Peelin' Apples!
I told Bonnie she could peel the apples today (the kids just LOVE the apple peeler/corer and ask me if they can use it all the time!)...Saved me a lot of time!
She got to work right away, very happily. She was doing such a great job that I thought I should take a picture- but she asked me if I could do a video instead, since she was trying to go really fast. So I did, and here it is:
Once Caleb and Noah realized we were having so much fun, they had to be part of it. Noah wanted to join in and have a go at it. Then, Caleb wanted to try to prove he could be faster than Bonnie. lol
Bonnie's still in there peeling apples and having a blast. I should get them to take the burden off me more often...it's kind of nice! 
Plus, it is good for teaching them what kind of preparation goes into the foods they eat.

I'm tellin' ya - I don't remember how I survived without that amazing tool! I noticed it was moving around on your daughter...mine has a lever that suctions (sp?) it to the countertop. Check to see if yours does, too and it will stay put to make the kids peel and core and slice EVEN FASTER!!

Katie, you're right...ours has it. The only problem is that it won't stick to the table for very long before it comes off. I guess the table isn't smooth enough of a surface. It works GREAT on a counter, but the table was easier for the kids to reach. lol

Oh Bethany! Its so neat to actually see and hear your family. I mean I see pictures of course but to see them moving around and stuff is really neat.... If that makes sense at all. hehe
It seems like caleb really wanted to beat Bonnie!!
So precious!

I understand exactly what you mean! Seeing someone in real time is so much more fun than just still pictures.
Thanks so much for the nice words!!
