Halloween is over so it's time to move on to Thanksgiving. We had a good amount of trick or treaters, but they seemed to come in bunches. We had a buzz lightyear, princesses, dracula, power ranger and others. We also had a group of girls dressed as football players and boys as the cheerleaders, complete with rouge on their cheeks, the boys not the girls...ha.
But it's over now and we have too much candy left over...but we always buy too much...you would think we do that on purpose...ha. I didn't scare any one but 'J's friends who came by, the others were to young. We had some little strobe lights around the door that were sound and motion activated and they made scary sounds, so that was enough for the younger ones.
'C' went to her friends Friday night to make funnel cakes, they didn't turn out well so she wanted us to get a recipe and try them. So Saturday we found a recipe online, I bought a funnel cake kit years ago so I had the container to pour the batter from. They turned out pretty good. We put powdered sugar on them, but I think next time I'm going to put strawberry on mine, kind of like strawberry shortcake.
'C' went to another friends birthday party on Saturday night and when 'J' and I went to pick her up, 'J' wore my 'michael myers'(spelling?) mask (from the movie 'Halloween') while I drove. She had a good time seeing peoples reactions...ha.
Sunday we fixed a pot of chili, and we have left overs in the fridge.
I hope everyone has a great week,
Sheila
Sounds like you had a nice halloween and now on to Thanksgiving. We are just sort of hanging in there as far as Thanksgiving. Never know what may come up between then and now.

Your Thanksgiving graphic is too funny. Smart turkey's!
ReplyDeleteI've always heard people talk about how good funnel cakes are but I've never had one. I made a pot of chili last week, we like it better left over because all the spices soak in overnight giving it a better flavor.
Our grandkids were our only trick or treaters. We don't have many little ones in our neighborhood.
I hope you have great week.

Hi, we worked all afternoon and we still didn't get the plumbing to work. I'm in so much pain tonight I told your dad I was calling a plumber tomorrow but he still insist he can get the job done.
ReplyDeleteTake care, love you, mom
Tell Ida to just stay away. You sure don't need a visit from her. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI'll be having surgery the day before Thanksgiving so it's take out for us! LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
