Spooky Halloween!

I love Halloween! And because neither of us is working, we had to be extra creative without the budget to go all out! We bought Olive's costume: a cute "Princess Leia" Star Wars costume. We decided to be her nerdy parents, which wasn't a stretch.

Our church's branch wasn't doing anything for Halloween so we decided to crash another ward's party!

I think Kevin looks hot in his glasses. He looks like a secret agent from the '50's or something.

And Olive just looks so cute in her costume! It was a little big, so we rolled up the sleeves. We like seeing her with hair, don't we?

Cute dress from Tom, Carly, and Jace. And she is showing off her thunder thighs!

I am still working on projects for Marcus Brothers and made a cute little stitchery for their website. (Hope you like it, Clare!) I just need to add another dot to complete the colon in the time.

This week, I am going to share my delicious chocolate mousse recipe. It is really rich and good by itself, but I love using it as a fruit dip! It's really great with strawberries, pineapple, apples, etc. You could also use it as a filling, or probably even a frosting on cupcakes!

PERFECT Chocolate Mousse

10.5 oz of your choice of chocolate (we love dark!)

1 gelatin packet

4 large eggs

1/2 C. sugar

2 C. heavy whipping cream

1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Or if you're like me, you can make one by putting a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. Stir the chocolate frequently until it is almost melted. Remove from heat and continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted.

2. In a small saucepan, combine 3 T ice cold water with the gelatin packet. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.

3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar together well.

4. Once chocolate is melted, combine with egg mixture while stirring. Add gelatin next and beat well.

5. Place this bowl on a larger bowl of ice so it can solidify a bit.

6. Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff. Gently fold in chocolate until fully combined. Chill for 1-2 hours.

You will dirty a lot of bowls, but it is a tasty treat!

Hope you all had a great Halloween!
