Happy day after Halloween

What a weekend! We had a busy, fun-filled Halloween. It was absolutely marvelous that Keri and Justin were able to come down for the weekend. Clara was very excited to have "friends" visiting and new people to amaze with her cuteness! Here's a look at our weekend.

Clara and I decorated some delicious sugar cookies and shared them with our neighbor across the street. Man! It was tricky letting her just dump those sprinkles all over the place! But I was good and let her be creative on her own; after we had "nicely" place them in sprinkles once already!

Enjoying the yummy, finished product

We had fun playing in pumpkin guts and feasting on pumpkin seeds. I got over my shock that some punks in our nice, country neighborhood stole our pumpkin :) . She loved splatting it on the table and squishing it. Don't worry, in the second picture that's not pumpkin guts in her mouth; she was snacking on goldfish at the same time! And, don't mind our messy bookshelves! I straightened them up this afternoon :)

Wow! This stuff is so cool! And, yummy too! Just kidding!

Clara created a masterpiece of a painted pumpkin; she concentrated quite well while painting and cried like crazy when we put the paint away.

Hard at work creating her masterpiece. So pretty!

For the finale of the day, with trick-or-treating, she made the most adorable walking pumpkin we'd ever saw.

Cutest little pumpkin ever!

Swinging with mommy & daddy is way better than eating all this candy I'm getting!

And, of course plenty of down time and bonding with Auntie Keri and Uncle J, too! It was a fabulous weekend!

Our goofy little "candy corn" chilling with an apple before getting dressed. Look mom! A sucker! And I haven't even gone trick-or-treating yet! (And thanks for the cute Halloween outfit Grandma Sharon :) )

You're so silly Auntie Keri!

Wow! That was a fun weekend and a long post! Hope you enjoyed it. Check out the slideshow at the bottom of the blog for more great pics from our weekend. Check back next week for more exciting adventures from our fam!
