Cherished Memories: November 2008

May The Force Be With You.........

Happy Halloween!
The boys had a very eventful Halloween day. They started the morning in costume. Poor Hopper...we wanted him to be a hippie dog but it didn't work out like we wanted it to. Dillon of course was Darth Vader and Boos was the one and only Yoda! They made Halloween cupcakes at Flo's house decorated with sprinkles, gummy worms, spiders and pumpkin suckers. They also made some Halloween ghosts and played a bunch of fun games! All the kids were dressed up in their costumes....it was a busy day at daycare! Later that evening Daddy took they boys over to Papa's house and then to G.G.'s house to show off their costumes and get a treat or two or three....it matters not! They are pretty darn cute! And finished the night by trick or treating in the neighborhood. It was a fun day filled with LOTS and LOTS and CANDY! In fact, they woke up the next morning asking for CANDY for breakfast....um, I don't think so!!!!!

Dough Boys

I made some peanut butter play dough for the boys this week. It was a hit! They used Halloween cookie cutters to make ghosts, witches and pumpkins. The boys (and Hopper) pretty much ate their whole ball of dough by the time all was said and done!!! It was fun though and really yummy!

PEANUT BUTTER PLAY DOUGH RECIPE

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup powdered milk
**I added a little flour to make the dough a little less sticky**

Mix all ingredients to desired play dough consistency! Delicious!

Pumpkin Carving

We had so many pumpkins to carve this year we had to do our carving on two different days! We had Papa, Grandma, Andrew, Ali, John and the Toland clan over to carve. We finished up the night with bread bowls and chili after all our hard work. Later in the week we had the Hadden fam over to carve the rest of the pumpkins. Our sweet Hadden girls hard at work; carved some awesome pumpkins! Boos wasn't a fan of carving that day, but Dillon didn't seem to mind pumpkin guts!!
