Carmel Apples

For Family Home Evening, we decided to try something new that we have never done as a family.  We made Carmel Apples. 

It was a really fun and yummy activity! 

They turned out beautiful!!!

We couldn't eat them the same night because we wanted them to set up.  Well, we didn't take a picture the next morning, because we wanted to remember them the way they look in the picture above.  By morning, all the carmel and treats had melted right off the apples and lay "stuck" in a pile on the wax paper.  We didn't get to devour them the way we had hoped.  We had a great time anyway, and what we could salvage from the wax paper, was simply delicious!

(Next time, we just might melt the carmel

 and dip the sliced apples in it...)

Cat in the Hat

Josie is in preschool this year and she LOVES her teacher Mrs. Heather.  This week they were working on the letter "C" so they all dressed up like the Cat in the Hat.  Josie was so proud of her tail, tummy, hat and ribbon in her hair.  Isn't she adorable? 

She is doing fantastic in learning her letters and she absolutely LOVES 

pulling out her homework when the other kids are doing theirs. 

Mrs. Heather really goes all out in teaching these little ones.  Josie brought home bread and homemade butter that they made in class during the week "B."  She just can't wait to go to school.
