This year instead of doing the whole Halloween thing, the kids and I started a new tradition-- Fall Baking Day. We made Ma's sugar cookies and then decorated them together. I'd planned on giving some away to the neighbors, but we sampled a few too many... they're just too irresistible.
We had a great time together, practicing some Home Ec skills and I've learned that when you resolve in your head that "there will be a MESS", the whole process and clean up afterwards isn't so bad. And the fun they had helps too.
Here's a *few* pictures of our day. Notice Nathaniel's eyes in one photo-- he couldn't stop blinking when I took the picture, so finally I told him "keep your eyes open!!!" and he gave me that. Also, on two separate occasions, we set a timer without actually putting cookies in the oven... whoops. We had a good laugh about that. :)
