Every year I make a batch of my mom's sugar cookies and keep the dough in the fridge for when Nigel gets the inkling to do "cookie cutters." Frosting and sprinkles add to the fun.
Something new this year is that we bough actual pumpkin carving tools. Why have I never done this before?! They really are a lot safer than using kitchen knives as they claim. It's the right tool for the job. And the tools came with a book of patterns so Nigel chose the bat cat pumpkin and "carved" it, which means he cheered me on while I did it and he still genuinely believes that he carved it. I'm okay with that.
There is a sneak peak of Nigel and Bradley's costumes. Not that it's a secret, but I am hoping to take some more pictures on Halloween and post again. I painted the mustache on Nigel's face and he checked it out in the bathroom mirror and shouted to me, "Mom, it's great! But you missed a spot!" He came back into the family room having smeared the two lines together. I guess he thinks that curly mustaches should not have a space in between them. I thought they had a mustache part, but what do I know? I kind of enjoyed the fact that he had an opinion.

Such a great mama to these boys! I love the idea of just having it in the fridge ready to go! Good thinking! And what fun costumes!
