Queen of Rambles

Happy Halloween! I hope you all got something a little sweet today. I baked two pies because I am insane in the membrane. Pumpkin pie on Halloween is a family tradition, though as a parent I’m wondering why. Isn’t there enough sugar? Shouldn’t we change the name of the holiday to Sugar Day? I was a meanie and gave out Play Doh instead of sugar. I was worried, but my only two trick or treaters were beyond excited.

Back to the story of pie.

We planned a night of trick or treating with our friends. The guy in the family has a very limited pallet. He does not enjoy pumpkin pie, but adores pecan pie. I love pecan pie but can’t justify making it because of the sugar content. Since I was making a pie anyway, I figured I could just double the crust recipe and make two pies. So smart! Then I sent almost the whole thing home with him, so I don’t have that temptation. Score!

The boys LOVED trick or treating, of course. Instead of saying “Trick or Treat” they often said “We need candy!” Erik did a great job of only taking one piece but his little friend was a devil. He kept demanding more from each house, so I think his bucket was quite a bit heavier than Erik’s. They were pretty hilarious.

Here’s a couple of more pics from our trip that I really liked.

Won’t this be a great picture to blow up and have on display at their wedding? Too bad Erik has the pink remains of his purple cat on his cheek.

I love how they are bonding!
