Trick or Treat!

We had a lot of fun this year! AJ picked out his own costume and had a great time practicing his roar! He didn't like wearing the mane though. I told him he had to wear the hat to get candy. He ran to his room and came back with a baseball cap and said, NO pointing to the lion mane and smiled and said, "This hat!" and put on his baseball cap. I had to give him points for trying, but in the end I convinced him he would only get candy if he wore his mane so he did!

Griffin was a giraffe this year. I loved the idea of him being a giraffe because babies basically have no necks... I thought it was funny!

Kurt and I even got into the spirit of things. At the scout party Kurt went as Goofy, but on the 30th he went as a soldier(he had just come home from reserves).

Halloween Treats

It was AJ's turn to bring snack for Kindermusik class, so I decided to have a little fun! I made witches hats out of cookies and Hershey Kisses and broomsticks out of a pretzel rod, cheese stick and then tied it off with red licorice. They were a hit! AJ could have cared less about what they looked like, he just wanted the cheese and chocolate!

4 Wheeler

Kurt bought me a four wheeler!  We have had a lot of fun with it so far.  I have taken the kids around our subdivision, AJ says "Faster Mommy Faster!"Kurt and I went with our neighbor Duane up Ben Lomond Peak!  I am sure we will have many adventures to come!

I Can CAN!

I decided since I am now a stay at home mom, I better do a few "homemakie" things.  So I decided to can a few things.  I canned salsa and beets.  I also made freezer jam from peaches and strawberries.  I was pretty proud of my self for my first attempt!  AJ thought the papers from the freezer jars made great hats!
