Happy Halloween!!

I cannot believe it is Halloween!! This year has flown by! Maybe because it's actually been such a good year...time flies when you're havin' fun! Meanwhile in Lee and Megan land.. we have been delaying our pumpkin carving for quite some time. We spent an entire funfilled day at Sinkland farms and I absolutely couldn't wait to carve our pumpkin! We wanted to wait a little closer to Halloween so it wouldn't rot. I even bought "It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown" ( i love it and watch it every year) to accompany us to our pumpkin carving. Halloween seemed to sneak up on us. It's not like we didn't have tons of reminders..I practically decorated the apt to look like a haunted house! haha! BUT for some reason...we put off the pumpkin carving each day..and last nite we realized..we HAVE to do it tonite..we have to light up our pumpkin at least one night and display it in our window. Unfortunately I had a huge exam last nite and I knew I wouldnt be home until around 9 or so..THEN i remembered that I had to run over to the new apartment to grab the mixer. I had to make Halloween cookies for work the next day (today!) So I ran over there with the intentions of quickly grabbing my mixer and running home! Well..I never expected Hope to be home! So of course we sat and talked for a while..a long while! When I finally got home it was late and I still had to make cookies, carve the pumpkin and watch the office! ahhhh! it's all so overwhelming! haha! Well, we watched The Office. Then Lee decided maybe it would be a good idea for him to carve the pumpkin while I made the cookies! I was kinda bummed but it was my fault for putting it off so I agreed.
Well folks, Neither of us were successful in our attempts. This is a picture of Lee With great intentions of carving a fabulous pumpkin:


This would be Lee being "scary" and hacking into our precious pumpkin:


And THIS would be Lee's attempt to carve the pumpkin:


Poor Lee. He had a lot of trouble with this. He decided to forget about the design and carve his own product. I decided not to post a picture of this..you wouldn't want to see it anyway! :)

Meanwhile..I'm in the kitchen measuring out perfect proportions of ingredients to make the best Halloween cookies ever. I followed the directions EXACTLY. Here's what they look like:


OK OK..that's what they were supposed to look like.... here's what mine looked like..get ready:


Wow.. I mean..at least they look scary..scary enough that probably not a lot of people will eat them! UGH! Oh well...what is Halloween all about really? It's about spending time with the ones you love right?



Nope! Who am I kidding?..it's about eating Candy and partying until you puke! Hopefully sans the puking! Hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!!
