Halloween Fun

Despite the lack of a pumpkin patch (yes, I must mention that in every post) and the possibility of snow by Halloween, we still managed to get in some festive fall activities.

Marci and I had a Wicked party where the girls dressed up like witches and we listened to the Wicked soundtrack and made delicious caramel apples.

The cutest little naughty witch there ever was

Taking great care with the apple decorating

Marci and I racing to decorate the "gourmet" caramel apples. One had toffee bits and milk chocolate and one had Oreos and white chocolate - YUM!

We also had to carve pumpkins, of course! I was looking forward to getting to carve the pumpkins more than a day in advance here. In California you always had to wait until almost Halloween or they would get all moldy. But sadly, we did wait until almost Halloween just because we are slackers, and then we kept the pumpkin inside afterwards so it still molded. Oh well. I've heard that if you leave the jack-o-lanterns outside then the moose eat them, so maybe here, it just never ends well. :)
