Great recycled art on display at Children's Hospital. I went with Andy the other night when he donated blood. Great art!

All of the pumpkins getting loaded into our gym for the Pumpkin Fair at my school. It took the kids 45 minutes to unload them! Great tradition!

Of course we had to visit the gift shop on our way out. I discovered these hilarious alien glasses!

Datenight at the Planetarium!
Andy and I went on a date last night. (I think this may have been our 3rd or 4th official "date" in all of our relationship!) We went to check out the planetarium at the Museum of Science. The Museum is a pretty special place for us since it is where we got married. We had hoped to have our ceremony in the planetarium, but at the time they didn't do weddings there. I think they might now... but not sure. Another reason the planetarium itself is special is because it is newly redesigned... thanks to LDa Architects. Andy didn't get to work on the project unfortunately, but he did get to tour it during construction!
The show was great. If anyone out there reading this blog ever gets the chance to go to the MOS, visit the planetarium!

Mr. Schrumm's best working shoes! He insisted that I take the photo with his foot dangling so that we could get the duct tape "flapping"! Karla's dad has a pair of boots that look quite like this. He calls them his "new boots". We need these two guys to meet one day! Too bad they are in CT and AK!

Happy 65th Birthday Mom!
We had a delightful dinner at the Wequasset Inn in Chatham, MA. Fancy! Fancy!

Michael Joseph Kenney
Born September 25, 2011
I got to visit wee Michael when he was only a few days old! Bridget and Bill are doing great. Michael is actually cute! (You all know how I don't like newborns!) He has chubby little cheeks... but he's tiny. Bridget says I should call him "Wee Wee Michael" because he had a little "accident" on me. Well, I'm sure it won't be the last time I get peed on in the next year or so! Hooray for Wee Michael!

I'm finally caught up! Keeping up with this blog has been tricky lately. But since I have the morning to myself today (Andy is at work on a Sunday... bummer), I have time to catch up on the blog. Yesterday I made two of mom's cakes. The one in the last post, and this one. This one looks better, but I'm not sure how it'll taste. It may have double the baking powder. Or it might have just the right amount, and have been over mixed!
I asked Carolynn what happens if there is too much powder here's what she said:
| Sometimes it won't matter, sometimes it will rise too much and then collapse, sometimes it will just be a little lighter. Let me know what happens. Usually with powder it's not as bug a deal as soda... |
It is in the freezer for another time. We shall see how it goes when we eventually eat it.

In other apple related news... I made a delicious apple cake from mom's recipe yesterday. I didn't give it enough time to cool and ended up with what mom would call a "cake quake"! Everyone says it tastes good still!

Once the jars and lids boiled, I added the sauce, covered them up and boiled them again. Magically the boiling process vacuum seals it all in! So the sauce doesn't need to be refrigerated (in our new fridge that actually has room for it but alas I canned this stuff anyway!).

Onto the next part of the process. Canning! This is something that Karla taught me a few years ago before she moved to New Mexico. The first part is sterilization of the jars and lids. You boil the crap out of them!

Ahhh... The Foley Food Mill. It seems so many people of my generation don't know what it is! Jennie and I learned from Mom how to make applesauce. This is really the only way to do it if you are a Perkins. I was glad to hear that my friends Meghan and Bridget each had one and use the same process for sauce!
