I know Halloween is behind us, but there have been some great costumes shared in the craft blogosphere this week that are worth featuring. When Melissa of Checkout Girl posted a sneak peek at the Fantastic Mr. Fox costumes she created for her daughter and her friend, I flipped out and couldn't wait to see the finished project. She posted up pictures of the complete costumes, and they are wonderful. These are some of my favorite DIY Halloween costumes I've ever seen. Great work, Melissa!
Last night, my kids had an epic Halloween haul. It turns out our new neighborhood is some kind of Trick-or-Treat nirvana, and they came home with a combined 11-pounds of candy (not even kidding). If you have a similar situation at home, whether from your own kids or candy you have left over from handing out, check out this cheesecake recipe from Cakespy over on Serious Eats.
For a sweet treat that embraces the excessive sweetness of the Halloween spirit but also takes advantage of surplus candy (or the cheap prices of Halloween candy the day after), try your hand at this Fun-Size Candy Studded Cheesecake. A rich and creamy cheesecake gets a chocolatey upgrade from coarsely chopped candy in a variety of your choosing.
On this zombie-filled day I thought I would share my father daughter dance with my dad. This was completely thought up by my dad, a football coach, making it all the better. Enjoy!

According to Lucinda from Sew Wrong, if you have two hours to spare, then you still have time to make knitted fox ears for Halloween. The pattern is on her site, so grab some yarn and get busy!
I know it's hard, but try not to sing "Foxy Lady" too loudly while you work.
