the white house at the right time

Great Gatsby Style

A little WNO Witches Night Out Food and Gabbing Some of the "witches" flew in a little later, so another group photo.

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.

Corn maze. This baby pig, and all its sisters and brothers, were only hours old. Born only hours before we got to the farm. Hay jumping.

My mom sent up this cute Halloween magazine. Of course, tons of fabulous ideas. So Sunday we made up a couple plates of "Jolly Roger" scared silly, skeleton eggs. Of course the kids literally "ate it up." Next time, I need to remember sliced pimentos, not diced pimentos.
