One of my favorite childhood fall memories is sitting up on the kitchen counter unwrapping about a gazillion Kraft caramels. Then as they were unwrapped one by one we'd plop them into the pot as mom stirred them until they were all gooey and melty.
Next come the fresh, crisp, cold apples. You can hear the crunch as you slide the stick into the core. Finally it's time to dip... 
and dip...
and dip...
and dip...watch the master at work...
Now comes the hardest part, the waiting for them to cool.
Tonight Jeff thought he'd be funny and issue a challenge to the kids while we were waiting... stick your finger all the way in the melted caramel. He did it first and only let out a mild whoop. Needless to say the kids are both standing at the kitchen sink letting cold water run over their fingers and Poppy is standing there laughing. Not the smartest kids on the block but they sure are fun. :-)
This makes my mouth water and my heart hurt to see these faces. I love those darling children do much! And their grandpa is Thee Best! He looks so happy to be there with you. Thanks for taking such good care of him! I love and miss you all so very much. xo xo xo
