Caramel apples, elephants, and donkeys


I loved the idea of making caramel apples, but once they were done and we tried to bite into them... well, they weren't kid friendly at all.  In fact, I even had a hard time chewing them up.  They were yummy, but oh so hard on the teeth.  Probably got some cavities from those.  Luckily I made some chocolate covered pretzels with the leftover chocolate and the boys liked those.  Gotta remember to keep it simple.


Today, we did some crafty things for election day. The boys liked coloring their elephants and donkeys and making their stars.  We did a vote too - secret ballot, of course.  The vote was whether they liked the elephant or donkey better.  Jared and Nathan both picked the donkey and Owen picked the elephant.  If only my vote would have made a difference...   :)

That is REALLY cute!! WOW I would have never thought of election day crafts! And yummy caramel apples- sorry they were extra chewy. We used to make some with fudge that we would buy at the byu bookstore and those were extra yummy too.
