Friday! Friday! Friday!

Early start today! I have a lot to do! Girl scout camping tonight :)  My co-leader and I will be sleeping under the stars with some girls from our troop. It's supposed to be a beautiful evening for the bonfire, and we all love that. It's only an overnight trip; I'll be home late afternoon tomorrow. The theme for this weekend is Fall Fun!We were told there will be cider tasting, crafts, pumpkin picking and more. What I like about this trip is I don't have to really rough it. I mean I appreciate there are bathrooms! We stay in a three sided structure that has a wood floor and canvas sides and they prepare the meals for us so we aren't cooking ourselves. It's organized and the girls love it. We did it last year and now we have more girls joining us. Caitlin packed her ghost stories book, her haunted house joke book, bingo, mad libs (HAVE TO HAVE MAD LIBS!!!) and the assorted stuffed animals that can't bare to spend one night away from her :) Camping in the Fall is my favorite cause I don't like heat of the Summer, there are no bugs except for an occasional spider, and being among the trees in the woods just makes me appreciate even more the colors of the season, the crunching of the leaves, and all that.

I wonder if I find one of these in the woods!

I saw a great craft the other day and started making a bunch of them for Caitlin's party next Friday night:

How cute are these??? I was really excited to find this as I love doing these types of party favors and some of them are getting repetitious. This was a brand spanking new idea! They are stacked Halloween oreos in cellophane tucked inside a witch's shoe! There was a pattern for the shoe. If anyone would like it just give me  a shout out and I'll send you the link. The only thing I didn't do was add the tag which has a quote from the Wizard of Oz. I just used lots of pretty ribbon but you could print up whatever you would like and make it into a tag. It'll pare up nicely with my witch's hat candy bags that I make every year:

Yesterday I made all my popcorn cups. This is a shot of them filled from last year. It's amazing how the addition of a pair of googly eyes can transform a cup into so much fun!

I kept picturing these guys all mumbling to each other as I was making more and more and gathering them on the counter.... I think I heard one of them say to another "move over..you're crowding me!!"

More Halloween work to do but tonight and tomorrow it's all about the Girl Scouts and my Caitlin!

Have a great weekend!
