My two oldest have graduated and my littlest, who isn't even pictured, is about to turn 3!). In many ways, I love having them home during the summer.

It was heavy too - had to use some muscle to hold it with one hand. ;) I scraped out the soft, seedy part and started shredding. ELEVEN cups of finely shredded zucchini, people! Good thing I love chocolate zucchini bread, lemon poppy... …
