{happy halloween!!!!}

Gerard had his cub scout pack meeting Thursday night and we all went to watch Gerard receive a patch, some beads, a leather for his belt and some other stuff. Each den got up in front of the whole pack to tell them what they've been doing the last month. Gerard's den was the first to go (they're the youngest) and Gerard was the one who grabbed the microphone and spoke first. He is NOT shy, and he was very cute and proud of himself.

Yesterday was Gerard's Halloween party and parade at school.

Then we had a little Halloween party here last night. I love Halloween, and I think the kids and the rest of the guests enjoyed all the Halloween-inspired foods as much as I enjoyed making them. In the interest of getting the pictures posted, I'll post them now and post recipes, directions and links later or tomorrow for those of you who might be interested.


I bought "Bat Wings":


I made mummies:


And roasted bones with blood:


Devil's eyes:


Gooey ghosts (PB&J for the kids):


Jack-o-lantern bites:


Candy Corn pudding:


M&M pretzels:


Witch's fingers:


We also had "Severed hand cider" (apple cider with frozen hands floating in it) and a witch's cauldron filled with beers, or "Witches Brews".

I hope everyone had fun!



Happy halloween!
