Post Halloween pictures

Here's are some pictures from this year's Halloween. Somehow my kids collected approximately 9 pounds of candies. I'm going to ration the candies out slowly for their glowing progress report aka bribes.







Also, sneak peek of new handspun coming soon.

Phew

Yesterday was a busy day. I baked 2 batches of peanut butter & chocolate chips scones & a apple pie plus 2 crockpots of applesauce. I was going to bake pumpkin bread but hubby shut down the kitchen. Just want to let you know that I added Sangria 2 earlier today. Go take a look.
