Swan Apples



I was feeding Ben at Elizabeth's rehersal dinner when Jack approached with an apple all cut up and placed together resembling a swan. It was so pretty. Jen, one of the chefs, had cut it up for the kids. Very simple (well, it was for her) and so cute. I told Eric to sneak in the kitchen and take notes. He did even better. He asked Jen to show him how it was done. I was so glad because i knew when we got home i would have someone ask for a swan apple. We were home a few days and i finally got the request. I asked Eric to show me and he kindly asked me to step to the side so he could "show me how it's done". I saw his attempt and thought i better try my own technique. Apple carving, or following directions for that matter, is not one of Eric strong points. HA!
Eric's skills

My skills. Yes, i am the coolest mom on the block!
