Halloween Preparations

The weather is starting to feel fallish and today we started prepping the house for Halloween. So far it's just two pumpkins sitting on the front porch, but it's a start. The pumpkins have a lot of character and I paid a price that I was more than comfortable with, leaving me with budget to continue decorating. I found some lovely gourds at Smart 'N Final, but I haven't found a home for them yet. We still have to place things well out of reach of little hands.

Rosanne has been wanting to make Halloween cupcakes that she saw in a magazine. They are cute - decorated with candy to look like spiders and filled with chunks of candy bar. She began them tonight, which is a good thing because we've already eaten a bag of Snickers, a bag of peanut M&Ms and a bag of marshmallows, all of which were to go into the cupcakes. She hopes to let the kids help her decorate them, but we'll see. I used to have the same good intentions, but it's really just too hard to keep them focused. Maybe we can do them together.
