My husband is a good sport…
I try to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible these days (yes, I’m still pretty pukey, but hopefully will feel better, soon!). So at my request, he made these cute “mummy dogs” for dinner last night. I have seen this kind of thing featured around the internet at a few different sites lately, and it looked simple enough. And what was even better, we had the hot dogs, and a can of Pillsbury-type breadstick dough that needed to be used. It was a fun, quick, kid-friendly, way to get into the holiday mood (even better, since I didn’t have to do it. :-)!
I also thought I would share a couple of pictures of my daughter enjoying storytime and “trick or treating” at the library this week as a piggy. Here’s a front and back view:
I’m going to experiment with the tail a bit, but for a last minute fix, I thought this worked pretty well. Mainly, I’m just excited that she is excited about being a pig.
I can’t remember if I have told you my plans for our family costumes this year. We are ALL dressing up (even hubby), and you know that my youngest is a pig of some sort. Any guesses? I’ll send the winner some of the Halloween cookies my kids painted! 🙂 No, I really won’t because they kept licking their paintbrushes in between strokes, so I don’t think you want them. Maybe I’ll just give you a little bloggy love when we reveal our final costumes. Speaking of which, I have a little spray painting, and maybe a little sewing to do, to get them finished. I’d better get it in gear.
Happy Halloween preparations to you!
p.s. I just checked my archives, and I did mention my plans for this year, so I guess we will just see who was paying attention! 🙂

The piggy costume is adorable! I'm guessing you are going with a Toy Story theme this year. Can't wait to see pictures.
Soo cute! I just found your blog today. I am LDS as well. I am having my first giveaway today on my blog…stop on by and take a peek. A set of 12 berry wreath napkin rings in either red or white. They are really quite cute.
I love all your Halloween food. We just did a big open house for our ward and we did some of the things you show.

I love "Hamm", we are going for a toy story theme around here, my oldest is Buzz and the youngest is Woody, unfortunately the buck stops there, as my oldest want Dad to be the 2nd Buzz from Toy Story 2 and there was No way he was going for that…I was to be "Bo" or Jessie, he hadn't decided, oh well there is always next year.
Well, now I can see the Toy Story info. I was hoping for "If You Give a Pig a Pancake" or "Olivia". Though given that Hubby and I went to see Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D with absolutly no children involved I think I can give a big cheer for the theme.
I didn't read the comments by my guess is Toy Story. Can't wait to see it.
