Happy October!

I can't believe it is already October. Generally when I make pancakes its usually in the shape of Mickey for A, but this past weekend, I decided to make some pumpkins instead.

This kiddos seemed to like it.

I took out the wreath I made last year to hang and it still looks the same so that is great news.  Candy corn does last (well, at least for a year).  I'll let you know if it survives another. Click on the links below for the how-tos.

Here are some other things you can make to celebrate the month of October.

 Halloween Artwork

Witches' Hat

 Mummy Pizza

 Owl Smores

Owl Mooncakes

Owl Cupcakes

I know, there are a lot owl projects.  I just think they are so cute.  Don't you?  I'm so excited that Fall is finally here.  I'm in the mood for some caramel apples.  I don't believe my kids have ever tried any so I'll be excited to see their faces when they bite into one.  I'll have to pick up some apples to make some!

Rainbowed Pretzels

Here's a sweet and salty treat any kid would love, sprinkled covered pretzels.

All that is needed are some pretzel rods, almond bark or white chocolate and some of your favorite sprinkles.

Melt your almond bark and then coat half the pretzel.

Add your sprinkles. Let it harden and you are done.

A quick and simple treat to give or eat.

Can't wait to share this with the kids.

Rainbow Candy-ka-bobs

If you ask A. what his favorite color is, he will name every color that he knows. I've decided to throw him a rainbow birthday party. Even though, only a few friends and family are invited, I couldn't resist, but still go big with the treats. First up are rainbow candy-ka-bobs.

I went shopping for different colored candy that could be skewered on a stick. I found fruit slices and gumdrops were both colorful and yummy.

I lined up the candy in different combinations, but following the rainbow color sequence.

Then, I used a coffee stick stirrer to skewer the candy.

Voila! A rainbow candy-ka-bob!

Bag it and tie it with a ribbon and you are done.

One done, a dozen to go...

Cute, simple, pretty, and as A. would say, yummmmmy!
