Green Apples

Lately, for some reason, Lucas has had a thing for Green Apples. Well, we haven't had any apples since we got home from our vacation, so yesterday, we bought some.

Today, all the boys are outside playing with the neighborhood friends. Lucas decided he wanted an apple, which meant EVERYONE needed apples. So to save on apples, i cut them up and everyone got a bowl with 4-5 pieces in them.

The problem with boys and apples in bowls is that, the apples have a tendency to jump out of the bowl. I had to rinse Eli's apples off, and then, later, Lucas came in with muddy apples.

I did my motherly duty, rinsing them and shaking them dry, placed them back into the bowl. As Lucas was walking away, quietly he said, "Thank you mom, you're a real hero."

Who knew what a simple act of apple washing would be deemed as heroism? Sometimes being a mom is awesome.
