The Tricks and treats of Halloween Family Style

First the costumes were picked. Originally I wanted to make Adelin a cat. Then she told me she wanted to be a witch. The witch laugh convinced me. Everett wore the monkey costume I bought for Mason when he was a baby. Mason was supposed to be a Policeman but he decided he would rather like to be a soldier. About a month ago he got this silly notion that he was going to be Hon Solo from Star Wars but that soon changed to a clone trooper. After much debating Mason declared he wanted most definitely to be a Clone Trooper. That was on Monday. His reasoning? He says he is a Policeman and a soldier everyday.

Halloween Day is so packed I find myself scrambling to get dinner on the table, costumes donned and out the door.  This year I decided to move our Mystery Dinner to all Hallows Eve. It gave us time to really enjoy the holiday festivities without the rush. Our menu consisted of Apple Orchard Punch, Hearty Chili, Salad and finger shaped bread sticks.

After dinner we enjoyed Candy Corn Sugar Cookies we made from one of our favorite sugar cookie recipes, while we carved our pumpkins and listened to our favorite Halloween CD Halloween Howls .

Halloween morning we dinned on pancake pumkins, ghosts and witch hats. For dinner we ate Chicken and broccoli stuffed bread pumpkins.
