Halloween happenings

We started out the week with our youngest having strep which 3 days later landed us at the hospital progressing into Pnemonia. With a week of missed school and mom in the hospital for cellulitis we had a lot of time to prepare some goulish treats.

With the help of my oldest daughter, we frosted cutout cookies, made cupcakes and went trick or treating not once but twice. We even made some witches brew which was quite a hit.

Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween and made some special memories of your own.

Carving the pumpkin

There's something about the innocence and excitement of a young child and carving their Halloween pumpkin. For a first timer our youngest grand baby dug right in. As for my youngest she's all pro and well seasoned at gutting a pumpkin. She even remembered to separate the seeds for roasting later.

I absolutely love the carving tools they sell now days too. I can tell you we sure didn't have anything like them. They do wear out and break quick and although these two little punkins are too young to use them yet I sure love them.
