A Little More Halloween Fun

Halloween has arrived and we are ready to celebrate.
Although delayed in getting any decorations in place I am pleased with what I accomplished.
Here is the front porch awaiting its evening guests.














And a few prized decorations adorn the interior.
On the kitchen windowsill are the sugar skulls Bishop and I made a couple years back alongside some simple votives.


Breakfast was served.
Little sausages were served alongside the traditional Halloween-y donuts.




 Lunch was the traditional jack-o-lantern pizza, fruit, veggies, and our favorite orange sherbet punch.

After lunch we got busy decorating some monster cookies.
Just simple round sugar cookies and a variety of frostings, candies, sprinkles, some fondant and candy eyes - aren't they great?

















 They all had so much fun creating.
Then we decided to share the fun.  We made a goodie box for Maceo's friends.
Then he and his girl were off to a Halloween party...

...and Bishop was off for some trick or treating with friends,
all while I stayed home passing out candy.
It was a fun day full of laughter.
I hope your day was filled with laughter as well.

Happy Halloween!

A Little Halloween Fun

Last night we had a little Halloween fun with our friends!

We had chili dogs and a slew of Halloween-y treats.
My spider infested deviled eggs were a hit.


As were my big eyed mummy pretzels.

My friends pumpkin ginger cake pops were so good. 
Believe it or not, yummy spider webs.



The zombie cake pops are the cutest zombies I have ever seen.
We also had some Halloween-y science experiments.
The girls tried all sorts of substances to hasten the melting of these hands.
Of course, salt was the most effective.
The girls also had some fun making the pumpkin spew blue foam.


And, everyone got in on the dry ice bubble making fun.


It was a good evening...
...full of fellowship and Halloween-y fun!
