Halloween Costumes

Well its 2 weeks until Thanksgiving but its better late than never to share our Trick or Treat pictures! The boys had a blast on Halloween. Thomas decided to be Max from his favorite book, Where the Wild Things Are. Oliver was a lion. We had fun trick or treating around the new neighborhood. Aunt Mary trick or treated with us too. She was a pretty awesome witch. Unfortunately we all had the H1N1 flu the following week so we didn't get a chance to enjoy that candy right away. But we are all feeling better now and still have a good 2+ lbs of candy that will last probably until Christmas. :)

Little Pirates

They are all set to steal your candy loot tomorrow night. Be on the look out for these 2 hooligans. :)

PUMPKINS PUMPKINS!

We carved and painted the pumpkins tonight. The boys helped me paint the little pumpkins and Brent carved the big pumpkins. We lit them up outside and they look pretty cool from the street with their candles in them. We are all set for Saturday then. I also picked up some funky glow sticks for a dollar at Walmart and a pumpkin flashlight. Should make for some fun little treats for the kids.

Thomas can't wait to trick or treat, he has been asking to go every night now for over a week. He keeps changing his mind on what he wants to dress up as. He has a couple costumes to pick from, so Saturday he will surprise us with what he wants to be. Oliver is going to be a little lion. He has been practicing his roars and is a very ferocious but cute lion. As it so happens, he is also teething so this little lion bites too. :)

Upside-Down Peach Cake

I tried this recipe for the first time and it was so yummy. I have to share it with you to try!

A recipe for peach upside down cake made with a white cake mix.

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 can peach slices, (29 ounce can)
maraschino cherries, halved
2 eggs
1 box white cake mix

Preparation:
Pour oil in 13x9x2-inch pan; sprinkle brown sugar evenly in pan. Drain peaches, reserving syrup in a large measuring cup. Arrange peaches and cherry halves in the sugar mixture, I used a bundt pan and made a ring of peaches. Add enough water to peach juice to make 1 1/3 cups of liquid; add liquid and 2 eggs to cake mix. Mix as directed on the package. Pour batter over the fruit. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 60-70 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides of pan. Let stand 5 minutes then turn upside down onto a cake dish or large platter. I recommend placing a pizza pan or baking sheet with edges covered in foil underneath where you would like the cake because it can be messy when you flip the cake. Serve warm with peach or vanilla ice cream.
