Yo, yo, the coolest Storm Trooper and Ninja Turtle around!
Traditional hot dog mummy's
Taking a break to look through some of their loot!
What can I say, this will go down as one of the best Halloweens ever! We had so much fun at Emi and Grandpa's this year since Halloween fell on a Saturday this year. We met up with great friends for some pre-game drinks. Then we went on a hayride through the neighborhood sipping on spiked hot chocolate while the kids went door to door. Then when we came home Grandpa had made a ROARING fire for us in the firepit. A perfect end to a perfect day!
These were so fun for our Halloween party tonight. We used pumpkin spice cake mix and made the cupcakes according to package directions. Then we made a simple buttercream icing and dyed the icing orange. Then we used a black icing pen to draw on jack-o-lantern faces. So cute!
Look at all those beautiful leaves to play in! The scene when we arrived on Friday evening. :)
We were welcomed into the warm house to loaded baked potato soup and red wine. Both equally soothing for the soul!
This was a dish suggested by my hubby, and it actually turned out pretty tasty!
I sauteed the beef tips with seasonings in a pan, then I made the gravy using 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of flour and 3 cups of beef broth, simmering until thickened. I poured the gravy mixture and beef tips over french fries I baked in the oven according to package directions. Yummy!
These were so fun to make. I just used store bought sugar cookies and cut them into rectangular shapes. Then I whipped up a buttercream frosting and dyed it green. Then I used marshmallows for the eyes and a black frosting pen to make the hair, eyes and mouth! They turned out super cute.
We had so much fun at our local hometown highs chool football teams home game! It was really extra fun being the week before Halloween, with a chill in the air and the spirit of fall all around us! The team won too!
This is a fun craft for the kids! Cute out a "ghost" pattern and add eyes and a mouth. Let the kids fill in the ghost with cotton balls that they glue onto the pattern!
