Change of Plans

We expected to be on our way to Colorado today for a baptism, but the Bassetts ended up having to postpone things for a week or two.
That's ok- it meant we got to have Halloween Dinner Grandma-Style with Hailey and Makayla.

They did all the work. Almost.

They made mummy hotdogs

which were actually ridiculously tasty.

My helpers also made banana ghosts and clementine pumpkins for a side dish.

I didn't try a ghost, but I understand they were frightfully good.

Of course, I made some witch's brew to drink,

and I rustled up some rice cooked in water with black food coloring maggots as another side dish.

Yummy!

Even Hailey had some fruit, something she rarely does.

We even got to go to the ward Trunk-or-Treat. Stan has a leaf hanging from a thread on his hat. Do you know what he is? Check your answer at the end of this post.

We had chili at church before Trunk-or-Treating. 



Guess who won first place for their chili? Yep, me--and I got a gift card to the local yogurt shop as my prize. How cool is that? Here's the recipe I used.

Stan is a leaf-blower. How's that for a last minute costume?
