the white house at the right time

Madalyn has decided she wants to play team basketball this year. Randy is so pumped. He has been shooting a lot with her. Kenzie watching sister play. Notice that blue sky. I really like the color blue!

I recently bought a pack of fresh tortillas, found in the refrigerated section of Costco, and have totally loved them. They are so easy and versatile. Just drop in heated pan, cook for 30 sec., flip and cook again. No oil. Comes out warm. So one afternoon Cayleb , Kenzie and I decided to make pumpkins. Cute. But the cut out eyes and mouth didn't work as well when we used them as powdered sugar crepes. Still yummy. Just messy.

Our easy way to add a little holiday flair to school lunches.

The group! Our monster cupcakes. This was my first time making these. Turned out cute. Practicing trick-or-treating at a few houses. Momma Witch and Lil Girl Princess. Making Witch Stew. The kids were totally into making our stew of gummy worms, gummy frogs, eyes, fingernails (sliced almonds), bat juice (soda), and skeleton bones (pretzels). We "cooked" it up on the stove. It had to simmer while we went out trick-or-treating. When we came back it was ready to eat. Magically another pot with real yummy food magically appeared on the stove.

This year Makenzy used cookie cutters to cut her pumpkin. We used a rubber mallet to hammer them in. It worked out really well, since little ones and knives don't mix as well as pumpkin and spice. Cayleb's, Cayden's, Madalyn's pumpkins.
