Halloween and more...

My first attempt at Indian food. Actually, it was easy to do and very aromatic and tasty! This is Biagan Bartha. Now it didn't taste like the one I get at Mirch Masala, but I have another recipe that is for the same item but has a different twist. So I'll try it and see if its closer to what I'm looking for. The kiddo's each had at least 2 servings, except of course for finicky Olivia.
Another completed project! Yeah! Olivia was kind enough to model it for me. This one took a bit longer since I actually put the needles down for about 3 days. wow.
Halloween at Liberty H.S. To my knowledge this is the only H.S. that had a Halloween SAFE Night event. They were expecting over 1,000 people in a 3 hour period.
Here the kids are getting ready to do the mazes. Jolie really had a rough time in that dress...


We did go Trick or Treating this evening. The kids ran from house to house and I followed in the car. This is the first time I've ever done that. But we stayed in our neighborhood and I felt comfortable letting them run with Kristina for a few houses and then by themselves. We did discover that our section of this subdivision sucks where participation is concerned. Very disappointing. Just around the corner there was house after house of candy to be had, tons of kids trick or treating, and even more being delivered up here by car. Next year.....

Halloween is in the air and a little more...

What an interesting sight this was. Earlier we'd heard a large plane fly overhead and then when this group of helicopters started over I just had to see what was going on. Well imagine my surprise to eventually see 16 helicopters fly over in formation.


Halloween costumes in the house! Everyone trying on theirs to see if they fit and look as expected.





Olivia is a Ladybug!


Jolie is a plush Princess, not posh or cute, but Plush!
Parker is a Ninja! Yeeee Haaaaaaaaa!

Hunter is a Bakugan!



3-D glasses all around for the kids to watch "Bob's Big Break". This picture really reminds me of the 1950's movie pics...
Next came pumpkin cleaning, carving and
wonderful mess'.









Indian food on the horizon for this house. I've finally found a dish that I just have to learn to make for myself. Its called, "Baigan Bartha". Yum! So David and I took off, in the snow storm, this a.m. to get what I'd need to make the dish AND others that we all love. So I'll be attempting to cook Indian food tonight (fingers crossed) and again in the near future. I hope it turns out good....
The plate in the midst of all the Indian items is Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies! They are great!

Last, but not least, snow angels in the making! Everyone had to run out and play in the snow as soon as there was enough snow to play in and lay down to get started. This video was shot yesterday during their first snow day of the year. We're now into day 2 and its possible that we may have a 3rd day, but we'll have to wait and see. This storm is reeking havoc all over the front range.
