Our Halloween Fun

This week was so much fun at our house. There are about 100 pictures in this post. I promised my parents I would take LOTS of pictures....here is what we did this week...

I LOVE cooking this time of year, and Isabella absolutely loves to cook with me. When Eva goes down for her nap, we find ourself baking up something. Tuesday Isabella and I whipped up some Pumpkin Caramel Bars and delivered them to some friends and to Grandma and Grandpa. She had so much fun delivering these little baked goodies. I put this recipe on my food blog...you have to try these!

Tuesday was the ward carnival, the girls were so excited to get all dressed up. Oh wait, let me reword that. Isabella was so excited to get dressed up, Eva on the other hand kept giving me this ridiculous look like, "Really you want me to wear this..." I got no smiles from her for pictures....it was actually quite funny!



We watched ALOT of fun Halloween movies. Thank goodnes for rainy days and really chilly weather. We had fun watching Hocus Pocus over and over! I still don't understand how that movie doesn't terrify the girls. But, they LOVE it!
Thursday we did some baking and getting ready for our Scared Shrekless Party. We made some Shrek candy popcorn...

Our ugly Shrek popcorn.....it was delish!



For our party we invited Grandma and Grandpa over for dinner, then carved pumpkins.....



then watched Shrek and ate our green popcorn....Isabella was so excited to watch Scared Shrekless, it was pretty cute!


Friday Isabella had her Preschool Halloween carnival, I wish I would have gotten some pictures...
We roasted our pumpkin seeks....

Did some Halloween Art.....

and then headed to Qwest for their Halloween Carnival.....the girls racked in a CRAZY amount of candy, I almost hesitated to let them go trick or treating Saturday....but, how can you not go trick or treating?

Visiting Great Grandpa Winn and Pat....

Halloween was a success this year.....much better than last year, since last year was spent in the E.R.!!! Isabella made up for last year, this year!
Now BRING ON THE HOLIDAYS, wahoo!! I
saw the preview for Merry Madagascar on TV tonight, I got a little giddy!
