halloween hangover

it's me. i know i've been neglecting y'all lately, so i'm sorry.

but we've been busy. so, does that excuse count?

geez. we've done the pumpkin patch, neighborhood parties, costume making, a costume parade & contest, pumpkin photos, a visit from mama c., a stomach bug, and some other sort of horrid cough/cold/carson had 103.6 degree fever bug, an african safari and even snuck in a quick family getaway...all since i've been gone.

whew. that was exhausting.

i've got some blogging time coming up real soon...i hope. so maybe i can catch up then?

the costumes have all been washed and stashed in the dress up trunk, and we've already decided what we're going to be next year. leave it to emma to have it all planned out. i couldn't even begin to imagine who she got that from.

i'll be back soon with a recipe to die for. they're pumpkin bars. oh my goodness. they are the best.

i've got more recipes to share...if only someone could invent instant blog. thoughts straight from your brain to the web. that would be genius, wouldn't it?

until then, meet ariel & sebastian. they were the cutest little mermaid and crab i've ever seen. it was a happy halloween for us, and i hope the same was true for you too.

and yes, aunt marg. i really made their costumes. i really did.

if you want proof, look really close. they are far from perfect.

i'm off to bake with the sweetest little girl ever :)

hugs y'all!
