Whose great idea was it...

Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween.
Some people just can't handle it. Like certain small people.

What do you mean I've had too much candy?

Halloween candy and numerous sleepovers just don't mix.
My children turned into hysterical sugar driven beasts.
That pic above is much too cute. It was more like this:


Much drama ensued. I had to take a little breather and drive around the neighborhood ALONE last night. Didn't have enough gas to make it to Mexico ;).

Children and goats

My children don't just get my goat. They try for the whole damned herd.

Halloween Themed Birthday

You may remember that my youngest daughter has been having Halloween themed birthday parties the last few years.


This year's bash. OOPS! I don't have any pics of
the birthday girl on my cell phone!

Last year I made Vampire Cupcakes. They turned out really good.
Here is a pic from Baking Bites. Mine weren't quite as pretty but were very tasty!


I meant to make them again this year but didn't have enough time. I did make a 6'5" mummy!
The legs are a little spindly. I need to pad them up a bit! Excuse the mummy making mess. I propped it on chairs to wrestle restrain wrap it. In front of our sliding doors. With the lights on. I am sure it looked quite nefarious! "Um, what is our crazy neighbor doing now?".

Origami Lotus

My daughter and I picked out a special birthday present for her friend. They have been friends for years, I think they were 6 and 7 when they met. This friend loves origami so we got her a fabric origami lotus from Butterfly Eyes. The fabric is stiffened so the folds will stay in place. These pictures do not do it justice, it is seriously gorgeous!
