FaLL FuN...

FALL is in the AIR. This week has been filled with Fall activities such as baking beirox, creating caramel apples, wearing Halloween shirts, and just LIVIN' LIFE to the FULLEST. Adlee has become quite a helper in the kitchen lately. She wants to help me do everything from ingredients to the cleaning at the end. I am LOVING my lil' helper even if she creates a bigger mess for me to clean up (LOL).

Today we created caramel apples. She unwrapped the caramels like a champ!!! She loved the sprinkles and she was very proud of her apples in the end. I made a few apples with choc. chips and pecans. GOODNESS, there should be a law against these things. WOW! So very YUMMY and very HEALTHY, TOO. (Well, the apples are anyways)!!! It was Priceless to watch all her lil' expressions as we completed each step!!! AND...They are so DELICIOUS!!!

Early in the week I made beirox for supper and some to freeze for a later date. Adlee loved playing in the flour and messing with the dough. Once again, another successful day in the kitchen:-)


Coloring really isn't just a FALL thing, but today she was organizing her colors all in a row and named them as she used them. Then, I joined in the fun and we counted on our fingers to ten. She tried so hard to get her fingers to match mine and she is doing great with her counting. Way to go AK, your just TOO SMART!!!
Happy FALL Ya'll!!!

What fun activites for Adlee to help with! I know she is learning a lot helping Mommy in the kitchen. I love it when she wants to help me with whatever I am doing in the kitchen, too.
I think it's wonderful that you are so patient and let her help. We know sometimes it is much easier to do it ourselves but then we miss out on that priceless time with them. You are to be commended on that!!

These are just adorable pics! I love all of Adlee's precious little expressions!!
Love,
