Treats!

Our neighborhood is doing a progressive Halloween party. We are a "treat house" so we are making some fun treats to share with our neighbors. I am doing a trial run today and these treats are SO easy to make and are turning out really cute! Thank you, Southern Living magazine (from a couple of years ago)! See, now I can show Hunter why I save all my "crafty" magazines! ; )

They are Little Debbie Marshmallow Pies on a stick and then we decorated them with icing and sprinkles. We are going to chill them and then cover them in clear plastic lollipop bags with a cute ribbon or tie.



Costume & Pumpkin Patch Day at Preschool

Today was costume and pumpkin patch day at Eli's preschool. Eli was so excited....so excited that he forgot his backpack today! It was ok though....I was able to take it to him when I went to see him at the pumpkin patch. It was so cute seeing all the kids in their costumes. The teachers at his school have done a wonderful job of teaching the kids about why we wear non-scary costumes. And any special snacks, clothes, etc. should only have things that God made (i.e. pumpkins, spiders). No ghosts, witches, etc. I like that!! : )
