EEK!

Well, Halloween is finally here, which is very exciting because our neighborhood gets an insane amount of kids. In preparation we have a TON of candy, a giant blow up globe with a zombie inside, some tarantulas on our house, bones in our planters and three jack-o-lanterns. Carving pumpkins is so fun, besides this year i don't think i've done it since i was a kid. There is something about the smell of the inside of a pumpkin (like a smell you'd never forget no matter what).

We ended up doing three classic faces, because we are slightly lazy.

I made cookies that look like severed fingers. They were pretty okay, very easy to make but i think i may have cooked them a little long, so they were dry-ish. Oh well, next year right? I got the recipe off of Shockingly Delicious.

Since Olive was feeling a little spooky, i made her a new Halloween collar out of an old collar and some ribbon. So easy and cheap, it cost me a total of $7.00, much less than you would pay in a store and i would have to say that mine looks better (shh).

First, i hot glue gunned the ribbon to the collar to hold it in place, then i sewed a straight seam along both edges to hold it better. I really like it so much, i can't wait to make her one for Christmas, such a good use out of an old, faded collar.
