HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM OUR LITTLE BUG!
We’ve lived here for just over a year now. There are still many people in our neighborhood/ward that we don’t know that well and would like to know better. So, I decided to be domestic and make a Halloween treat to take around to our neighbors. We probably should have done this last year when we first moved in but better late than never….right?
I made Witches Brooms and Hats. Here’s how it went down.
WITCHES BROOMS
THE INGREDIENTS: Flour, Brown Sugar, Butter, Vanilla, Salt, Pretzel Rods, Shortening, Water, Chocolate and Butterscotch chips.
MAKE THE DOUGH: Mix the butter, brown sugar, flour, salt, water and vanilla together.
SHAPE THE DOUGH: Roll out 20 balls. Attach the balls to the pretzel rods. Shape the dough into desired shape and press with a fork to make broom bristles.
BAKE: at 350 for about 9 minutes.
COOL: Cool completely on wire rack 
CHOCOLATE: Melt together chocolate and shortening over low heat. Spoon over brooms. Top with a drizzle of melted butterscotch chips. Let cool completely. 
THEN…I made some WITCHES HATS to go along with them.
THE INGREDIENTS: Fudge stripes cookies, Heresy’s Kisses and Frosting (I got lazy and used store bought)
PRESENTATION: Wrap up with a cute bow and hand deliver 
Happy Halloween Everyone!
Hannah has been rolling for almost 2 months now. I’ve written about this. We thought we found the solution by tucking a rolled up burp rag along her side. That lasted about 3 weeks.
Then we moved onto something bigger…stuffing a blanket up next to her. That lasted about a week.
We knew we needed a bigger barrier. We rolled up a bath towel with part of it unrolled so she could lay on it and not kick it away. This worked for about a week.
Today we put her down for a nap. We put her down un-swaddled (which we’re trying to transition her to).
(Notice how Jonathan positions her in the crib…and notice the green towel)
We laid her down around 1:45. At 2:20 she was still making noise. She wasn’t crying, just talking to herself, so we let her be. For ten minutes I didn’t hear anything so I went into check on her and see if she finally fell asleep. I found her like this:
When we went in to check on her she was still fighting it a little…she’d lift her body up, move her head, then collapse back down. She was just so tired she didn’t care. She slept for 3 hours.
