Flashback Friday Party Post and More

While I am spending these last few days before school starts with my kids and getting them ready for school,  I am also beginning to think of fall and all of the fun posts that come with it. I have a long list of things I want to make and do.  As you know this summer was a hard one for me.  While I am sad to see summer end, the start of school will bring a new start, a new routine, and some new adventures. I am planning on writing on my second blog Surviving the Crazy Life again. My last post was way back in March when Kara was dealing with her migraines.  I did not mean to stop writing on it, it's just my life got TOO CRAZY :O  Yes, that is a shocked face. 

So while I am busy taking care of some other things today, I thought I would re-share some of my favorite apple party posts from a few years. Hard to believe it is apple picking time already!

Apple Candy Monsters and the Apple Party Week Round Up

This is my last official  post for Apple Party week. (though I have one more apple recipe, that  I am going to be sharing  very soon)   I thought I would  revisit a post that I shared last year, because it would be a great activity for an Apple Themed Party.....Apple Candy Monsters.  Just give each guest an apple and selection of candy and see all the fun creations they make. 

My kids had so much fun coming up with monster creations using candy we already had, and  a few things we picked up at the dollar store.  

You can definitely tell who made which apple.  LOL!  Kara turned hers into angel, and Kyle made his with horns, candy corn teeth, and a toothpick piercing.  

This year we tried to see what an apple monster would look like with  mini marshmallows as teeth.  I realized after we cut him that the shape of the apple made his face angle down.  He was kind of difficult to photograph that way.   We propped him up with another marshmallow, and all is good.   The green apple reminds me a little bit of Kermit the Frog. 

Here is a Round Up of all the Apple Party posts in case you missed them...

Apple Themed Cookies and Pops

It took me a bit longer today to get this posted than I would have liked.  Just as I was about to take pictures, a storm came through and I lost all of my natural light. By the time the storm was over, there was very little daylight.  I pulled out an old desk lamp, to try and give my kitchen a little more light.
