it snowed here the saturday before halloween. which was kind of unexpected, although my phone said it would snow, i didn't believe it since it has done me wrong before and it just seemed way too early to snow. we just returned from southern california and 70-80 degree weather the day before, so it just didn't seem like it would
really snow. but snow it did, as you can see. we went on a little winter... uh... autumn walk on sunday morning.
snow means winter and baking, right? so i just
had to use the last of our garden zucchini for zucchini bread using my friend mary's
recipe (which is my all time favorite!). i added some frozen blueberries and it was delicious! we
may have been listening to christmas music while we made them...
we went to a halloween art class and made haunted castles. the castle is make from a tissue box, toilet paper and paper towel roll and shaved ice cone all painted gray. both kids loved decorating their castles and they looked super cute as halloween decorations at home.
this year we were princess leia and yoda. this was the first year i did not make their costumes, which was sad and a relief. with the multiple funerals all across the country it just wasn't in the cards this year, but next year we will hopefully go back to homemade. but it may depend on what they want to be...
happy autumn!
