Nutter Butter Ghosts

These are the only thing about Halloween that I look forward to. I used to make them with my mom.

1 Pkg Nutter Butter cookies
2 12 oz pkgs white or vanilla chocolate (one package of cookies uses about 1 1/2 bags, so if you're doubling the recipe, you really only need three)
Couple tbsps shortening
1 pkg mini chocolate chips (Hardly any of these are used, so if you're multiplying the recipe, 1 pkg will be plenty)

Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper. Melt the white chocolate chips with shortening until smooth. With a fork, dip the nutter butter cookies into white chocolate, completely covering the cookie. Tap to get air bubbles out. Set on prepared cookie sheet and arrange the mini chocolate chips into a "face". Refrigerate until coating is hard, about 15 minutes.

Kielbasa Chowder

4-6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion chopped
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 14 oz can beef broth
1 14 oz can chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into the 1/2 inch pieces
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can corn, drained
pepper

In a large pot over medium heat, combine potatoes, onion, celery, beef broth, chicken broth, and milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, brown kielbasa sausage in a skillet. Stir in sausage, condensed soup, and corn and continue to simmer until heated through and slightly thickened. Season with pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Justin and I think this would be really good in a soup bowl with a little grated cheddar cheese over the top.

Clothing Explosion

Before I got kid locks on the dressers, Liam used to pull all the clothes out of his and Alana's drawers. While I was trying to clean up one time, Liam decided to play with Alana:
