Decorating cupcakes with these two is something no one should attempt sober. Bentley can never have the frosting quite smooth enough and Chloe can not heap enough candy onto one cupcake. It took us 30 minutes to decorate a total of four cupcakes but they were pretty proud when they were finished so I know it was a success. Bentley had four people he was giving his two cupcakes to so that should be interesting. Chloe licked both of hers so if she offers to share....say no.

Since the kids are too young to do much carving and I am quite clumsy to do any carving, I fell in love with the potato head pumpkin kits. I figured, no problems when you use a kit- what complications can I possibly have. I forgot the Chloe factor. She must envision herself as a pumpkin because she kept taking the ear from her pumpkin and sticking it in her own ear. Oh well, next year we can try it the traditional way and see if she tries to wear the pumpkin innards.
Bentley took his pumpkin very serious and wanted things positioned just right. He was so worried when the pirates earring came off of his ear. Different outlook than his sister who pulled every body part off over...and over..and over.


When I asked Chloe for a "cheese", she gave me a raspberry. Totally wrong food group all the way around.

The best aunt in the world poses with the kids and their masterpieces. The princess and the pirate will probably be splattered on the road tomorrow night but we had fun today.

Since I had the day off and I have been going through Grandchildren withdrawals, I thought it would be good to have the kids and do some "Halloweenie" things with them. We got the party started at "grandma-grandpas" (Great grandpa Mcknight) and in his usual style, he had something strange in store. With promises of candy waiting in the shed, grandpa sent Bentley and Chloe to his shed. Bentley walked right by the dude in the chair looking for the candy. Once he came back and looked at the chair, he was no longer interested in the candy. He wanted OUT! Grandpa had a walkie talkie in the pocket of his dummy and was hiding where he could see the kids and giving them instructions on where to find the candy. Even Chloe was freaked out. Crazy grandpa.

rickell tagged me and said to go to my files and choose the fourth file and post the fourth picture of that file....this happens to be Niki at her bridal shower opening her gift from her wacky sister Lindsey and friends. Niki was a little embarrassed and hid behind the maids costume. Needless to say, any cup that is big enough to hide behind is likely too big to fit so that outfit was exchanged for something more to Niki's size. Since I do not know how to tag and Rickell is the only one who reads this blog, that is the end of my tag.
