Lifting my spirits... Halloween Style!

Monday was a pretty depressing day. I had to take the van in for some repairs, and it turned out to be more extensive than I thought. That left me feeling pretty bummed, so I decided to have some fun for FHE, and decorate our pumpkins. While at Wally-World getting pumpkins, I noticed a fun-looking Haunted House Gingerbread Kit, and had to get that, too. We had lots of fun making our "potato head pumpkins" and the kids thoroughly enjoyed making and eating the haunted house! Seeing them having so much fun and enjoying the family time together sure lifted my spirits!

Megan was in a baking mood on Sunday, so after church she made up a batch of sugar cookies. She had TONS of fun cutting out and decorating Halloween cookies. I thought I would share pictures of them, too, since she was so proud!
