Pre-Halloween Fun with the Neighbors

Friday, October 23, 2009

We had a very busy night here tonight. We watch our neighbors’ kids once a month so they can go out and vice versa. Well, tonight was our night to watch their boys. I decided it would be fun to make jack-o-lanterns and Halloween cookies while they were here. I was right, it was fun, but I did not anticipate how difficult it would be to do all of those things at the same time especially when we got started when Sean wasn’t home from work yet (he did make it home in the middle of carving the pumpkins) so I was trying to do all of it on my own. Whew!!!

I had already made the cookie dough. So all I had to do when the boys first arrived was roll it out.

Did I also mention that they squeezed in some time for video games?
