October Traditions

Last year my husband and I started several new traditions for October. We usually go on a double date to a haunted house and we also make carmel apples and carve pumpkins with our family. This year was a lot of fun because the boys are a little older and they get really excited when Derek and I visit.

Last year we didn't have a double broiler so our apples were coated in carmel so hard that I was afraid it would pull the fillings in my teeth off. The apples were so hard they would have shattered if we had dropped them on the ground.

This year Braxton was really excited about decorating his apple with reeses pieces, milk chocolate and white chocolate. We all had a blast as we tried to create something different with our apples. My brother Steve got a little sick after eating his apple (it was triple coated in a variety of candy).

Afterwards we carved pumkins, unfortunately by that time my battery of my camera died.

We'll be having our family Halloween party this Friday, we're so excited to get dressed up.
