face paint

i bought cheap affordable face paints for halloween.

now when the kids see them they ask for noses and whiskers..

and rainbows..

and hearts..

and stars.

on their faces..

foreheads...

hands.

this past weekend i gave them just what they asked for.

right hand: black star

left hand: green heart

nose and cheeks: blue noses, white whiskers

forehead: rainbow with cloud.

then we went hiking out back.

elijah wouldn't let me take a picture of him.

but here's dakota:

that's lunch around the mouth haha!

Halloween cookies

my kids love halloween.

what do they love about it?

they get to dress up, see other costumes and get candy!

of course candy is probably the first on their list.

my friend and i get together each year before halloween and make... 

halloween sugar cookies!!

these are some of this years' cookies.
