Happy Halloween

This year we carved our pumpkins on Halloween Eve. Riley picked out two beautiful big pumpkins and we cut and scraped and scraped and cut and carved and rested and carved some more. Whew! That was alot of work and for some reason I didn't take a picture of the finished masterpieces so just imagine the most elaborate, wonderful carvings ever. :)

I did manage to save and roast the seeds this year which came out pretty good but didn't seem to hold the fresh cracked sea salt very well. I think maybe a finer salt would be better.



We also made giant chewy chocolate brownies with chocolate frosting, candy corn and orange colored white chocolate drizzle for Riley to hand out to her favorite peeps on Halloween. (At some point I will discuss my crappy camera and how I hope Santa is bringing me a new one - but that is a different post all together)

This year Riley dressed up in 50's attire. Her Nama made a fantastic Poodle skirt in pink. (oh, and the dog was dressed up too.)
