"there are Witches in the air...

Over the past few days, my little one has become a Halloween enthusiast. (well not really) She loves the light up pumpkin a co worker got me, has memorized "the spooky version of the wheels on the bus, wants to fall asleep to the 5 little pumpkin poem and is telling some odd stories with her imaginary friend dapper and wolves.....
So I saw this cute treat in a magazine and had to make them for her to take to her play group.
Witchy Pudding
"Jell-o" pudding cups in vanilla
Green food coloring
Chocolate wafers
Orange Frosting
Sugar cones

Take the pudding out of the cups and wash the cups. When dry, draw the witch face on the cups. Put a few drops of green color in the pudding and mix it up. Fill the cups back up. Place a wafer on the top of the pudding cup. (holds up the cone and acts as a seal for the pudding) squeeze some orange frosting on the wafer and top off with a cone.
You can wrap licorice around the hat or add other Halloween treats but I thought they were cute just as is.

Hope you all have kept your bellies happy. I am taking a break for about a week or so. Use this time to try out a new recipe, go to the library and check out a new cook book, share a meal with a friend or bake something unexpected for a neighbor.

We have a neighbor down the street, Mr Tom, whom Sophia adores....His wife past away from Cancer a few years back (instant bond) and I make a point, almost each week to walk him down some fresh cookies or homemade jelly or even soup. I just think how he would miss those treats that his wife would have made and love to see his smile when Phi hands him his goodies, what a lesson for Phi. We call it meals on stroller wheels, cause it usually get carted down in the basket of a stroller.

Sometimes, unexpected kindness and love can pull someone out of the deep hole they might have found themselves that day. There is so much power in love! Its just that simple. It weaves a life vest for those that need it. Just show up and love! It saves, heals and holds like no other.
(S, C, H, J, JA, L, A, JG ~ I can't even begin to explain how you stepped in at the right moment and gave me my very own life vest. God has used you and our friendship in such a way that I could never have imagined. Thank you for your love)
