Pumpkin Calzone

Is that how you spell it?  


Well, anyway, I wanted to do something "festive" for All Halloween's Eve, found a snake calzone recipe on Allrecipes, but the thought of cutting open a snake and eating it?  Nuh-uh.  Too close to reality with Daddy's old (reoccurring hobby), so I decided to make a pumpkin.  And I used store bought pizza crust!!

Before the oven
I used the red/yellow food coloring ratio mix to make orange,  and added that to the egg wash to color the dough.  Used straight up black food coloring, and a toothpick to "paint" the pumpkin's face.  Yes, my poor kids got red and yellow dye tonight.  They did go a little crazy after dinner.  Hmm!

All nice and browned
 (That's not grease on the lower right side, it's the food colored egg wash)

After the knife

Logan thought it was so-so.  I'm thinking he didn't care for the Ricotta cheese.
He agreed--"I don't like the colorado cheese"  

Recycling Costumes

I have a feeling that poor OT is going to be forever in his big bro's hand-me-downs.  Or let me rephrase that... OT is going to be forever in his big bro's hand-me-downs!!! 

 Logan wore this costume 3 Halloween's ago I think

5T to...

18-24 months!!
 (poor sleketon's legs got CHOPPED!!!)

Elbows got chopped too!

He should be glad--I almost used this as his shirt!!

Have a great Halloween!!!

Halloween Skirt for the girl

Happy almost Halloween!!!!

I haven't been doing much lately; as most of you who know, or those of you who even care, I've been sick.  Thought it was mono (EBV) again, but not so!!!  Thank our good, great Lord!!  I do know that I will NEVER, EVER, EVER, get another steroid shot for anything.  I haven't been the same since.  Or, my immune system hasn't been the same since.

So, anywho...  in my up-times these past few days, I did do a few things.  Last Halloween, we found  Allie the cutest little Halloween shirt--probably from Walmart or Kohls, and I just couldn't get rid of it.   So, I saved it knowing I would do something with it this year.

Isn't he just the cutest lil' cat!!  I couldn't toss it!

The shirt as a whole.    I cut him out, added some orange floss on his ears, and an "A" on his little heart for Allie of course!  Then I just stitched him onto an old purple work out shirt of Kris's, using green floss, and then stitched it all onto the new white Walmart shirt with orange floss.  I pinking sheared my way around him after I got him all stitched on.  Added a couple of buttons to keep her cuff up. I was rather pleased.
