Arggghhh!


Halloween was so much fun this year!! Who would have guessed how much fun it is to dress up your little baby! Zoe was a Pirate for Halloween! Cory and I really enjoyed dressing her up and taking pictures. I thought for sure the hat would drive her crazy. But as soon as Cory handed her the sword she stuck it right in her little mouth and was happy to just chew on the sword. For Halloween we mostly just stayed in and enjoyed an evening together. Cory got off work early so we could enjoy the night.



My sister Heather and I had decided to do a fun little Halloween dinner and dessert thing. She made chili and cornbread and I made doughnuts! Let me just tell you that making doughnuts is WAYYYY harder than I thought it would be!!! I didn't get any pictures I didn't think about it..but man those "treats" sure turned out UGLY! They tasted ok but they were soooo greasy and just not pretty. I had a hard time keeping the oil at a constant temperature and my sister tells me that according to Alton Brown that is why my doughnuts were so greasy. So maybe I'll try again next Halloween.

We hope everyone had a great time..and hope nobody (or their kids) came home with cavaties!

Here are a couple of cute pics of Zoe..I finally got a good shot of her teeth. And the other is her drinking water form a big girl cup. She LOVES drinking water from the cup..don't mind all the baby food mess everywhere. She also LOVES spitting her food out!
