Spooky Spider Whoopie Pies

I absolutely adore Becky and her kids.  Love them! Before moving to Oregon I'd see them occasionally and think Becky was fun and her kids overwhelming, and then just move on to the next thing, but this time around I've had a lot of downtime and Becky has been really busy getting her little family ready for their move to California (so sad) so I feel like I've been able to get to know them a lot better. Becky asked me to watch her two youngest, Solomon and Elijah, yesterday while she went to lunch with some friends, and when she got back I was having too much fun to go home so we made Spooky Spider Whoopie Pies instead! Elijah was napping but we did get a lot of help from Solomon (albeit a lot of batter ended up on the ground and in his stomach).  I wish I had taken more pictures! But it was hard enough taking the few I did on my phone.

I like the one with the three of us but they're still admittedly not great shots. I asked Becky yesterday what her kids full names were and Solomon's is really long, with two middle names.  I commented to Solomon that he had a really long name and he paused and though about it for a minute and said "Sol-o-mon.  Yeah, that is a really long name!" I guess he hadn't really been paying attention to my conversation with his mom.  He is so cute! I'm really sad to see them go, although I am the one who inadvertently taught Elijah how to climb out of his crib...so maybe the feeling isn't too mutual. Love you guys!
