This Little Light of Mine

Apple Harvest

I have this thing about going to the mountains every Fall to pick apples.  Quite honestly, it is never a convenient time (when is it ever?), but it's just this experience we have to have each year.  And from my neck of the woods, it is a five hour drive.  But in the end, it's always so worth it.  Unfortunately, this year, Mother Nature had other plans.  Due to a storm and whatnot, there were no apples to pick, but we still had fun at the apple house. 

Some words of advice--do not let your kiddos drink homemade apple cider unless you plan to be very near a bathroom.  Just sayin'....I will not go into any detail here.  You have been warned.

Farmhouse Apple Pie...yum!

Spooky Fun

Bat cupcakes made with Peppermint Patties (cut in half for wings), M & Ms, and Andes Mints (cut like triangles for the ears).  Thanks Betty Crocker!

So, yeah, I know I"m not a fan of the video games, but what a Mama does for her little one....He was dead set on being Luigi, and a friend of mine found this adult Mario suit (with a blow up belly I didn't need since I'm 7 months pregnant).  I couldn't resist.  It made Sawyer's day.

Henry's like "what the heck is going on?"  He wouldn't dress up last year and this year, he was in the zone.  He ran up and down the streets with such intensity and asked the next day if we could go do it again!

Good old fashioned apple bobbing, hay rides and door to door trick or treating-that's what I want to see at Halloween..... 

Pumpkin cupakes made by the kiddos.  I used this as my secret ingredient.  Tasted like carrot cake.

Hoping you and your family had a wonderful, spooky Halloween!  And not too many upset tummies (Mama needs to stay away from the stash)!
