An Apple for the Teacher

I had seen some cute apple cookie lollipops circulating the internet and decided I wanted to make some. My first idea was to do it for the kid's teachers for the first day of school. I didn't purchase the supplies until the middle of the school week, so they became a "Thanks for a good first week of school and looking forward to a great year" gift.

You can't tell here, but the lollipop part wasn't working. The stick was too big for the cookies to stay together. They kept falling apart as I was trying to dip them. I gave up on the lollipop idea and resorted to just dipping them as a cookie.

I think they turned out cute.

This is the kind of "apple" I'd want to receive as a teacher. :)

Peach Cobbler

It was Monday....

and we all know what that means....

Family Home Evening!

Abree was in charge of TREAT.

She pulled up the step stool and went to work making peach cobbler. I restrained myself (mostly) and let her do the baking.

Good job Chef Abree..... the cobbler was delicious!

I meant to take a picture of the final product, but it was half eaten by the time I remembered. :)

Payday!

Do you like Payday candybars???

If so, try this recipe. It's not exactly like the candybar, but a yummy treat for sure.

Lollipops

Lyrics to 2 different songs come to my mind, as I look at these pictures..."Lolly, lick a lolly, lick a lolly, lollipop" (I believe that one came from "Electric Company". Do you remember that PBS show?) and... "Lollipop, lollipop, ooo lolly lollipop, lollipop, POP!"

Rylee actually has another lollipop from her birthday, a year ago.
Wonder how long this one will last?

Taylee says hers tastes like "watermelon marshmallow".

In true, "Treyson form", Treyson had broken his and had most of his lollipop eaten before bed time.

One of the first things Abree did, was smell her lollipop. (I don't know why she likes to smell her food, but she does this often.) Abree reported that it smelled like strawberries, but tasted like sugar.

I got these for the kids, while I was on my trip. It's not much, but I like to bring a little something home to them, when I've been away. It's proof that although I was kid-less during the week, I still thought of them. :o)
