Owl Cookies




We've made these owl cookies for the past couple years and this is the first year the boys have really kind of known what we're doing and gotten excited about them. They're great for kids because they can put the eyes (M&Ms) and beak (cashew nuts) on and love to see the cookie turn into an owl. Plus Jack loved stuffing his face with the M&Ms. I love doing holiday things! Besides owl cookies we went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday with Lindsay and had a wonderful time,. We decorated our pumpkins yesterday for FHE (we just stick eyes and mouthes on them, cutting up the pumpkin seems like too much work!). On Thursday for Joy School we are making a jack o lantern, so that should be fun too. Next week we are going trick or treating at our neighborhood retirement home and there are a lot of Hallowe'en parties happening on Saturday. It sure is a fun time of year!

Such concentration Caleb & Julian seem so intent on what they are doing. Jack knows what to do with treats- put them in the mouth good memories for the boys as well as building up their skills. Good job

The pumpkin patch was a riot! I loved seeing Jack run through the pumpkins in his turtle costume!

These are my favorite Halloween cookies of all time. The boys look like they're having the time of their lives.

I love the one of Jackie stuffing his face. Too cute. You are good at catching those moments of adorableness.

I love these cookies! They're fantastic. I have a weakness for owls myself :)
