Oh, Granny

Why is it that rarely a person likes Granny Smith apples alone, but in pie and with caramel it makes the perfect marriage?

Jane's sour face. It's the sour of the apple and sweet of the caramel that makes everything so very perfect!

So now you know what we did Thursday.

Day 7: Caramel Apples.

The most amusing part of all of this was that my children can't say caramel, so all day I kept getting asked, "When are we going to make the ... what are they called?"

My big helpers unwrapping all the caramels. Hardest part about this was keeping them from popping the caramel in their mouth.

Of course, once Mommy got the help she needed to make the apples, we ended our traditions with our typical fare: Eating.

Poor child couldn't eat it off the stick. When will the year come that we eat caramel apples the way they were intended?
