1. For our Family Home Evening activity last Monday, we made caramel apples. It was fun, but the caramel was thick and got way too hard after we dipped the apples. After talking to a friend, I realized that we neglected to put any milk in the caramel when we heated it up! Can you tell I've never made caramel apples before?
So on Tuesday while the boys were at school, I peeled off the rock-hard caramel and re-heated it along with some milk this time. It turned out much nicer, and we were all able to enjoy a yummy treat that night :)
2. Thursday and Friday was Fall Break for the kids. We didn't do any big activities, but we did make some candy corn sugar cookies. They were so easy to make, and I love how they turned out! They look so cute, and are the perfect size to have 2 or 3 and not feel bad about it!
3. Friday night Ryan took us out to dinner. I guess we were in a celebratory mood, since we had just found out that the First Lady of Utah, a.k.a. the Governor's wife, is coming to the school concert (that I'm in charge of) next week! Woohoo! The boys unanimously chose The Brick Oven, and we were even lucky enough to get in without waiting (not sure how we were so fortunate -- there were TONS of people waiting)! We had a great night of pizza, pasta, and balloon "animals"!
Elizabeth loved her flower, and kept sniffing it!
Joshua got a sword that he also used as a light saber
An alien sat on Benjamin's head part of the time
Nathan got a pumpkin fresh off the vine
