Dawn: "Is that supposed to be you?"

Dave: "No, it's Harry Potter."

Lucy digs in with her fork and her fingers. "Uh-oh!" (translation: "Mommy, I stuck my fingers in the goopy orange stuff and you need to wipe it off now.")

Cleaning up after eating!

Don't forget to brush!

So, in all, it was a great time. Lucy did enjoy the whole process. The idea of parents & kids working together on treats was fun. But I won't be doing the Crayola-markets-disgusting-food-for-Halloween-fun bit again (as soon as Goose went to bed, we dumped the rest of it all in the trash). Next time we'll just make normal cupcakes with normal icing. :)
