A.M.

I thought it would be nice to have school off today, and not deal with the craziness of everything for Halloween ALL IN ONE DAY, but maybe I was wrong. First of all-since it is a Holiday, the kids expect mucho excitement, but it is hard to find entertainment that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, of which we haven't already done! So we started off our day (after my LATE morning run of course), with a request from Ame. She wanted a Halloween Breakfast! Well since Mom didn't really plan ahead for that one, I had to pull some tricks out of my hat (or the pantry). Luckily things always seem more appealing with food coloring and cookie cutters. So we had pumpin spiced & shaped french toast, cranberry/orange muffins (which I happen to have a mix of in the pantry), and witches brew (green colored apple juice). The kids were pleasantly suprised and happily filled! We have watched movies, played games, had a picnic & LONG playtime in the park and now are just waiting...for the anti-climatic (for me anyway) part of the whole day...Trick-OR-Treating!

But I am sure it will be ultra fun for the kids, and we will have lots of candy, pictures and memories... to remember this Halloween night!!
