After days of preparation and anticipation, Halloween Day finally fell upon us!! Although I used the word preparation, I should be clear that I had to place Jacob in daycare and recruit Grammy Sue to come up and help me get everything finalized. As most of you know, I am not one for baking/cooking...boiling water for that matter. However, with being 36 weeks pregnant something has shifted in my mentality and I am in full nesting mode!! So what did this "Susie Homemaker" try and do? Oh, bake approximately 120 cookies for all the neighbors and teachers at Jacob's daycare!! I chose two different recipes, one for the kids in the house and one for the grown-ups. I think they actually turned out rather tasty and super cute!!
I love the picture at the top. Jacob looks like he is the Halloween Santa Clause!! Although this was a major feat and took ALL day long...I am so glad that I did it. We got to meet most of our neighbors and have an actual conversation with them. It was a great way to extend our hands to people that we really want to get to know. I already have one mom mentioning organizing a block party!!! EEK I'm excited!!
