We have never been a big Halloween family. I love that my kids have no idea that they are ‘supposed’ to go and Trick or Treat. Yes, they do enjoy getting dressed up, and would certainly never refuse candy, but if we didn’t do it, it wouldn’t be missed.
That being said, I think Eric will try to take them to a couple of neighbors we know and we will take the cute pictures – you can NEVER have too many of those! (says the scrapbooker Mom) Our house is decorated for fall (thanks to a couple of wonderful friends) and we can continue with this decor for the remainder of November – yea!
As much as I am trying to stay away from sugar (a Whole Foods trip is planned to find SOMETHING to satisfy my sweet tooth) I am certain I will not make it through fall without a loaf of my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread! Yum-O! A few years ago I tried to make a ‘healthy’ version of this recipe – let’s just say that you can’t replace every ingredient with a healthier substitution and come out with something that tastes as good – or is even edible! Maybe just a slice – or two – of the real thing. =)
