Feeling a bit Halloweenish

 So the church game night party is this evening.  As soon as Leon heard the pastor announce it two weeks ago, he was all, "I'm GOING TO THAT!!!" because he'd be able to wear his new costume that his dad got him and he is very good friends with a little girl in Sunday school.

Back when "plague-wear" was much more interesting and fashionable.


He just needed a leather coat that hangs to his shoes.  Um, we couldn't find that this week but I did find Ryan's old Darth Vader cloak AND an adult sized costume from the Goodwill.

He also was spending this week at his moms.  I LOVE that he is begging to go to a church event, SO...  thanks to some extra driving today, tomorrow and Sunday, he'll be here tonight, his dad takes him back tomorrow and I'll pick him back up again on Sunday night after trick or treating with his siblings, where he has a totally different costume that his mom got him.

Did I ever mention how instrumental Robb was in all this chauffeuring business?  He was awesome. 

Here's what I made for my treats tonight AND it fits into my diet easily! Aren't they cute?


The little stems are pickle strips and the filling contains pumpkin puree and horseradish.  HERE's the recipe.


I did add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring to make it more orange.

Leon won't like them, but I know for a FACT that there will be other treats there.  He'll be fine.

And Maddy is coming down for the evening and staying overnight! 

Tomorrow, I'll be helping Meri take some fall pictures of one of her close friends, who is pregnant.  The theme is "pumpkins".

The spider webs are out in front of my house again this year and I JUST found the actual spiders for them.  But here they are without the spiders.


Ryan and Jen have a wedding to attend, but I will make chili and fresh bread for tomorrow night and Meri, Ryan (bf) and I will eat to our hearts content and hand out candy around the firepit out front.  I'll probably have some lights shining up on the spiders.  Not sure yet.  Depends on my mood tomorrow.

Note to self, buy candy tomorrow!

And during my free time today, I'll be making some adjustments to Meri and Ryan's costumes for some parties they're going to this weekend.

Have a wonderful Halloween!!!

It all sounds like a fun Halloween weekend. Good pinch hitting in Leon's costume. I'm sure you have moments regularly where Robb's stable and loving presence being missed jumps out. Hugs to you in every moment.

What a fun Halloween!
I bet Leon will be the best plague doctor! Glad he is excited about the party, and I think your pumpkin eggs are so cute. Neat spider webs too. Are you going to dress up to hand out candy?
Have a great weekend.
