Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween! Addie dressed up as Tinkerbell. I was Peter Pan. (I got called Robin Hood a lot. But the funniest was when someone called me the Jolly Green Giant! HA!) Kyler was the star, though. He was Sonic the Hedgehog. My mom made the costume. It was amazing, I thought! (I helped just a little.) At the Cache Valley Mall, he won Best Overall Costume in his age group. He won Disney on Ice tickets! Fun! We had a great time trick or treating, too.

A Fall Walk up Green Canyon











I love fall. It is REALLY hard for me to say goodbye to summer.
But, when the fall colors come out, it's ok. This walk was on a
beautiful Sunday afternoon.

A SPOOKY Halloween dinner


Halloween is a fun holiday. To celebrate, I decided to cook a fun (and very simple) Halloween dinner. We had Mummies (crescent rolls and cheese wrapped around a hot dog) and Brains (a head of cauliflower with cheese sauce). Yes, that's cheese sauce. It looks disgusting, doesn't it? I tried making the sauce from scratch and ended up burning it and it went an ugly brownish-yellow color. I thought, "Oh, that's alright. It adds to the Halloween effect." (If anyone has a good cheese sauce from scratch recipe, send it my way. Mine always ends up flour-y. I don't really like Velveeta, but it would be yummy compared to this!) Anyway, the cheese sauce didn't taste good at all. Kyler's face says it all. And I'm not a big fan of hot dogs, but I did it for the kids. It was fun.
