Halloween Cookies

This afternoon Mimi, Noah, and I decorated Halloween cookies. Noah had a blast showing his artistic side. He didn't realize that the frosting and candy corn were edible until he saw Mimi take a bite of a cookie. He looked at me like "Can I try one?" We gave him the go-ahead and he licked it exclaiming "birthday cake cookie" as he licked the frosting off.

I'm so glad that he enjoys sweets in moderation like Jay. Jay can't eat anything too sugary or limits himself to a small portion. I, on the other hand... when I find something I love, I want to indulge. Anyway, after almost finishing a whole cookie, he had his fix and decorated a little longer before wanting to play with his trucks. These are the cookies he decorated:

Pumpee Carving

Tonight was pumpkin carving night. We had a ton of fun carving and laughing while Noah explored the inside of a pumpee (that's what he calls pumpkins).

We also made cookies and Noah indulged in his first chocolate chip. He would lick it and say "mmm mmm". He even shared his with Daddy. I guess he couldn't have liked it that much.

He was definitely proud of his pumpee masterpiece. In case you can't tell, it's a ghost with the word "boo" inside of it. Ever since we went to the pumpkin patch and received ghost stickers, he points out every ghost he sees at stores and in front yards saying "woo woo". You probably can't make out that that is a ghost noise by those letters. Anyway, it's that spooky sound that ghosts make. It's so cute when he does it.

And here they are! Mine is the Trick or Treat and Jay's is the haunted house with the ghost.
