Monster Concert

We went to Ben and Carrie's Monster Concert last weekend. It was amazing! (See their Blog). You can't believe all the equipment brought in and crews setting up all day.

The parent volunteer decoration committe did a great job.

The camera and light crew in the back of the gym.

The cast, teachers, and performers pause for a picture. What a great evening of entertainment!

French Apple Pie

I had this crazy notion to make apple pie today. The kind with the oatmeal crumb topping. I haven't made this recipe in over 10 years. I guess I have to make it once every 10 years to remember why I only make it once every 10 years :) It took me 2 1/2 hours from start to clean up. The problem was the home grown apples from the yard were pretty small and by the time I peeled and cored them, there wasn't much apple left. It took me an hour to peel enough apples for these 2 pies. Well, the good part was eating a piece of warm apple pie and the house smelled like apples and cinnamon most of the day :)
