Halloween Week 2009-Monday

Ok, so I haven't posted anything about Halloween, my most favorite holiday!!!
Usually my house is decorated on October 1st...this year, I have shirked my duty.
Half the month had passed before I'd even pulled the boxes out of the garage.
Anyway, I was a little behind so I decided to declare this week,
H
ALLOWEEN WEEK
at our house.
We are doing a fun Halloween centered activity each night after dinner.
So be sure to check back for spooks & tricks!!

Monday-

Tonight we made, frosted, decorated and ate Gingerbread Bats! eeeeEEk!

While Luke did dishes (his new favorite job!) the girls and I made gingerbread dough. Then we rolled them out and cut our bats. While they were cooking & cooling, we watched Ichabod Crane & The Legend of Sleepy Hallow.

Then we got out the goods...red hots, sprinkles, m&m's, resees pieces, you know the works!

Everyone got in on the fun!


Our finished products.


You can't see her fingers, but they're just as black as her mouth. That stuff doesn't come off either...so she went to school with black finger tips the next day, she didn't minded though.

When did you cut Emry's hair? Did she freak or is she excited to look more like her cousin Addi?

I couldn't help think last year you were doing the fun cookie decorating while Carley was sleeping, and this year she is right at the table with her own tray! How much changes in just a year. Looks like fun as usual with your family. :)
