Today’s Activity:
Make caramel apples with your kids. I did this last year and we created some great memories. I hope you enjoy these photos of us from last year.
Variation: One of our readers Tonii made this comment:
Lovin all the ideas!! Hey fun idea you prob
ably have already seen, but for the caramel apples
familyfun.com had a really cute idea. You use a melon baller to make little scoops of apple. Then you dip those in the caramel and put sprinkles on. We did this last year and it is awesome for the little kids. Keep up the
great work, I am feeling less mediocre already!
Here is the recipe for those caramel apples. There are a few reviews of it that are NOT raving but Tonii loved them and I trust her so you decide which you would rather do.
Note:
This is our first activity in the kitchen and I hope you are looking forward to more. We will have at least 2 days a month dedicated to cooking with your kids. Also, be sure to let you children help and plan on having a nice mess to clean up afterward…it’s more memorable that way. 
Evaluate:
The library was fun but as always my kids were more excited about the cool toys they have there than they were about the books. I didn’t have as much patience with my kids yesterday so I tried to evaluate what I had done differently when I realized that we didn’t listen to any peaceful music so I vow to not forget again today.
FYI Oregon readers we just added you to the Events section. You’ve got lots of fun stuff going on for Halloween so check it out!
