Today is United Nations International Day of Peace. We celebrated by reading some stories and poems out of the Big Book of Peace. Musa remembered back on the anti-war protest he went to last year in D.C. and the candle lighting vigil that we held the other night. He asked if he could write a letter to the President and tell him to stop the war. We will work on that tomorrow.
We spent the entire weekend canning apples, rasberries and peaches. We made applesauce, apple pie filling, peaches and froze some rasberries. We also made some slightly sweetened chunky applesauce stuff to spoon over oatmeal. Musa says he can't wait for the first day of snow so he can warm up with a bowl of oatmeal.
We bought a apple peeler/corer at the farm store and the kids had a blast peeling apples. It is truly a wonderful toy. It makes peeling apples so much fun that I think we ate to many! Too many apples, rasberries and peaches makes for achy tummies. I can't remember the last time I had a stomach ache from eating to much fruit. This of course lead to a discussion about digestion and why some foods cause this. Musa quickly figured out that all those little seeds in rasberries are fiber. Enough said, yesterday was just a quiet day as we a recouperated from our fiber overdose.
Musa has been working a little on his glue project. He made the cover for his report. I don't think he has decided what else he will do. Loretta made a little book about fish, birds, spiders and flowers. I asked he if she wanted to send it to someone and she said, "No, I am keeping this one for myself it is so pretty."
