Halloween Treats

We had the most fun this morning, as the kids had no school I needed to think of a way to entertain all those kids. We found these cool recipes:

Eye Balls

1. Vanilla pudding (the kind you make yourself) put in the bottom half of plastic Easter eggs and placed in freezer


2. Once they are ready, take away the plastic egg and put one lifesaver on top with a jelly bean in the middle


3. Place back in freezer for 10 minutes so the candy sticks to the pudding Swamp Juice

• 1 can of frozen Lemonade, partly thawed


• 1 can of limeade, partly thawed


• 1 bottle of sprite


• A few Scoops of sherbet Ice-cream

We finished up our Halloween wall, looks pretty good I think.

Saturday night we went to a Halloween party and adults were encouraged to dress up too. It was fun dressing up, although I don't remember the rolls being sewn into my dress before I put it on.

Trick or Treating with friends tonight and then goodbye October and Hello November!!!

Happy Halloween

Trunk or Treat

Our friends invited us to a Trunk or Treat at their church. It was really fun for the kids, plus they got to dress up in these ever so gorgeous outfits that Nanny and Grandad bought them on their holiday. They looked stunning and was complimented many times. Thank you Mum and Dad!!

Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton has start an imaginary library for the kids of Otero county. There is no catch whatsoever and is fabulous! You sign your child up and every month until they are five they receive a book in the mail. The first month just came and its Dolly Partons favourite book as a child "The Little Train That Could". We all gathered round to read it, including Rexy Roo Roo. Check out my gorgeous peach and nectarine pie made with my brand new stoneware pie dish. Yummy Yum Yum.

Book Review- One Day

One Day by David Nicholls

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Please do not read this if you plan on reading the book, this review will ruin it for you and its only my opinion. With that said:



I am PISSED!! I am so mad at this book! First it took me 60% (kindle) to actually get into the book and want to keep reading it. Its about two people that meet and have a great time together and end up being friends for 20+ years. But Dexter is a complete twat and sleeps with every girl he comes accross and is not very nice to Emma most of the time but they secretly both love each other. Then he gets married and has a child and screws that up. Emma is a lovely young lady, was a teacher and then lives in Paris and is a well known author and he comes to stay with her as friends and they finally get together, he has changed and absolutely loves her and she has always deep down wanted this so she was extremely happy. They are happy for years and try for a baby, they arrange to meet at a house they intend to buy and then..... They kill her off!!! What!! You kill off the only decent charater in the book!! And then he is left to mourn for the next 10% of the book. Very Disappointed!!

Oh Hailey

How I love you little Miss Hailey. Today I dressed you in the most adorable outfit, you were so sweet and sat with your legs crossed like a lovely little princess. Then you came home from school with a pirate costume and had huge muscles.
