some ideas for Halloween

its Halloween week!
we visited the Pumpkin Patch this weekend, and Berkeley was less than amused by the whole experience!

i am getting so close to finishing our costumes for this year, and since my time is limited, i’ve got to go work on them while Baby B is napping.  but first, i just thought i’d pop in real quick to give you a few Halloween recipes and ideas.   these are from the archives, but in case you haven’t seen them yet, i thought i would share again.

Caramel Apples:
we are making some of these this week!  along with a pumpkin cheesecake, per the Boy’s request, that i haven’t attempted before, but if it works, i’ll share the deets with you later.  but let me just tell you….these apples are one of my favorite treats, take very little time or ingredients to make, and look pretty darn festive too!

 

Halloween Cake Pops:
these are a fun project to do with the kiddos, cause you can let them draw on the faces.

Costume Inspiration:
lots of ideas from over the years in this post.

 Alternative to Pumpkin Carving:
we do this every year now.  its so much better than the mess of carving, and i can take off the faces and keep the pumpkins as decor after Halloween too!

 have a great week!
