Boo!

Happy Halloween Eve! Wowza, two posts in one week, I'm on fire! Thursday afternoon means we're snuggling in closer to Friday, and that means I'm loaded with anticipation and generally pretty blissful. No big plans on the menu, just regular odds and bits of fun and joy.

Tony's family brings these to us, they call them limas. They look like a cross between a lemon and a lime and these two eat them like candy. Sometimes my kids have this much fun with them:



Today was Eva's Halloween party day at her school and I it just happened to be my day to help out at the school, so I was able to get a few cute pictures. Look at her with the other Snow White, aren't they sweet?



I made pumpkin muffins because it was also my day to bring snack. The schedule for my assigned snack said "pumpkin muffins, make at home."
I had to buy the canned pumpkin, but I had everything else on hand and it was super easy. Here is the recipe I used, all I did was cut the ginger in half, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup and make bigger muffins, two batches gave me forty [nearly] full size muffins. They were actually quite good, very pumpkin-y! They would surely be a good Thanksgiving snack too.

I hope your Halloween and your weekend is spooky and wonderful, in that order! They say we may have rain, I say fine with me bring that rain...not so happy for the trick or treaters though. Depending on which way you look at it, my life can be sweet or spooky [or both together!] any old day of the year, just obviously and especially so tomorrow. Happy Birthday to me and you go have fun being spooked!
