Herman and Lily say BOO

The treaters were many and some were scared. The fog was rolling over the path and the music was blaring spooky sounds and songs.

Many of the kids didnt know the Munsters! Are we that old? Until the rain and wind hit at 8:15 we had a great time.
Sydney-Marie was a spider and Lola was a vampireAKA Eddie Munster.

Chinoiserie pumpkin from Martha Stewart

Happy Halloween!

Martha Stewart had this Chinese dragon on her web site. It won her pumpkin contest. It has 10 pumpkins and 400 toothpicks and took footballmom3 52 hours to create.

We are getting ready to scare the neighbor children with our costumes so 

Have a Pink day!

Halloween treats a la Martha Stewart

I got this idea from the Martha Stewart Halloween magazine. She sure loves this holiday. She made them with chocolate madeleines but I opted for brownies without nuts and I fixed the marshmallow skulls on with a bit of chocolate icing. The eyes and nose in skulls are black frosting i put on with a toothpick and actually made a hole.
The mouth is a cut and you cut the sides of the big marshmallow with scissors to give it a skull shape. I gave these treats to the neighbor kids, postal carrier etc. We do candy on trick or treat night but these were extra.
I think the treating time should always fall on the Saturday closest to October 31 it would make life easier and who wants to go out on a school night?
Have a Pink day!

Tricks

Sydney-Marie had fun on Halloween. She was a fairy princess .She had wings and a hat. She was so good with all the treaters. She sat on her chair and wore her costume for 3 hours! We were dressed up also. We love Halloween. Fog and scary music added to the setting.

She looks so cute in costumes. She enjoys the dressing up. Simone-Marie does not really like to dress up or be around a lot of people she is 12 and shy. We do not make her dress up.

We have already planned our matching costumes for next year! You will have to wait and see but they will be something very fun. Sydney-Marie is excited about her coordinating costume.

Have a PINK day!
