Happy Halloween!the red hare

Remember last weekend when Ben and I hit up the Goodwill for our costume supplies? No one guessed we were going to be…

The Tortoise and the Hare!IMG_8794 (600x800)

After work I grabbed my costume supplies, picked up Ben from work and headed to my mom’s for trick-or-eating.

She made tortilla soup because she thought wanted to be healthy (and normally I kinda sorta do too). So, I had a small bowl…IMG_8797 (800x600)

But, my dad ordered pizza and that salad that is basically all meat. He got the salad for me because he’s nice and thought I wanted to be healthy and eat a salami salad. Thanks Pops.

I have been craving pizza since the Long Beach Mary so I enjoyed a piece (picked off the sausage because it’s not my thing).IMG_8804 (800x600)

And I  made Halloween Funfetti cookies. They were ‘well done’ and in this case that doesn’t mean ‘done well’.halloween funfetti cookies

After fueling up I went out trick-or-treating with Matt. He was the headless horseman. IMG_8806 (600x800)

And the tortoise wins!IMG_8810 (800x600)

Snickers is the most popular candy tonight! My mom says it’s because it was on sale.

“Monica, have a Snickers you get a little cranky when you’re hungry.”halloween candy

Ben and I just had a big debate over what is better – your favorite candy or fresh cookies and milk.

What do you think – Cookies or Candy?

    I think freshly baked cookies is infinitely better than candy. Unless… it’s freshly made homemade candy. NAH, I’m still going with cookies.

    Cookies for sure! Although I will say I did make these sugar cookie bars last week that had M&Ms, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in them and they were ah-mazing!

    Considering that I had a bowl of candy that went wasted b/c NO trick or treaters came by, and I STILL had the urge to make chocolate chip cookies w/ milk last night, I’m going to say DEFINITELY cookies and milk!!!!

    That’s a tough one, but I think the answer is definitely cookies sans milk. I’m just not a fan of the white stuff!

    Why pick between the two when you can have both? Fresh baked cookies with candy pieces in the batter.

    Hard to say…if we’re comparing candy and store-bought cookies, then candy. If it’s homemade, from scratch out of the oven, then cookies.

    You two are adorable. And, you’re looking fab!!

    Candy includes chocolate right?(I always get confused with it being only hard-candy, ha!) Anyway, chocolate wins. Chocolate ALWAYS wins! And, I absolutely can’t stand the taste of milk!

    Cookies always! I can’t do really sweet stuff, especially when it’s fruit-flavored. I guess Hersheys bars are okay…
