Trick or Treat with Ashley.

16 years ago

Here it is again, Halloween. I made bones and eyeballs:

The bones were shortbread cookies filled with grape jam to look like "bone marrow". They were cut in the shape of bones, filled and dunked in white chocolate. The eyeballs were peanut butter balls, dipped in white chocolate with M&M pupils and squiggly red decorator icing "blood shot" veins.

Makayla, my little Monkey Princess, came as Tinkerbell.

Bud was the Cowardly Lion. I tried to get him to sing "I am the King of the Forest" but right now his favorite song is Old MacDonald, he likes the part that goes "E I E I DOH". He sounds more like Homer Simpson than a lion, but whatever. When he left he had changed his mind again and was just saying "Meow".

Ashley is still a kid, you know, and had to get in on the free candy. Ahem. She was a nurse and her friend Kaitlin was a Playboy Bunny. I thought that was no longer politically correct but what the heck, it's Halloween!

Next year maybe I'll wear the nurse costume, LOL.

So so cute!

Makayla is after my own heart. I played Tinkerbell in a local production of "Peter Pan". I wasn't nearly as cute as Makayla though...I was a lazer light.

We live on a long, dark dirt road and have never really had trick or treaters except the neighbors' kids. I was home alone last night and super nostalgic for the days we used to take our kids out. My mom would have a small party and we'd take the kids around her neighborhood where we know a lot of the people from my sister's restaurant. Our kids aren't big candy eaters, but we always had fun with everyone dressing up. (and maybe a red cup). I resorted to stalking facebook and texting my friends for photos of their kids and grands. I just found out the Health Center I work at sponsors a table at a Trunk or Treat event. I will be volunteering next year for sure. It's a great option here where neighborhoods are far apart and many homes are seasonal.

I see that also. our neighborhood posted a map for those that were giving out candy. Parents are leading and directing the children. To much traffic and people just not wanting to partiapate. I had 2 friends go to dinner so they didn't have to deal with it. .

Carol, I agree, you're never too old for free candy, LOL.

Ashley says she HAS to be a nurse because all those guys are just sick. (grin)

Oh Annie they all look like they're enjoying themselves!
Bud is sure getting big....I bet he loved being a lion! Ashley grows more beautiful every day....if that's possible and little Makayla is a real sweetie.

Oh, Makayla and Bud are so big! When did that happen?! So cute, too! I like that Bud decided the lion would say "meow." He and I could hang.

Amanda, you can hang with bud any time, he's much more of a "Meow" kind of lion than he is a "Grrrr" kind of a lion. :-)

I still say he needs a bow.

"But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion, not a mow-ess,
If I only had the nerve.
I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandy-lion Â "

Yup, that's my Bud, the lion that says "meow". (grin)
