Halloween Wrap Up

I know that this is a bit late, but I’m not always as on top of things as I would like to be.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  I love the crisp air, and the crunchy leaves, and the fun costumes.  I love pretending that I am someone totally different, or dressing up in something pretty and sparkly.  It makes me feel like a kid even though I have kids now.  Of course the mini snickers bars don’t hurt either.

To celebrate the joy that is fall, some pumpkins graciously offered up themselves to be carved in some not so traditional jack-o-lanterns.  We had 1 pumpkin from our very own garden, and the rest we got for free from the various great Halloween community events in our small town.

To make the whole experience complete, our church always hosts a Halloween party.  We all dress up, eat chille and trick or treat in the parking lot.  Every year there is a chille contest (which my DH won!) but this year, there was also a ghoulish desert contest.  My entry was not exactly ghoulish, but was definitely gross looking.  Behold the Kitty litter cake!  It smells like spice cake, but certainly looks like the real thing.
