Instead of doing a preschool this year, we are doing a swap with our friend Makayla. Madisen goes to her house one day a week for a few hours for ‘organized play’ and then they are at my house one day a week. It’s fun for us b/c I’m more likely to get out big projects for more than one child. This week we went to the store & they each picked out a small pumpkin. Then we came home & read a few books about pumpkins before we painted them. They didn’t quite grasp the concept of painting a face on, but they had a great time coating the entire pumpkin with paint.
Last Friday we were invited to a friends house to decorate Halloween cookies. Of course, Madisen just thoroughly enjoyed the frosting. So I frosted the cookies for her & then she put on the eyes & sprinkles.
We went to dinner at Bill’s cousin’s house last week & were in charge of dessert. So I had to take the opportunity to make something festive. I got this great idea from kraftfoods. The kids & adults loved them & it’s even a relatively ‘healthy’ treat! 
Last night we had a family in the ward over for dinner, again another chance to make a festive dessert. This is actually Bill's creation, another idea from kraftfoods!
P.S. For those of you who asked for the book list, it's coming sometime this week!

I love the idea of a once a week "swap" for "organized playtime". I think I will have to find a mom to try that with here.
Aren't you the domestic diva! I love Kraft Foods, they always have EASY yummy recipes. That is so fun that you have an organized play date for Madisen. I bet they loved the pumpkin painting!
