Sunday Funday!

Ready for the Caramel!

After a great morning at church, it was time for family fun time!!  The kids wanted to make caramel apples, which we have never done!  I thought it would take forever to unwrap the 50 little pieces of caramel but poof, I turned around and all my little monkeys had them all unwrapped.  Dan was in charge of the caramel on the stove since I have been voted “Most Likely to Burn Whatever is Cooking!”  The little darlings all speared their apples and waited in line by the stove, youngest to oldest. Ed was so cute and enthusiastic and told Dan he was such a “Good Boy!” and “So Nice!”  Everything went really great with no accident or injuries, which is always a challenge especially when you are dealing with apples on sticks and burning hot caramel!

Then it was pumpkin carving time!  The kids picked out the design and our master carver (AKA Dan) went to work!  Everything was going along fine but then the design paper got wet with pumpkin juice and the paper started to disintegrate.  We definitely had to wing it!  I got a sharpie out and drew the rest of our helmet design and I must say, I did a pretty good job!  We got a candle and tried it out and were pleasantly surprised!

 

It's all about the []_[]!

Dan grilled an awesome dinner of steak and ribs and then it was time to try out the caramel apples.  When the directions said to put butter on the wax paper, I am thinking we should have listened versus spraying it with Pam. Mags came in chewing and chewing what ended up being wax paper!  The kids loved it and when I was trying to take a picture and get Ed to pose, he yells out, “I can’t!  KC is attacking me!” (For the apple)  Dan had to bite Annie’s to get it started for her and said they were delicious!  After dinner, we all went outside to light up our U pumpkin!  We went and got our Nole/Gator neighbors to come take a look and they were pretty impressed but probably not thrilled when they went back inside and their dog ate their loaf of bread.  When we went inside, KC ate a whole bag of steak scraps :/  All and all it was a Sunday Funday!!  

KC wanted to know where her apple was??
