This Fall has been a whirlwind of activities, as it always is, but it has been a lot of fun. So I thought I'd document a few of the activities that have kept us busy! First up...the Elementary School Fall Festival. They have this festival every year, and it is something that the kids really look forward to. They have tickets that they can use to do a cake walk (we won THREE cakes this year!), play little games, get their faces painted, get balloon animals, and get their hair sprayed a color (which the older three all did). Bryan and I always leave there exhausted, but it's so much fun for the kids.
This Fall we decided to make gourmet caramel apples. We saw some in a candy store in Galveston, and they looked so good! But they were seriously $20 each. I thought to myself...I can make those! And we did. We made six of them. All of them were covered in caramel and milk chocolate, and then topped with another special topping - one covered in M&Ms, one covered in cubed Reeses Peanut Butter Cup, one covered in white chocolate drizzle, one covered in crushed Oreos and white chocolate drizzle, and two covered in coconut and roasted pecans. Boy were they good! They were the best that first night, and I seriously had dreams of eating more that night.
Ella's Kindergarten class went on a Field Trip to a farm this Fall, and I was lucky enough to be able to chaperon. They went on a hayride, fed some goats, pet all sorts of farm animals, and got to feel some slimy worms. Ella had a great time, and it was fun to be there with her and her friends. (I love how disgusted Ella looks in this first picture, like there is no way she's going to touch those worms! But then just look at her...she loved it!)
Now this last picture needs no explaining. Anybody who has ever seen my hair in the morning knows where Ruby gets this crazy rat's nest. That is some serious bed head, Ruby!!
