Halloween

 I realize Halloween was two months ago but I am playing catch up on the blog today.  My kids love holidays and Halloween is one of  their favorites.  Carving pumpkins, trick or treating, Halloween dinner, and making crafts is always on the agenda.  This year  Liv and her friends decided they were going to be M&M's.  We spent an afternoon (with help from the silhouette) doing freezer paper stencil M's on their shirts.  The kids did a great job and had a lot of fun.

Bellar as a fairy - she HAD to have a tiara and wand

Yearly carved pumpkins - dad and Liv did her initials.  I carved Tangled for Bellar.

Even the dog had a costume - thanks to the kids!

 Our Halloween Dinner this year consisted of band-aids, ear wax, snot nose burgers, and a spider mocktail.  I have to say the drink was a bit too sugary even for my tastes.  The kids loved the band-aids.  We also made our now traditional bloody toes and jello brain.  Neil thought the snot nose burgers were a bit too much on presentation even though we eat burritos all the time at our house.

Band-aids made with graham crackers, frosting, and red decorating gel

Ear Wax - sucker sticks, marshmallows, and caramel dip

Snot nose burritos - tortilla folded to look like a nose

Jello Brain!
