Old school fun…..and it involves something healthy!

Do you want a way to get your kids to eat an entire apple in once sitting? Then ask for more? Better yet, want a way to get your kids to FIGHT over apples? Then get yourself an old fashioned apple peeler. This thing is awesome and has been around for literally 100’s of years.

We went to my Aunt’s house and she whipped this thing out and I was amazed. I was even more amazed to learn that her actual apple peeler was the one my grandmother used when she made hundreds of apples pies year after year. I figured it was some fancy thing that my aunt got off of an informercial. My Aunt Diane is nothing short of amazing. She likes all things inappropriate and our minds are way too much alike. She likes farts, boxed wine and laughing. Laughing is the best. Boxed wine is not bad either. She finds it hysterical when people vomit and she can shake her groove thing on the dance floor. She does not mess around.

Everyone should have an Aunt Diane. It is my dad’s only sister. I wish my Grandma had a blog when she was raising those 2 because the stories are amazing. Like the time my dad got a bird without telling anyone and decided to hide it in the heat register in the house, in turn cooking the poor thing. He was water boy for the Varsity basketball team and his favorite color was pink. My grandma told me she always teased him because his whole closet was filled with clothes, lots of them pink. While my Aunt Diane would be out on the farm running around with boys, Eddie (my dad) would be right next to her making pies. “I would tell him, Eddie, get outside and run around with the boys.” Well, my amazing parents have been married almost 50 years and have 7 kids and my dad does have a better wardrobe than my mother so I guess it has always been his thing. He still does wear pink too. When they were little they lived on a farm and one year they ended up dying somewhere around 56 DOZEN eggs. 56 DOZEN or 57 DOZEN, either way, thats a lot of eggs and they of course, had to eat them all too. Can you imagine eating that many hard boiled eggs? Something tells me they didn’t have any friends visit without a clothespin on their snoot.

Anyway, back to the peeler. It takes the entire peel off, cores it and then slices the apple into rings. My pals think it is tits. So do I.

Miss Eden can barely contain her excitement when we whip it out. They take turns doing their own apples. They cannot turn the wheel again until they finish the first apple. Most times I whip it out my pals will eat 2 apples. Amazing.

They actually take turns peeling their own apple and L.A.’s favorite part is that super long string of peel that comes off as well. I tell him to put the peel in the garbage but he would rather pretend he is a zombie full of spider webs.

You can buy it on Amazon for less than 20 bucks. Worth every penny. Free shipping too with Prime. On a side note, if you do not have Amazon Prime. Do it. You deserve it and if you do a lot of online shopping, it will pay for itself in a month. (Prime is one year of free 2 day shipping for 80 bucks. You can try it free for one month too. Check it out)

So it is good clean fun, takes time and my pals consider it a “project”. We do one project a day over here so this makes life real easy when this one of them. Clean up is a breeze since they eat the mess we make.
