before it’s too late

Here are my boys all dressed up Halloween night.

fire and frankenstein

We had a camp-fire, Frankenstein,

turtle heading out

and a little turtle.

the one who gave out the candy

  The turtle passed out the candy. Very cute.

On a side note– I have discovered my new favorite food– pumpkin cheesecake.  Part of the insides of our jack-o-lanterns go toward a pumpkin pie or two every year, but this year I got a little crazy and made pumpkin cheesecake with this simple recipe.  I would post a picture of it, but it’s all gone.  It was that good.  I think we have officially replaced pumpkin pie in our household.  Even though I have a freezer full of pumpkin puree, I can’t let myself make another until Thanksgiving…

(Oh, and I must say that, regretfully, we do not have a single picture of the girl ninja.  She was very stealthy and all of her sneaky jumping ninja moves kept her out of the sights of the camera.  She was dressed all in black.  Can you imagine it?)

Happy Halloween!

shriveled, but all still glowing

the mama and the baby inside

We carved our pumpkin family on Wednesday, but they didn’t like the 70 degree weather too well.  Even though they shriveled, they still glowed last night.

 The kids insisted mine have a baby jack-o-lattern inside.
