Apple Cider
A friend shared this recipe with me and it turned me into a cider lover from a cider abstainer.1/3 cranberry juice
2/3 apple cider
mulling spices (the whole kind not the crushed)
Heat on stove till warm, not boiling.
Pumpkin Carving
I tried carving a pumpkin with ConLai and Matthias (our neighbor boy whom I watch on Tuesdays). I opened it up; they saw the inside and said, "Dirty!". Needless to say I did the whole pumpkin myself. And boy did I have fun.Caramel Apple Dipping
My mom had a caramel apple dipping party for my sister's birthday. I thought it was such a great idea, I did that for ConLai's birthday. All the candy and caramel is probably what makes it so fun. Here's what my mom researched online and found. My apples still all puddled up at the bottom though with caramel.1. Pour boiling water over apples to take wax off.
2. Chill apples. Put popsicle sticks in apples.
3. Make caramel: Unwrap bag of caramels. Add a couple Tbsp each of marshmallow creme and milk. Melt caramel in microwave.
4. Dip apples in caramel. Holding apples, rotate until caramel begins to harden (10 minutes). Or just put back in fridge for 5-10 minutes.
5. Dip carameled apples in candy. Chill.
6. EAT 'EM!
Raking Leaves and Jumping in Them
Ask mother before jumping off the roof into them. If you have no trees you probably have a hay bale and those are just as fun. (Be sure to cut the strings and loosen up the hay before jumping.)
Flannel Sheets
I'm finding out it is fun to curl up under flannel sheets and a blanket and hide from children. It doubles as a hideout and a warm place.Pumpkin Bars
A friend just shared some pumpkin bars made up of cake mix, pumpkin and nuts. It was delicious!Pumpkin Bread
Another friend has shared pumpkin bread in the past and it is yummy and once I made it I figured out why. It has a ton of sugar!
