This year for the teachers we made food bags. The finished product:

Basically what was inside, except much much more:
And the gourmet apple. before:

After:

(I did try to add peanuts, but they weren't lovin' the caramel that day)

We tried everything (only for safety reasons ;-) ) and it was all yummy--I hope the teachers liked them too!

Can you guess what was inside the bags? I'll give you a clue: there were 9 things in the bag.

From 2 wackos 2 you!

This is Sam and I saying hello: He's obviously freaked out by the whole situation.

We are weird. Very weird.

But he can freak me out. A lot. 

We have our moments....

We like snow.

But in the end, we will stick together in any situation. (sam says "not!").

Hope you all had a good day!
