Halloween Cupcakes

This weekend we had our friends and their three children over (along with my family). I made a punchbowl full of sangria, some apple cupcakes, and we pigged out on the best pizza in New Jersey. I also let the kids make sugar cookies and decorate them from this little kit I found. They had a ball. I think the best compliment you can get is when a kid tells you, “Your house is so cool.”
Last night we dove into Season 1 of Dexter (we’re four episodes in). And don’t forget about the contest. How was your weekend?

My kids totally think your house is cool. It’s the home of the almighty Atari.

It’s much easier to be the funhouse when you don’t have children.

I (and the rest of Red Sox Nation) had a fantabulous weekend! WOOT WOOT!

Everything breaks at our house, lately. This weekend 2 computers and Ivon’s cell phone broke.

Jersey pizza is the best.

Saturday night I saw “The Sunset Limited”, a play by Cormac McCarthy. I’ve been a bit obsessed with him since reading “The Road” (which, if you haven’t yet, by all means check it out). As for the play, I’m tempted to add “as bunnies say” because it’s more a two person dialog life, it’s meaning, God’s place in it (if any). There’s two guys, one set, no action. At two hours, it could have used an intermission. Still, it’s McCarthy’s words, so there were moments of transcendence. Nothing fancy or frilly….just simple, plain-spoken and TRUE.

Wow, that needed editing. I meant to say it’s not so much a play as a monologue/dialogue about life, it’s meaning (or lack thereof), God….
Then Sunday I went to a sixth birthday parTAY for my niece. I got her a Cheetah girls karaoke microphone, with accompanying Cheetalicious feather boa, because one can never have too many props or accessories when one is six.

I am so jealous that I never had a gay uncle. UNFAIR.
This weekend I cleaned up my house, dyed some wool, spun some yarn, ate some junk food, watched a tv movie starring Tori Spelling, knit on my shawl and slept in.

I fooled around with a Giant Squid. Beat that!

I just spent 4 days in Southeastern PA visiting my friends and having the best time doing all of those fall things I miss now being in Florida - haunted hayride on a cold crisp night, followed by an awesome campfire with smores. Mmmm. It rained for the first 2 and 1/2 days, but I still had a ball. It’s going to take me a week to recover.

Maddie, did you go to “Haunted Hollow” in Somerset, Pa? Liz and I went there last weekend and it was awesome!

BTW, Debbie, thank you SO MUCH for saving me a cupcake!! I was so caught up in our conversation while I ate it that I failed to tell you how absolutely DELICIOUS it was!! Yummy yummy, just like it says across the top of my browser window…

Jill - I was near Philly actually, we went to a hayride at Delaware Valley Community College. Are you from Somerset? Two of my college roommates were from there. Just wondering because I don’t hear that town mentioned much.

Michael, my daughter’s sixth birthday party was Sunday too, and she wore a feather boa for much of the afternoon. (She also wore a hot pink wig for a while.)
