Fall Festival

Did someone mention a fall festival?  Well of course we are going to be there.  By now you know fall is our favorite time of year.  Well,  besides Christmas of course.  We had our first fall festival to attend today and it was loads of fun.  All the hype leading up to it was just as exciting as the festival itself.  We had to get our costumes lined out, treats picked out to make, making the treats and finally getting ready for the big shin dig. This shin dig just so happens to be for my kiddos school.  So it's all about them.  I wanted to make the perfect little treats for them to take for their friends.   I'm always on the lookout for cute things to bake or make for the kids school or for our treats at home and a friend of mine made the cutest little ghost cookies ever and posted them on her blog so I thought I'd give them a try and let them be our treats for the festival.  They are super easy and so cute I thought I'd share them with you as well.





So this is pretty self explainatory but here are the instructions just in case. 
1. Melt your almond bark
2. Roll your cookie in almond bark
3. Place two chocolate chips for the eyes
4. Place on wax paper to dry
We packaged the cookies in little individual packages after they set and added gift tags to add a special touch.

Now that we have the perfect treats it's time to start getting ready for the party.  Drew went fishing with G-Pa and we didn't have a costume for Braden but Emma and Emerson both wore their Halloween costumes.  Emma was so excited to finally get to wear makeup and fix her hair.  It's been weeks since we've done a pageant and she's chomping at the bit to do one.   Here are a few pictures we snapped as we were getting ready.

Getting Ready

It's a most that she lay in my lap as I do her eye liner.




Wish her hair was this thick naturally!

Home Sweet Home






The day was a success.  Everyone had a great time.  Little Treasure's put on one great Fall Festival for all the kidos.  If T is going to have a party it's going to be done right.  Emerson's favorite was the pumkin bozo game.  When we got home he decided that he would throw all my little pumkins like balls.  Oh the joys have a boy.  The kids were worn out from all the funa and they crashed.  While they slept I edited pics and made Jeff and I a little snack.  Here's the recipe.  Thanks for checking in with us!
