This year the kids wanted to make a pie from a real pumpkin, aka Martha Stewart style. This is the lucky fellow they picked from the front porch.
And this is the little fellow after he wasn't so lucky.
Voila! Homemade pumpkin pie. The kids were less impressed with the homemade whipped cream. "Where's the hydrogenized processed stuff from the frozen foods section at the store? C'mon Mom!"
Good eating and Happy Thanksgiving!
Today was the lucky day that we took our Christmas card pictures. Robin especially looks forward to this event more than you could imagine. We were chasing the sunlight hours due to daylight savings and some clouds that rolled in unexpectedly. Here are a couple of pics that didn't make the cut.
Here are my two little gobblins. Reid went as Luke Skywalker and Emiline went as the Ice Witch from Narnia. We were making costumes until the very last minute.
After all the effort with the "icy" makeup, it was no surprise that the eyelashes didn't even make it until our friends showed up.
Every costume has to have the proper weapon.
Would someone please get this fool off our front porch?
