  It's no surprise how much we love Halloween at our house. I talk about it all the time. I actually decorated for it extra early this year. Extra early, as in, the middle of September...  : /
  Because of that I've confused my kids. Ever since that weekend Emma asks me all the time, "Mom, is today the day we finally get to go Trick-Or-Treating??"
My guilty response is always, "Um.. No Em. Sorry honey. We still have a while." 
  She gets sooo sad every time I tell her that, and it breaks my heart. She's only 5, therefore, has no sense of time. So I guess I've learned a lesson. Decorating for a holiday 6 weeks in advance, is a no no.


  This Glazed Orange Cake is unbelievably delicious! It's very moist, has just the right hint of orange flavor, and gorgeous as well! I decided to add some fun sprinkles to the top after I poured on the glaze. It gave it a cute little Halloween look :)
