Halloween Festivities

Tried some new cookies.  Super yummy - find the recipe here.  I didn't have an orange so I used 1/2 tsp of orange extract.  So yummy.

Ready for some pumpkin carving!

 Are there any Octonauts fans out there?  Camden chose to carve Kwaazi and he even got to help carve the straight lines!

 Jake did his own - start to finish.  Drew carved his the week before so that he could enter the contest at school.  He was excited to win second place, but we took the picture a week late when his pumpkin was getting a little saggy.

Surprise, surprise, Someone wanted a Minnie Mouse.  And it was love at first sight as soon as she was done.

 She even read Minnie a story!

It was a fun afternoon on Halloween Eve with my four little people eating cookies, carving pumpkins, a little homework, and some Monster Mash music!



 Treats to pass out at Jacob's Halloween party at school, plus a couple bags for my A-1 helpers, Camden and Emmie.  I underestimated how exhausting it would be to retrieve pumpkins and restack pyramids of toilet paper for Pumpkin Bowling.  Camden's help was invaluable!  Emmie - not so much.  Jacob was a big help running to catch her when she took off to go outside to the playground.

Our traditional treat of caramel apples

 One super tired geisha - staying up late jumping on her bed the night before and playing through naptime on Halloween makes Emmie a tired girl.  She got herself a snack of rotisserie chicken and milk from the fridge.  Too tired to trick-or-treat anymore!
