Halloween Costumes for a Fox and a Bear

Hullo!!! Do you remember last Halloween? Little Fox was here for a visit and we came up with a seriously good paired costume idea and then... Rose had a surprise costume for Sandy so we had to readjust... which means... we saved our costumes for THIS year!


We have a clue last year too...

Seeeee....

We are both beary proud of these costumes!

It took a lot of work and stuffy patience... Ready???

Ta-dahhhh!!! We are Ninja Stuffies!!


Complete with throwing knives and swords...

Eh?? What do you think?

We area fearsome warriors... beware!

Ready to do whatever Ninja warriors are called to do...

"Yes!!!"

"Errr... what are Ninja warriors called do do???"

I have no idea... just look fearesome!

Sharp blades for throwing at anyone trying to pilfer our pumpkins (like the local deer).

"Oh that sounds fearsome, for sure..."

Shhh... we are fearsome.

OMG... enough photos already!!!!

"Yes... it's hot and itchy under here!"

Just one more??? You said that several photos ago!!

"That's it human... I am fixing my fearsome stare on you..."

"And sandy has one too..."

Seee.... fearsome...

"Oh thank god! IT is sooo hot in there!"

I know, but it was good!! I had planned this costume months ago and it's great that we could include you in it!

"Yes... ugh... erk... great fun... but I'm stuck..."

So you are... let's get you out of that!!

And that's our entry for the Jerry & Ben's 2024 Halloween Costume Contest!

Stuffie Mail!

I received some mail over the last few weeks... let's get started!


First up, a postcard from Jerry & Ben who went to Quebec! 

Rose would indeed love to visit!! She was supposed to go with her class in Grade 7 but... you know... Covid happened...

Sandy wants to know if Ben can actually understand Quebecois.... or does it sound like Glaswegian English?

Then we have this card... also from Jerry & Ben!

It's a Halloween card!

With a Starbucks card!

I entered their Halloween context you know... in all three categories... 

Cool!! I can have a lot of hot chocolates with $15USD (at least 3 here)...

"Take Rose for a hot chocolate!" ???

Welllll... I guess so... she did help with the cat pumpkin!

Then we have this card from Little Fox!

It's a bearthday card! And has a cat on the front... who looks a bit like Minnie did... (miss that little cat).

Happy Bearthday greetings from LF and the Mice...

Thanks guys!!

I'm impressed that mice sent a cat card!!

Sandy's Halloween-Themed Treat

 Hullo!! I am making a treat for Halloween!!!


First we mix a bunch of this together...

And add a bunch of this...

And then... we mix it all with pumpkin seeds and...

Pop it in the oven!!

Then, we are doing this one...

This is caramel nut bark which is super easy...

All we need is...

Bakers unsweetened chocolate (or half and half with the red bakers box - which is sweetened).

Put it in a bowl...

Nuke in the microwave until it melts...

Add in some chopped up dates...

And chopped up nuts... we used brazil nuts...

Spread it out on some parchment paper and chill!

How's the pumpkin seed thing going?

They are ready!!!

This was Sweet & Spicy Pumpkin Seed Brittle

What do you think? 

It has maple syrup you know!

And the vote is... YUMMERSSSSS!!!
