Halloween day

Please forgive me for not writing before day about our Halloween activities, but I have literally been exhausted. All of the activity of that day has really worn me out, either that or growing this baby this week is absolutely exhausting. I feel like I could sleep all day! And that is pretty unusual for me. Well this isn't a complaint fest... on with the day. :-)

Please step into our Halloween...

Our day started with yummy orange pancakes. The kids said they couldn't even tell they were orange... guess I should have added more food coloring. Then for snack time, Josiah and I assembled the spiders and vampire blood. He was supposed to keep it a secret from the other children but honestly, what 3 yr old do you know that doesn't broadcast everything that is told to him. So proceeded to run through the house saying "spiders, spiders, eat spiders."

For lunch my sister and I assembled our mummies in coffins. Really they were jsut hot dogs wrapped in biscuits, but what kids doesn't love those, so of course those went over wildly. We rounded the meal with mac-n-cheese becuase it's orange and it was an easy add-in. And the children had orange colored sprite, which again I could have added more food coloring, becuase Justin thought it was red or something.

For snack we consumed "rotten apples" in the afternoon. Then for dinner my sister made some really cute meatballs with sliced olives on top, to look like eyeballs. So we ate "worms and eyeballs" for dinner. Acutally spaghetti and meatballs, and it tasted fabulous! We also made "vampire repellant", garlic bread of course. And Brain Cell Delight. It was actually blue Jello with a mixture of cottage cheese and blueberries and food coloring to make the mix look gray. It was actually quite tasty. It all went over really well. The children scarfed through dinner becuase they were so excited about going trick-or-treating though. I wish that I had a picture of dinner to show you, but I don't have one on my camera. Maybe my sister will post one.

After dinner the children went out with the dad's (Jonny and Dave) around the neighborhood to do the duty. They were gone for quite a while, and while they were out my sister and I took turns answering the door the some 200+ kids that we had come trick-or-treating to our home. The kids had a super day and fun was had by all!

Cool dude! My little hippy!
