Oh Yeah Ladies!

Let me just set the tone for you. Imagine Ferris Buellers day off. The song with the Ferrari scene. "Oh Yeah.........Beautiful............chick-a, chick-a."

For Halloween Shaun was not just any 80's dude. He was his brother Thom in the 80's. Thom had a really RAD mullet. Looked just like this.

Let's take this for a ride.

The witch

Woo hoo Witchy women.

HALLOWEEN FUN

MoNsTeR Cupcakes

These were really fun to make! Thanks Amy for the fun idea. You can get creative and make your own with whatever candy you think would make a great monster face.

My little Trick or Treater

Chocolate GHOST suckers

You can use Almond Bark or white chocolate chips. All you do is melt the chocolate. Add some vegetable oil to the chocolate so you can spread the chocolate easier.

Spoon out a ghost shape onto parchment paper. Add sucker stick, Then cover with more chocolate so it holds better. Make some eyes. I used red hots. Put in the fridge until hard.

PUMPKIN time

Cleaning out the guts





I carved a detail into the pumpkin. It looked really cool in the dark. I couldn't get a good picture with my flash on my camera. It was the first time I had done a design. Their really fun to do. I recommend that you get the really good carving tools. Not the crap cheap ones.

Pumpkin seeds

I roasted the pumpkin seeds in the oven. I just coated them with olive oil and salt. Shaun and I enjoyed them. Does anyone know of a good way to separate the seeds from the guts? That is a pain. I put all the guts and seeds in the sink with very cold water. The seeds are supposed to float to the top so you can scoop them up better. They did float to the top, But so did a lot of the guts. It took a long time to pick out the seeds.




Halloween block party

We had a Halloween block party at our house. We started at 8:00pm. We had soup, snacks, treats, and fun SPOOKY music. Thanks to all that participated! It was a fun Halloween/October.

October teeth fest!

Max now has his 2 lower teeth. Fully visible and looking so cute when he smiles. AND.......................His top teeth are coming in! His top right tooth has already made it's appearance. The top left is soon to follow. It's almost there! October teeth fest at our house!

Referring to the picture to my left. This is what I love most about the cooler weather. Snuggling Max up! I love those little caps!

Also, Happy Halloween!! I've been doing a lot of fun Halloween things! I'll have to post tomorrow about all the Halloween fun with lots of pictures! Monster cupcakes, Pumpkin carving, ghost chocolate suckers, roasted pumpkin seeds, costumes, decorations, and the fun block party I'm having at my house tonight! I Love Halloween!!

Utah TRIP------Part II

The Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch with my mom, sisters, and kids. I love enjoying the fun of the Halloween holiday.

My little Pumpkin. All dressed up for the occasion in orange.

The cousins

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!!














The Corn Maze

I went in with some of my nieces and nephews. They scattered every which way and left Max and I by ourselves. LOST!

I was pushing this little umbrella stroller through the rough terrain. I just wanted to get out of the stupid thing! LOL! I think I like Corn Mazes a lot more when there haunted. It makes it more fun.

Which way Max? I think the scarecrow is pointing the way. Get us out of here!
