Halloween Update



Wow, what a busy time of year. Halloween has never been this crazy before! I think we dressed Canon and Savana in their costumes for one party or another about 5 times! It was almost as much work as Christmas! Ok, not really, but I felt like the two weeks leading up to Halloween were crazy! We went to Halloween parties with MOMS clubs, church, school and friends. And we even missed a few parties. I was too tired to hit them all. Then we topped it all off with the neighbors on Halloween night. After our effort to be sufficiently stocked with Halloween candy, we went to the neighbors for dinner and then I hung out there with Savana and the other moms while the dads took the kids trick-or-treating. It was quite a site. Many people had little bonfires in their driveways and were sitting out with their garages all decked out for the trick-or-treaters. Pretty fun. Canon came home with a full pumpkin and Seth has been getting his fill of sugar ever since. I've been doing my best to stay away and made Seth put it up high where I can't reach it. Except with my trusty stool when I am really in need :) Which I am happy to report I've not even used yet. Not that I need to. Sugar just seems to be plentiful in all shapes and sizes this month. All this candy and we still made pumpkin cookies. Canon kept bringing me his pumpkin asking me to make it into a pumpkin pie. (I think I need to thank Disney's Imagination Movers for this request) So finally I just put the whole thing in the oven and we are now fully stocked with pumpkin in the freezer. While I was cutting it up, Savana saw food and wanted it. She kept screaming at me and signing for food. So I thought if I gave her a bite she would think it was yucky and leave me alone. No such chance, she liked it and wanted more. Oh well, it's good for her. I sometimes wonder if she has taste buds or will just eat anything.
