Halloween Preparations
























Ella participated in her first pumpkin carving. We used a kit that is a little less dangerous than using your kitchen knives. Ella helped poke holes through the template to create our craving lines. I thought she would like pulling out the seeds and slimy insides, but she did not. She did like putting the top on just right.






We also made cookies for Ella's class party. We turned fudge stripe cookies and hershey kisses into witches hats and nutterbutters and melted white chocolate into ghosts. It was easier than baking from scratch, and it allowed Ella to help. Her job was to unwrap the kisses, and not eat any. I thought she was doing a good job of it, until I caught her sneaking the kisses.
