hallowe'en surpsises!

so, amidst the drama in life these days, was a nice and much needed surprise.Today I had a student in grade 6 who came to me and upon entering, claimed to have 'found' this package on the back of my car.

huh, a likely story.

I accepted the bag from his hands and read the 'warning' lable and corresponding image and decided that i could risk looking at it's contents. (it smelled good so why not?!?)

lo and behold, i found nothing slimy or messy but instead, witches fingers (or troll toes as i think the resemble!)

I've never seen this idea before and i think it's marvelous!!! i was touched by my student's thought of another person (me). i also think these cookies are so simple and very effective for the occasion, i'm surprised i've never seen them before now.

i have every intention to try this another year and pass on the yummy goodness.

btw: shortbread cookies with almonds are yummy!!

maybe bella thinks so too?
