Halloween, believe it or not, was a little stressful for me this year. One would assume I had my act together considering I got my decorations up early this year.
They were super cute. (In my opinion)
We bought our pumpkins an entire week before Halloween! We carved them as a family.
I volunteered to bring sugar cookies for my Brown Eyed Girls class party, juice boxes for Mr Blue Eyes'. I was going to be present and volunteer and I felt like this:
Wrinkled.
This Skull head in desperate need of a a facelift.
I am pretty sure this was a witches face - course we will never know for sure - but now it looks a little more like Slimer.
I never did end up putting a candle in either one so the kids could see them all lit up at night. Major fail!
Today they look like this:
And I will be putting them in the trash for tomorrow's pick up. Never lit. Wrinkled and saggy.
Ohhh cookies....
I volunteered to bring sugar cookies and decorating supplies. I unfortunately waited until the night before the party to purchase said cookies. And guess what?!? I went to 5, cinco, FIVE stores and they were all completely SOLD OUT of sugar cookies!
Deep breath.
Looks like I was baking sugar cookies at the last minute.
No need to panic yet - right?!?
Got my bowl out, added eggs and butter to the pre-made mix I bought (thank you Betty!) and I was ready to bake some cookies!
Guess what... I don't own a rolling pin and I don't own a cookie cutter!
I poured a very large glass of wine, put on my Macgyver hat and improvised.
This 30 year old Tupperware cup is my new best friend.
It really is a multipurpose kitchen essential. Flip her on her side, a little flour and she made a very respectable rolling pin.
Cookie cutter in a pinch - no problem!
B-E-A-utiful sugar cookies if I do say so myself!
I also don't own a cute cookie plate or cookie container.
I am pretty sure this is Tupperware container I found in the back of my cabinet was meant to be a meat marinating dish... wavy lined bottom and all.
Well now it doubles as a cookie dish.
Lord knows a bunch of kindergarteners will never know the difference. And as long as I keep it discreetly off to the side, neither will the other parents.
The next morning, my sugar cookies were on the crispy side... but once decorated I am pretty sure no one cared.
This definitely didn't care about the cookie. He came for the sprinkles. I had great sprinkles.
Get your act together. Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner my friend!
