We had a wonderful Halloween and now we all have mouths full of cavities and I go into a Reese's coma on the daily. Well, the cavities part isn't true, but the Reese's coma is nothing but facts.
Sunday morning the kids gave me - ok, I took most of their Reese's and I sat and ate them while I drank a Coke and a little bit later I was definitely regretting that breakfast choice. Sugar overload. I won't do that again...until I find some more Reese's.
Back in the summer, I told the RCC Gang that we were not going to buy store bought costumes this year. Twenty-five to thirty dollars a piece X5 for some janky costume that comes unsewn? Yeah, we ain't doin' that.
Pinterest was a huge help at helping us come up with ideas. I only had to buy a few things for each kid, and they were something a little more original than Elsa and Spider-Man. (No offense if you had those, I had an Elsa last year)
Our lineup included a deer, a lumberjack, a rodeo clown, a bank robber and Foxy Roxie (a fox).
We went to Goodwill to find suspenders for the boys and we happened to find some very large jeans for Cash's clown costume. I had him try them on for my own entertainment and as soon as he opened the dressing room door, we all busted out laughing. These jeans would fit a grown man, but they were Cash's length!!! Who wore these jeans?!
We also decided to paint our pumpkins this year instead of carving them. I think they turned out great! Still just as messy, but a lot more colorful!
After a day full of fifty cent corn dogs, pumpkin painting and trick-or-treating, we had Feet Loaf (foot-shaped meatloaf) at Nanna & Poppa's the next day for Sunday dinner. It was SO good.
Nanna did real good at making a Goodbye Halloween dinner. Her meatloaf is always the bomb and the foot didn't disappoint. Everybody wanted a toe. These kids ain't right!
So, after three days of candy all day, everything in our house is sticky. Thanks, Roxie.
I was given a bread machine over the weekend and made my first loaf of homemade bread yesterday!
Caleb LOVED the bread and has already asked me to make another loaf this morning.
I'm twelve and a half weeks pregnant now, RCC #6 is the size of a lime.
I'm getting my energy back and I'm so glad too because this time of year makes me want to decorate, cook and craft everyday!
Time to make some more bread!
Happy Tuesday!
XO, Jenn
