Canning Apple Sauce and a Naked Little Boy

I took the boys to Twin over conference weekend to can apple sauce with mom. It turned out that the store was closed over the weekend and on Monday so dad was there to help out too. It was nice to spend a whole day with my parents. That Monday was a cold, windy autumn day. I had to wear my jacket all day and wished I had a coat. That wind just cut you to the bone! We were nearing the end of the canning process and getting ready to give the jars a water bath to seal them shut. As mom and I were prepping the last batch we looked out the kitchen window and just busted up laughing.

Zander had stripped off his clothes, poured cold water in the pot, and sat in it! I went outside to get his picture and asked him what he was doing. He replied, "I'm taking a bath mom." Kinda like duh, what does it look like I'm doing, haha! I couldn't believe he was naked sitting in cold water while I was shivering in my jacket, but he's always loved the water and will find any excuse to play in it no matter what.

Mom and I got to do a little shopping on night for an hour or two; that was fun. Then the next day she had to mow the lawn, and of course, Zander wanted to help too. It was so cute to watch them together.

The rest of the week Trish's kids were at the house; the boys loved getting to play with their cousins. And I got my Ninja Turtle masks made. We always love going to grandma and grandpa's house!
