No colored thumbs, but applesauce
I have had purple thumbs and green thumbs. What colored thumbs does a person have when cutting apples to make applesauce? Tonight my four boys and I cut Gaja apples to make applesauce. The twins are 4.5 had the task of twisting off the stems and cleaning up the peals and cores. Ezra, almost 7, had the task of cutting up the apples into small pieces so they cook faster. Later in the night he started to peal the apples. At first he said he could not do it, but after some coaching he said, "Dad that is how you do it, that is much easier". Calvin, 8.5 got to peal apples all night and at the most peals. In the end they all enjoyed the rewards of fresh hot applesauce.
