Grim Grin and Ghosts come out to Socialize!!!!!

Last night the spooky souls came out for a party at the Jones' Home. First we made a dinner in a pumpkin.
Thanks to our old neighbor friend Stacy Hoyt for the amazing recipe:) It was delicious & so easy! You can find it on her blog.

Then we ventured out back for some gut wrenching pumpkin carving.

It was really spooky

We worked up quite a sweat scooping out guts (which Annie HATED!!!) so we went inside and made goulish sugar cookies (the softest you've ever had) Here's the recipe from our scrappy friend Leslie!

Sugar Cookies
4 c. flour
1 c. sour cream
1 tsp. salt
1 c. crisco
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
Mix, Chill, Roll, Cut!
Bake at 350 for 9 minutes.

Then we enjoyed our labors as we watched Hocus Pocus. Eden thought it was a little scary! Now we are officially ready for Halloween!

for comedic value :)

ok, so I know these pictures are hideous and do no justice to my preciously adorible Delia(gag reflex for thinking my kid is cute) but I couldn't resist posting this amazing moment in today's boring happenings.
So, today is mom's working day.... which means I am glued to photoshop and my kids make a ginormous(thank you webster's dictionary) mess in the play room. After they throw ALL the play food in every which direction they then move on to the dress ups. Oh joy....
Maybe you have never frequented Wal-mart on the day after halloween, but my dear mother (bless her little heart) and her love for the holiday, she went bright and early the morning after halloween. So, walmart puts everything, I mean EVERYTHING that is halloween oriented on sale for $0.25, yes for a quarter. A few halloweens ago her and Daniel went and totally scored for like $5.00! They got the world... which included this HIDEOUS! unicorn costume which is missing the tail(does not take away from the costume's fun value) My mom gave it to Eden the following Christmas, and for weeks she would not take the grubby thing off. We were too scared to wash it for fear it would ruin the stupid song it plays when you push it's ear (hello we should have washed it first thing!)
So, long story short(I mean extremely LONG) Delia brought it to me as I was working and wanted to wear it. I was reminded of its hideousness and decided to share it with the world! I hope it gave you a smile on this fabulous friday!
