HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAISTLYN

AAARGH! Pirates

Ahoy Matey! Finally found some time to post a few pictures from Halloween. The kids were all dressed as pirates as you can see. I made treasure map trick-or-treat bags for Raistlyn & Caiden - Rowan had a really mean looking pirate skull to carry around. They all had so much fun. Of course, any time the night revolves around candy my kids are in SUGAR HIGH HEAVEN! The little ones really got in to trick-or-treating this year. It was a hoot watching them run from house to house with their cousins gathering their sweet loot.

Hmmmm......

Does anyone else think this is funny???
'cause I just can't stop giggling!

My inspiration

Amy Atlas is her name and she's an event planner in New York City that specializes in Dessert Tables. Looks amazing huh? Think that sort of thing would take off here in Fort Worth because I'm sure thinking of starting my own business! I'm inspired.

I think I'll make up a batch of these brownie pops too!
