Last week these guys spent more time in costumes than regular clothes. They dressed up for a school party, a fun evening at the cousin's and of course trick or treating. We continued the tradition and went with Bob, Katie, Ryan and Emmalee. As the kids get bigger they cover more territory! Carson was a penguin and Wyatt was a ninja. They mostly put together their own costumes this year. Trevor has been a kitty for the last 3 weeks but did wear the dog costume for trick or treating. Greg and I spent (will probably spend) quite a bit of time being kitty cats also at Trevor's insistence. I forgot how insistent (meaning bossy) 2 year olds can be. We have a whole bucket full of animal ears and tails that I sewed about 4 years ago.
Greg had a birthday. and he requested cheesecake. This photo shows Trevor waving away the smoke from the candles. Imagine if I'd really put 38 candles on!
I got creative with our food. One night we had canned chicken breast sandwiches on bagels with cheese on top--stuck under the broiler for a couple minutes. Tip: I add some Kirkland brand No-Salt Seasoning to the chicken, and mayo of course--yum! Sliced olive faces and a cucumber stem turned them into jack o' lanterns. My kids always love witch fingers (carrot sticks with olives on top). I put that in their lunches throughout the year also. I attempted to make jello worms using straws which I saw on Pinterest, but I think my straws were too narrow. The Jello did look uncannily like clots of blood. UGH--I can hardly type that. Some people refused to eat it. I also hollowed out some apples and we drank hot apple cider out of them. That was a hit!
We finally carved some punkins and roasted the seeds. Whew--fun times!
