Yesterday for Halloween I wanted to make some fun treats to have. I made homemade donuts and butterfinger caramel apples. It was so much fun. The chocolate glaze was to die for. I think donuts and caramel apples are my favorite treats ever. I haven't ever tasted or smelled anything better. Andy told me to never make them again because he ate too many. Here is the recipe.
Chocolate glaze for donuts and cakes:
5 Tbsp butter
4 oz. semisweet or milk chocolate chips
2 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 hot water
colored sprinkles for decorating
To make the glaze, fill the bottom pan of a double boiler with 1 inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. In the top pan of the double boiler, combine the butter and chocolate and heat until melted. Whisk in the sugar, vanilla, and water until combined. Pour the glaze over the cake or dip each donut in and immediately decorate with colored sprinkles.

We left Friday night and went to a Mexican restaurant. Then we went to the hotel and stayed up visiting. We woke up early unfortunately, but had fun visiting again. Then we ate breakfast and went to the outlet mall for a day of shopping. It was very rewarding. Then we ate at Olive Garden. We decided to drive home early and go and see a movie. It was such a nice trip. It was fun shopping without children. We will definitely have to do it again.
I have a friend who is an artist. She paints pioneer pictures. She is going to paint a picture of her son and Baylee. He is kissing her cheek. This is the outfit she got to wear. She looked so cute. The painting will be in an art exhibit in Texas.
The party was ok. They had fun games for the girls to play, but Sydney kept wanting to play on the toys, gymnastic equipment, and in the doll house. They wouldn't let her because they said it could be a lawsuit. It was annoying.
Friday afternoon Andy's work had a halloween party for the kids. They had food, crafts, face painting, cake walk, and a photo booth. Andy had to work so he didn't get to be with us, but we still had fun. 
Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch in Missouri. Andy's cousin Devon and her family also came with us. It was so fun. The weather was great. They had fun activities for the kids to do for really cheap. They had a cow train ride, 40 minute hayride, and a giant corn jump. They had slides, basketball, and a water pump game. We had a great time.
We went to Dan and Linsey's to eat pizza and trick or treat in their neighborhood. Andy's cousin Devon just moved here and her family came too.
