We have been working on Halloween for a full week now... I am glad to finally have the big day here! Let's start with a picture of my girls in their full costumes (from last week's party at the rec center):
They are butterfly fairies. The best part of these costumes: BOTH cost us less than $15 to make! Thankfully, we had a bunch of the pieces in the girls' toy boxes (including the two leotards, pink tights, Kayla's pink tutu and Emily's antenna). I bought the wings and shoes (which are worn over their tennis shoes) at the dollar store and I made Emily's tutu out of about $3 of tulle and a bunch of free ribbon left over from my SIL's wedding. The last touch: makeup and glitter hairspray!
For lunch I wanted to do something fun. And I also wanted to use my kitty halloween plates. Here's what I made: 
SPIDER BITES and MONSTER BOOGERS!!!
Gross! But so fun! Everything actually tasted fine because the boogers is just mac & cheese with green food coloring. The spiders are pretty cool. I found the idea online somewhere (sorry I didn't bookmark the link) and I have been waiting to do this for today. Here's how you make them:
Easy! Before you cook anything: cut the hot dogs into small pieces (wouldn't cheesy dogs be super cool?) and take uncooked spagetti noodles, break them in half lengthwise and poke four through each piece of hot dog. Then boil them! See? easy! If you like this idea but don't want to make "spiders" then put a whole bunch of noodles through and toss them in an alfredo sauce that has been colored green (or blue, or whatever). Wouldn't that make a fun dinner at a Birthday party??
So... time to bake a pumpkin crunch cake (pics will be up in the next few days as well as a link to the recipe bc it is crazy delicious) for with dinner tonight. Have a safe and FUN Halloween!
