By the way, "Bug" is looking for a "french fry bean Halloween cookie recipe" If you have one handy, please send it to me. ;) Her first soccer game (after the one and only "meltdown practice") is tomorrow morning. Wish me luck, PLEASE!

Fall Fun!!!

Fall is here and Thanksgiving is right around the corner soooooooo we are celebrating with crafts and yummy eats!!!

Today we made these super cute Hand and Feet Turkey Wreath

YES, the turkey's body is "Bug's" cute little foot and YES, those are the hand prints of both of my precious angels. I love it!!!

Tomorrow we will be making Make and Takes, Countdown Turkey!


Bug will especially enjoy this because she know that when all the feathers are gone she will get to see her grandparents and cousins!!! I think as we "pluck" the feathers we will put them in her suitcase to really get her excited!

We LOVE apples and I cannot wait to make Makes and Takes, Apple Prints




This weekend we will be making Bright Ideas, Turkey Cupcakes!!
My favorite part it the Starburst feathers.....finally a reason to use up the leftover Halloween candy!!!

Alphamom's ADORABLE and FUN Krispy Turkey Treats!


I love this time of year and all the fun crafts!!!! Be sure to let me know what you and your lil turkeys are making!
Hugs,
Tara

I have ALWAYS loved Halloween........

But now that we have Bug is SOOOOO much more fun. She loves to wave at the inflatables in our neighbors yards and loves the ghosts and pumpkin decorations that we have in our house. FUN!!! FUN!!! FUN!!!!.

I LOVE holiday crafts and recipes. I hope you enjoy these and will e-mail me if you have any to share!


Happy Trick-or-treating!!
