You're never too old for Halloween!


I love to dress up! When Katie Caroline told me that she and her friend Charlsie were having a Halloween party I was pumped!! At first I couldn't come up with an original costume though...then it hit me since I just became and new nurse in May this year for Halloween I should be just that-- a nurse. When I mentioned to a coworker of mine, my idea of a homemade costume (white dress with a white button down shirt complete with red cross and "Nurse Nat" thanks to MBSigns) she quickly dug through her attic to find her authentic nursing cap to top off the costume. It was cute but I can't believe they actually wore these things to work in...it was so bothersome! I used Katie Caroline's baby doll, a hospital baby hat, and hospital newborn blanket from work and my stethoscope from school and wa- la I was a cute 1920's Neonatal Nurse.

Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies




Me with my masterpiece: this Graveyard Cake took me almost three hours to make! It was made of devils food cake, homemade icing, crushed Oreo cookies for dirt, chocolate covered pretzels as the fence, chocolate covered Milano cookies as headstones, a solid chocolate spooky tree, candy pumpkins, and marshmallow ghosts. I thought it was so cute and quite tasty too!!
