Caramel and Candied Apples

We spent tonight carameling and candying apples. Its the first time I have done them with the kids so I'd forgotten what all went into it. The kids had fun unwrapping carmels and watching. You don't have much time to get the caramel on before it hardens so Ben did most of that. Then the candy coating is in essence sucker syrup so it was 300 degrees when it went on. Ben and I hurried and coated the apples and the kids all pretended to eat poison apples and die. But the best part is the eating of course so fun was had by all!

I have all but given up on catching up on this summer's activities. I still have hope that it will happen but for now I am going to try to blog as I go. It was a busy summer and school is getting busier and busier as it goes along. I look forward to the day when all I have to do is work full time and be a mom!
