Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween fellow bloggers! We pretty much had a blast over here on Halloween. For starters, this is what I made for dinner:

Get it? They're hot dog mummies! They're supposed to have little mustard eyes on them for the face, but Joseph pointed out that some people don't like mustard (and by "some people" he meant himself) so he suggested that we just imagine the mummies have eyes. We also had loaded nachos. A simple dinner, mostly just to tide us over for the big trick-or-treating event!

This was Jake's first time trick-or-treating, and surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) he loved it! He caught on to the concept pretty quickly, once he saw that people were handing out free candy. He went trick-or-treating with his best buds Spencer, Noah, and Ethan. It looked like these kids just stepped off Noah's Ark. We have (starting from left to right) Ethan dressed as a tiger, Jake as a lion, Noah as a giraffe, and Spencer as a frog. I painted a nose and whiskers on Jake's face, but as soon as he saw them he tried to wipe it off. So instead of a nose and whiskers, it just looked like he had a dirty face.

Of course, before we left the boys had to have their chance to make a mess together in Jake's bedroom.

Jake the Lion trick-or-treating for the first time!

What a face!! They don't make 'em much cuter.

Like I said, we had a blast over here. The kids were so hyper on their sugar high, and we parents may have had a bit too much sugar ourselves! All in the name of Halloween, though!

Glad you had fun on your trip, and that you're back

I made the mummy dogs last week too. They were cute with the mustard faces, maybe Joseph could make his face out of ketchup next time :)

Jake looks so cute as a lion. Isabella was playing with a boy Jake's age the other day and she kept calling him Jakers when his name was Logan-not even close. The hot dogs mummies looked yummy, too. We'll see you guys soon!

Those are some fierce looking animals! My favorite is the lion! Glad your back safe and sound. My guess is Joesph either got super skinny or fat while you were away. We're counting down til Turkey Day!
