The Freedom Bags were filled today for the soldiers.  Thank you so much to everyone who contributed snacks.  Our bags were so full that I almost couldn't staple them shut. 

 We wrote applesauce recipe books today.  I'll give you a few more details just in case you want to try this at home.

Crockpot Applesauce

8 - 10 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Put it all in a crockpot and let it cook until the apples are tender, about 4-5 hours. The apples will not break down on their own so you can mash them up or I used an immersion blender on them and that gave them a nice consistency. 

Tomorrow is Nerd Day.  I can't wait to see all the little nerds in the school.
