Holiday home cookin'

Halloween has been a lot of fun this year. My kids go crazy when they see halloween decorations on people's lawns, and OH they love the candy. This past week I have had a lot of fun making Halloween Dinners. Here's a sampling :)

1. Ghostly Shepherd's Pie. I think these ghosts are SO CUTE! They would have been even cuter if the mashed potatoes were a little more mashy, but whatever. Miriam also made ghost cupcakes for dessert for the same meal. Elijah liked them better prior to the cooking.
2. Jack O'Lantern Pot Pie. Miriam liked eating the eye piece slice.

3. Bone rolls. They didn't really turn out as "boney" as they were in my mind, but nobody seemed to mind. We dipped them in soup. I LOVE SOUP IN THE FALL!

Miriam got pretty into the at-dinner picture taking. There is a whole series of me eating this entire dinner. Seriously, there's probably 40 pictures documenting the meal. This is an awesome one of me. I thought I looked cute when I winked, but apparantly I don't.

I started taking some of the other side of the table and got this shot. I was looking at the image thinking "GOSH THAT'S A GREAT ONE" when Brent turned the camera he had to show me what they were laughing at... me winking. Oh well, at least it produced a good picture.
And here's the whole family as we currently stand.
I hope your halloween has been DELICIOUS ;)

Cute ideas! You are so creative, I'm going to try the ghostly shepherd pie this weekend. :)

The shepherds pie is really cute. Too bad I can't stand the stuff or I would make it!

Wow! Super cute, Paigie! What creativity and talent. PS You are cute when you wink.

Your creations look fabuloso! I would steal them if Perry wasn't opposed to Shepherd's Pie and Chicken Pot Pie. Sigh.

I love that Miriam can capture the moment at such a young age. Perhaps she can give Lil lessons.

Enjoy your soup in the fall and
Have a happy day!

Oh I forgot to say:)...You can make shepherd's pie again at Chrismas. Just put on a different color of eyes, add a carrot and those are dead ringers for snowmen!

OOOOO Erin you are right! Those would be GREAT snowmen even without having the potatoes be mashier! And just today Miriam was looking at a picture of a cake decorated like Swiper and said "I think they used a grape for his nose. Or maybe an olive. Or maybe just frosting." I'm sure we could come up with all sorts of plausible black eye ideas. WOW!
And Ginger, I saw a folder at Target that said something in reference to Perry and I thought of you. I even took a picture of it but alas my camera is upstairs so I'll send it to you another day. It's from a show that I think is called Phinneas and Ferb that I've never seen but that I'm pretty sure a guy I was friends with in high school is an artist for. ANYWAY the point of the story is that I thought of you while I was at target!
