My husband is the expert pumpkin carver! He goes all out and unfortunately for him, he ends up doing most of the work. While the kids were carving pumpkins I made an apple tart that was so yummy and Gianni could not stop eating it! It was a simple recipe straight out of this month's Food Network mag from the Barefoot Contessa. Butter butter butter!
The apple tart was just dessert and they had to eat their supper first! In honor of pumpkin carving I made Stuffed Shells with Cheddar Pumpkin Sauce. The shells were stuffed with ground turkey, onion, and spinach. The sauce was a basic cream sauce made with milk and flour. To that I added canned pumpkin, cheddar cheese, and ground nutmeg. I thought that the kids would see the green spinach and onion inside and freak out but they ate it up!
Trick or treating with Sydney Joy! The kids lined up for their normal shot at the end of the driveway. This year my two were Dorothy and Mario.
Papa took part in his first ever Halloween. He handed out candy while we took the kids around.
Abel went to Vegas the next morning so I ended my week on my own and the kids were fantastic!
Carmen Quote of the Week:
We go around the dinner table and say the best part of our day every night.
Mom: "The best part of my day was that I prayed that you kids would get up and get dressed quickly today since dad is out of town and I am by myself. You guys did it! You were perfect kids!"
Carmen: "Mom....you should pray more often and then we will always be good!"
Gianni Quote of the Week:
As we are walking into Target to buy new sneakers for him.
Gianni: "Uhhhh mom...is it okay that I have no underwear on?"
Mom: "Gianni, what do you mean you have no underwear on????"
Gianni: "Well, when you sent me to my room to get dressed, I guess I took them off and put shorts on. I'm not sure what I was thinking."
This would be an Uncle Justin moment.
