Halloween 2008

The breakfast


Ghost pancakes, scrambled goblin brains with assorted other goblin body parts (diced fingers and toes) with a side of vampire blood. Looks tasty huh!
The costumes
Kaylynn: bat girl, Kimberly: Hannah Montana, Jordan: biker boy, Megan: pink kitty
The loot
This is only part of it. Megan wasn't about to dump the precious contents of her bucket onto the floor.

The Witch
I keep telling my kids that I am a witch all year, but only at Halloween do I get to "come out of the closet".
-------------------------------------

Thanks to Lauren (who came up with the idea) and a few of my other weight loss blogging friends (go Yvonne, Chel, Mel, Tori:) !), today I am starting a 21 day fast from sugar. This includes candy, chocolate, cookies, cake, ice cream, sugary drinks, etc, etc. I am trying not to panic. I went 3 months without chocolate so really this shouldn't be too bad. Right? Luckily I will be done in time to pig out on Thanksgiving! :) By the time I'm done, I might really turn into a witch. Wish me luck!
Anyone like to join us?

Cute costumes! Food sounds totally gross, but probably tasted good! I love how you "come out of the closet"! How funny!
Amanda, I think I might be brave! I'll try your 21 day fast from sugar if you be my buddy, you know, like AA? I'm kind of scared, but I think it might be a good thing for me and my lower half! Ha! Ha!

Klin said...

I need a sugar fast, too. I do pretty good most of the time, but it's time to be serious.

I'm in.

You are cute witch. I love the look in that picture.

I somehow accumulated ten+ bags of Halloween candy this year...Boy its good chocolate keeps well. Some of it will become Stocking Stuffers for Christmas I think!

Tori :) said...

Oh- it WILL be bad. I'm positive of that. I will be a witch 24-7. I'm starting tomorrow since I forgot and ate candy today. :)

Mel said...

Maybe we should change the blog title to "Witches of Nov 2008". *giggle*

Hairy Eye Ball!

spooky!

I love the sugar fast month. I think I will join you starting tomorrow (fast sunday is a good day to start, dontcha think?)

Lisa said...

I went two weeks without sugar, and I mean-none. Not a drop of real sugar (it's in everything). Then I caved and ate cookie dough and I feel like crap. (not guilty crap. Sick crap.) I'm back on track and reading labels and not eating candy. :(

How did you make the face in the pancakes? Pretty cute! So are the costumes!

Mary Peterson said...

Amanda,
I fell off the wagon. My name is Mary and I'm a sugaraholic! I lasted one whole day, how sad is that?
Good luck to you though! I know if anyone can do it, you can!

Yvonne said...

Love the witch-look ; )

I love the breakfast--I bet the kids really enjoyed it.

The kids look so cute in their costumes.

I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

ooie-fun breakfast:D

Cute costumes

No sugar? I think you are all brave. Good luck, U Can Do It:)

Lani said...

I'll have to get more recipes from you! We had your zucchinni meatloaf last week and tonight Eden asked if I could make dinner like that sometime. And I love your "gross" Halloween breakfast. Good luck on the no sugar thing. I'm sure it would be good for me, but I know I wouldn't last a single day right now.

Cute costumes! Good luck with not eating sugar. I tried before and only lasted a couple weeks.
