Skeletons, Bats, Jack-o-lanterns, OH MY!!

The kids helped bake cookies for my parents Halloween Party. We made gingerbread men, bats and jack-o-lanterns. The smell reminded me of Christmas time. We should make gingerbread more often. It smells and tastes soooo good! We made skeletons out of the gingerbread men and bats. They turned out pretty cute and tasted even better!

Allie, Kara and Trevor loved helping. Trevor put all the ingredients in and helped stir. All three helped roll out the dough and press down on the shapes. By the time we were done the kids had flour all over themselves, the table, chair and floor. But we all had a great time. Of course I decided to finish the final product after bath time, and that is when the kiddos had flour all over the place :)

We also made mini pumpkin brownies and had those for desert. The girls love helping just as much as their brother does. It is a bit trickier with 2 two year olds in the kitchen...

On the night of my parents Halloween party I took the girls to Fred Meyer in their adorable lady bug costumes. They walked through the store holding hands chatting back and forth. It was such a cute sight! Everyone, even teenagers dressed in their homecoming attire commented on how cute they were. Allie and Kara were loving every minute of it:)
