Candy time!

It just isn't fall to me without candy and carmel apples!

It has been a long time tradition in my family to vi sit apple hill every year, come home, and mak these tasty treats! I like to share that with the kids, and the older ones get a laugh out of my stories about my little sisters. So this week we made both kinds of apples! The kids helped me measure out all the ingrediants for the candy "sauce" and got to watch me gook it on the stove. We then melted our carmel and I let the kids pick which kind they wanted! Suprise surprise, the girls piked the "pink" sauce, and the boys picked the carmel. After lunch time that day I sliced one of each and let them try both! They had no trouble eating apples that day =)


I also let these crazy kids paint with pumpkin yogurt!

We added pumpkin puree to organic vanilla yogurt and stirred it..... and kept stirring it! I made sure everyone could eat it, because I knew once they figured out it tasted good the painting would stop. And it did! They had a great time being allowed to play with thier food and get messy. A moto I picked up from Christy- let them get messy! And so we did. We covered ourselves in yogurt, ate yogurt, made pictures withyogurt. We drew letters and numbers and our mommies and families. We had a great time cooking this week!
