We had a busy day planned and not much time for C's birthday, so I made every attempt to make it special. I surprised he and his early morning seminary class with maple bars and chocolate milk this morning. His favorites. Then I made him "Sister Makanoa's Cake" which is actually "Better than anything cake". You know, devil's food cake with Eaglebrand poured over it, caramel sauce on top of that, cool whip and then broken Heath bar. Pure goodness. He does have good tast. Then it was on to making Burek. Remember my last post about my friend Jasminka? After writing that, I looked all over on line with hopes of finding a recipe similar to hers for the Burek we had come to love. After looking and looking I found a blog of a woman that shared the recipe and detailed pictures of the Burek. I was ecstatic. Almost to the point of tears. I made Burek for lunch today and surprised him with it when he got home for lunch. His eyes lit up and he was sooo excited for the food he never thought he would have again.
As the day continued, I made two pans of Pumpkin Streusel Cheesecake Bars for Trunk or Treat tonight. They. Are. Divine!! Then, I continued to work on Halloween costumes. That's all I've done for days. You wouldn't necessarily know it by looking at the costumes, but, they were a lot of work. Sewing, mending, unpicking hair off a mask for wolf hands and tail, painting, spray painting, making and axe, more sewing, dying, tying, doing hair, etc. But...everyone looked great. It was all worth it.

Exhausted just reading of your day. But the rewards were shown in the pics. And a mighty striking Cinderella lives at your house. Be sure the Silver Money Guy knows that. Silly me, I bet he has already noticed.
