Halloween

Another fun holiday! This year we tried our hand at homemade rootbeer. We were a bit thrown off when we opened the rootbeer extract and it was clear, rather than brown. Drinking clear liquid that tastes like rootbeer is . . . odd. We used food coloring to make it green for Halloween. Drinking green liquid that tastes like rootbeer is still . . . odd, but it was fun and I'm sure we'll make it again some time.

Traditional Halloween dinner: mummy dogs, ghostly pears, carrot fingers, and orange pumpkins.

And here are my cuties in their costumes!

McKell wanted to be Dora the Explorer. Brenna requested Sofia the First. Ashlyn broke the mold for our girly house and went as a ninja. And Kaylee, who read The Hunger Games over the summer, wanted to be Katniss, of course.
