Cookies & Candy!

Somehow it is already the third week in November, and I am just now posting our Halloween pics! I'm not sure how that happened! This year we bought a really cool Halloween cook book called: "Ghoulish Goodies" by Sharon Bowers. It is awesome & is now one of my favorite cook books!! Everything we've tried from this book has turned out great - and Scooter was able to help me make a lot of it! Here he is helping me with the bones!!
Swamp Creature Toes
Eyeballs
This cook book is seriously amazing! We had a blast making these things - Scooter helped with the toes & eyeballs too.
We had our annual sugar cookie night at my moms the night before Halloween - and as usual, it was way fun! I thought the sunshine & snowman (made by Erica) were so cute!
Decorating cookies!

A small, musical intermission!
I love these smiles!!
On Halloween we went trick or treating with Lins, Glendon & Mauri. We were so glad that the weather was good! It wasn't as warm as last year, but we were grateful it wasn't snowing or freezing cold!
Scooter is checking out Nana's candy!
Scooter & Mauri helping daddy! (He was sitting on the porch for a while to give the trick or treaters candy because Zoe would bark like crazy at them when they knocked on the door!!)
Ready to go trick or treating! Scooter really liked trick or treating - and he told the people thank you, and a few even got a "happy Halloween!" The next day he told me he wanted to do it again!

We love Halloween!
Mauri laying on the grass - if I remember right she was pretending to be dead & then she popped up and said "Boo!" She is so funny & definitely cracks us up... just like her Mama!!
We carved our pumpkin on Halloween too - and Scooter liked it a lot when we put the candle in! The next day we toasted pumpkin seeds (the recipe was in our awesome Halloween cook book!!) - and I've never actually had homemade pumpkin seeds turn out very good - but these were really tasty!!
