Jasmine, Annie and Skeletons, Oh My!!!

Once upon a time, in a far away land, lived a princess named Jasmine, her friend little orphan Annie and their favorite little skeleton.






They loved candy and decided they needed to go on a mighty adventure in search of their much desired sugar high! They set out on their way and came across a festival of sorts and decided to take a look around. At this festival was all kinds of fun and sugary sweetness. There were ghosts to make, faces to paint, apples to bob, and cakes to walk for.
Princess Jasmine surrendered herself to the sugar and enjoyed the festivities, while little orphan Annie opted for a much needed nap after such a long journey. The skeleton took everything in, and whilst he did not desire the sugary sweetness that his fellow ladies did, he still enjoyed himself immensely.











After little orphan Annie's nap, she arose and followed her dear friend Jasmine as they continued on their journey. The walked and walked and every once in a while would stumble across a town and beg for some of their sugar. They did this accompanied by a knight and his wife they met along the way to keep them safe.









After this leg of their journey had passed they met up with some of their friends, a space man named Buzz, a lion, and an Indian princess. When they were all together this group of travelers decided they were pretty much invincible and wanted to see how much candy and sugar they could accumulate! They ran from village to village and filled their goody bags with multitudes of sugary sweetness. They found all kinds of chocolates, and suckers, and various other goodies. They were cautious travelers though, and only went to the villages and towns that were well lit and well taken care of. After they had exhausted all of their resources they journeyed back home, where they examined all of their sweet treasures. They enjoyed some of their spoils and soon were wearied out from their travels and drifted off into dreams of dancing candies!












We had a wonderful Halloween, and hope everyone enjoyed their's as much as we did ours! We also enjoyed homemade chili and sugar cookies and had an awesome time spending time as a family!
