Keara and Easton's Preschool puts on a Thanksgiving feast every year for all of the preschoolers and their families. They bring all of the food, set up stations, and let all the kids have a hand in mixing, pouring, and stirring the food (after we thoroughly washed our hands- thank God!). Our group was in charge of the corn casserole. Between food preparation, we made name tags, colored turkeys, sang songs, played games and then they got to reveal the hats they made. We enjoyed our meal of ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn casserole and pumpkin muffins.
*For all you parents, please don't let your child be the only child that doesn't have any parent, grandparent, family or friend show up to eat with them.*

Pie-fection
I made my first homemade pie yesterday. I was always under the impression that pie-making was almost an art and was intimidated to even try making a pie, sure that it wouldn't turn out. But, that morning I asked Keara and Easton if they wanted to make an apple pie and they were so excited. I went home and the only recipe I could find for the crust was one with lard- yum! So, I called my Mom and got her recipe and we made the pie crust dough and then cut up the apples and finally put it all together and enjoyed the smell of a baking pie. I do have to say, it turned out, and tasted really good.

Halloween
Well, this was probably Keara and Easton most fun Halloween so far. They couldn't wait to go trick or treating. Keara wanted to be a princess and well, I kind of pushed her to princess Belle simply because my Mom had the perfect fabric to make the dress and Easton has always wanted to be Spiderman and actually already owned the costume. They had fun dressing up, but the best for them was the door-to-door candy! They were a little shy, but when the bowl of candy got to eye level, they were all for it! Today all we have been hearing is 'Have little snack? Maybeeee, candy?'.
