{ Happy Halloween! }

We had a great Halloween! Baker went as...well, a Baker! It was his first Halloween and I figured this is probably the only time he'll let me dress him this way. He was adorable and loved all the attention! We went trick or treating at my parents house and the neighbors next to them and then we went to Andrew's mom and dad's house for some yummy chili and bread sticks.

When we got there, everyone was taking pictures of Baker, and as you can see, he was hammin' it up for everyone! We trick or treated at a few more neighbor houses and then went home. 

It was so fun dressing him up and easy! I made the little apron and printed an iron on transer that said "Baker" to the front of it (you can't see it in this picture). I used the tutorial from The Train to Crazy to make his little chef hat, and we bought the mini rolling pin from Ikea. He also had a little oven mitt that I made that he refused to wear - silly kid.

I hope your Halloween was great too!

{halloween dinner}

Tonight, my mom hosted a cute Halloween dinner complete with lambs eyes, apple monsters, & a yummy stew in pumpkin bread bowls! It was delicious and very festive! Thanks Mom!
Lambs Eyes
(green olives covered in cream cheese & rolled in sesame seeds or other spices & cut in half...so delicious!)
fun to play with too!
The Apple Monsters
(apples, slivered almonds, & capers [we used peppercorns])
Beef Stew
(You'll have to get the recipe from my mom!)


And last, the yummy pumpkin cake! Happy Halloween!!

{halloween night}

The hubs and I decided to throw a costume party for Halloween this year. We weren't going to, with both of us being crazy busy, but the thought of seeing our friends & neighbors dressed up was too enticing, so we quickly made some invitations and started stocking up on synthetic spider webs!
The night was a success! Here is just a sampling of the fun that was had!
Axl Rose & Courtney Love - Baseball Player couple- Dog the Bounty Hunter & wife Beth (winners of funniest costume)
Napoleon Dynamite & Pocahontas - Disco Zak & Bobby Soxer - Lt. Dangle from Reno 911(winner of scariest costume) & Jail Bird
Zombie (also winner of scariest costume) - Road Sign Couple (winner of most original) - Cowboy Jim

We had so much fun! Thanks to everyone who came! I hope you all had a great Halloween too!
