Not ME! Monday...

Here goes yet another edition of NOT ME Monday! Mckmama, who birthed this silly, yet fun subject, if finally home with her little one Stellan. Congrats to you. Because of all the excited she may or may not post a NOt Me Monday. But, I still wanted to do mine for this week, this is just something I do not enjoy doing. Yes it already has begun!

I did not repaint my nails this week because I did not continue to pick at the nail polish that was on my nails. Why would I do that?

I did not help make breakfast Saturday morning with my Hubby, because I do not enjoy doing those type of things with him.

I did not get 8 crock pot recipes from someone to only forget all about it until just now. Nope, Not me, I always remember things.

I did not go to a Halloween party and make a caramel apple just to not eat the thing. I did not just make it because I had never made one before, i did not do that.

I did not have fun carving my pumpkin and I most certainly did not use a pattern to carve out my pumpkin. Because I didn't want something cool on there rather than a traditional jack-o-lantern face. NOpe not me.

I did not wait to finish my work for "school" because I was just being plain out lazy. I did not do that.

I did not eat loads and loads of reese's this weekend, that would not have been very good of me.

What did you not do this week?

30 Days Of Fall + Day 13

What a wonderful night it was, I'm so glad the weather was nice for all those trick-or-treaters.
Well, tonight we went to a party at a friends house and had lots of fun too.

Jeremy found the M&M bowl and was sneeking some M&M's, but it wasn't that hard to spot his Banana Hands, LOL.

we went to a friends house for a party and I dressed up as a sexy black kitty, and Jeremy was a missing person on a milk carton, LOL.


-Happy Halloween- To YOu ALL!
Who is that little girl... I bet some of you can guess, especially if you are a avid reader of Tabith's blog, Fresh Mommy.
Peek-A-Boo, It's Baby Blue. @ The party Baby Blue found a dog hole in the door and decided she would try and fit through it.

I Love Cookies... although my favorite kind of cookie is chocolate chip cookies, YUMMO! But, putting into consideration the kids at the daycare, and the specific holiday, I decided to make pumpkin shaped sugar cookies. That's right, sugar cookies. Not my favorite, but any young kids favorite. So, I set out to find a recipe. Here is what I found...

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1-1/3 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight). I just stuck my dough in a sealed ziploc bag in the freezer for 15 mins.

2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.

As you can see in this picture here I did not have a rolling pin to roll out my dough, so guess what I used.... that's right, the sauce jar. I lathered some flour on it, and rolled our my dough. Hey, it worked.
Then I used a round condiments bowl we have to cut out the circle shape, then I used a knife to cute little rectangle pieces, and I connected those to the top of the circles, and wala, a pumpkin
HMMM... Baked to perfection. I colored vanilla frosting orange and green. And after they cooled down I frosted those bad boys, and I was finished. It was so fun, and really easy too. And believe it or not, I did NOT burn one batch of cookies.

They turned our GREAT! I love parties!

Pumpkins... ooey gooey goodness... to your hands that is. Last night I got to feel that gooeyness in between my fingers, and I felt just like a kid again. Of course when I was a kid I didn't sort out the seeds, I just threw those with the guts. Yeah, that's right the guts. LOL. My grandfather was always the one sorting through the seeds and guts, he liked to cook them. But he didn't want us wasting time getting those seeds, our jobs were to carve the pumpkins. I love when those memories fall back into my brain.
I didn't even use a spoon to cut this bad boy, I used my hands the whole time.
And here we have the end result. Its Frankenstein. HEhehe...
FYI:: I did not carve this free hand, as much as I wish I did, I did not. Maybe next year I'll have to try and carve something cool like this free hand. What I did was print off a template HERE, and taped the paper on my gutted pumpkin, and took a toothpick and poked holes along the black. When I outlined the all the black, I then took the paper off the pumpkin, grabbed my carving tool and carved that bad boy. It was really easy, and fun too. Sometimes the angles can get tricky, so be careful on the pattern you choose.
