As some of you may know, we decided to be Monsters Inc. characters for Halloween this year. For more than a year now people have told us that Bridget looks like Boo from Monsters Inc., so we thought it would be a fun thing to do. You may remember my previous post, and the call […]

Last week Bridget and I made caramel apples. She helped me melt the caramel in the pan, and we dipped them in and drizzled some chocolate, or rolled them in nuts. And after we finished… We dipped our fingers in the leftover melted chocolate and then in the nuts. And we licked the caramel spoon […]

I haven’t done a post like this for awhile. Since I have far more pictures than I have time to write about them, I thought it would be a great opportunity. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. Here are ten. I added captions… but what do they say to you??? “I can do […]
