Hallow'eeeeen

(Yes I'm a little late posting this...but at least I'm doing it)

We had a small Halloween party with friends this year and it was so much fun! Here are some of the costumes..Yep, that's me and Daniel as Lumber Jacks.

And this is Chris and Krista as a cat and a mouse, check out Krista's eyes...

CREEPY, huh?

Here is the best costume of all...As you can imagine, that didn't stay on him for very long! (Although I think a lot of the reason is because Daniel was so embarrassed for him!)

Any-hoo...we also made lots of Halloween inspired food, here is a pic of my "devil(ed) eyes"

and Krista's "witches brew"

And here is a pic of the "snake" that Stacy made
We all had LOADS of fun and I hope this is something we will continue to do!

Mouth-watering!

So I roasted pumpkin seeds for my very first time and they are SO GOOD! I've been patting myself on the back for how scrumptious they are!

Here's how I made them...

I let the seeds sit out overnight on the cookie sheet to dry and I though "hey, I should put some seasoning on them now and let them sit and soak it up!" (Best idea ever!)

The next day I melted 4 tablespoons of butter and mixed in the seasoning (I used Devarels (sp?) and garlic powder, but you can use whatever you fancy!) then I poured the butter and seasoning over the seeds, covered the bowl and shook it like crazy to cover every last seed. Pre-heat the oven to 300 F and bake for 45 minutes (or until golden brown) stirring occasionally! I hope you all enjoy as much as I (and Trish) did!!!

Gearing up...

For Halloween!!! Last night me and Daniel carved our pumpkins (even though I am feeling like crap...I didn't want to put it off another day!)

This year I decided that I wanted to try and roast the seeds...I'll have to let you know how they turn out! BTW, my husband nearly throws up every time he sticks his hand in the pumpkin...seriously he gags every time! He can't stand the texture or the smell, so I have to do all the DIRTY work! But I don't mind at least he's willing to carve pumpkins and spend time with his wifey-poo!

And here is the final product..His is on the left (the goofy one) and mine is on the right! Uber fun! I love this holiday, I just can't bring myself to decorate my house too much...I think I'll save that for when we have babies! (don't get any ideas...it will be at least 4 years til that happens!)
