Raking leaves

Zack and Hailey came over last Sunday to help us rake all of the fallen leaves in our yard.  They worked really hard (especially Zack - he was hoping for a big payout!) and we filled about a dozen big garbage bags.  Even though it was a chore, we still had a good time.  We took a turkey sandwich lunch break, and then went for a walk in the neighborhood.  When we got back, we played Uno & some other games for a while, had some yummy pizza for dinner and then called it a night!



It's a Marilyn Monroe witch!

This is Seanee's pumpkin.  She carved a Marilyn Monroe witch!  It's such a cool idea, and it turned out so fantastic!!!

Vampire Martini


Halloween Recipe for Vampire Martini

Everyone loves a martini (especially one that includes champagne!) and vampires are so hot right now that we wanted to combine the two in one delicious vampire martini recipe.
 Redcandy_cocktailrimmer_1
One of the more popular Halloween martinis, here's what you'll need for the Vampire Kiss Martini:
1 part Champagne
1 part vodka, chilled
1 part Chambord
Put wax teeth in the martini glass. Pour in the vodka, top it with champagne, then pour a little of the Chambord over the back of a spoon to make it float. Garnish the rim with candy corn or blood orange slices for a creepy Halloween effect.
Follow these instructions to create the blood red effect on the martini glass!
Enjoy Planning.

The Fall-tini

This is a hot new drink for warming up on cold wintry nights.  Sounds like something I'd enjoy much better than hot apple cider in front of the fireplace!  How can you go wrong with pomegranate & pineapple??  Yum.

Getting ready for Halloween...

Yay, Halloween is on a Saturday this year!  I'm happy for all of the mamas out there who won't have to be rushing around getting costumes ready on a school day.  I hope it won't be too cold for the cute little trick-or-treaters  ~  if they have to wear coats, we can't see their costumes!!

SICK, but no SWINE

The bad news is that hubby and I have been sick all week with the flu.
The good news is that it's not the H1N1 virus!
