I love this time of year, especially when the leaves change colors, but here in Texas, not many leaves change. I miss that about Utah. Looking up at the mountains and seeing all of those beautiful autumn colors. However, one of the perks about being in Texas is the warmer weather. While grandpa and grandma were visiting, we went to the Dallas World Aquarium, the kids loved it.

While we had our built in babysitters for the week, Milan surprised me with a date night, which consisted of getting all dressed up and going to dinner and seeing Mary Poppins the broadway musical. I haven't been to a musical or play for a long time and it was wonderful. It was a pleasant surprise. Milan had left a card on my bathroom counter inviting me to spend an evening with him and to go buy myself something nice to wear for the occasion. What a wonderful husband I have.

Fun Halloween Treats

I found some fun Halloween recipes and thought while grandma and grandpa were here this week visiting, we would try a few. Let's just say grandpa wasn't impressed with the worms. If anyone would like the recipes or you want to know how to make any of these, let me know.

I made eyeballs the first night, which were really easy to make.

The next night I made worms on top of dirt (crushed oreos). The worms look real and my kids actually thought I was feeding them real worms at first and protested eating them. I have to say they look really disgusting and feel really creepy too.

A few nights later (we had to give grandpa a break)we made Candy Corn Bark. Grandpa liked this one best.

We are getting ready for Halloween at our house and to get you into the Halloween spirit, we wanted to share a little movie clip of our family. Enjoy!
