Our Halloween Dinner

 For several years now, I have had several friends tell me about this little tradition they have at their houses to have a special Halloween feast. 

And I have loved it and wanted to copy ever since.

This year, I told myself that I would do it, no matter how crazy life was.

Once again we hit some serious madness this past week with schedules, Jesse's studying, sharing one car, work, etc. and I have to admit that I had already thrown in the towel on this idea. Until Miss M reminded me on Thursday afternoon that we hadn't ever done our "Spooky Halloween Dinner."

So what was a mom to do?

Well I threw all the kids in the car, went to the grocery store and tried to come up with as many things as possible that could be tied into this dinner.  All in all I was pleased with the results and have convinced myself that this will be a necessary tradition to be repeated each year...just maybe with a little more planning :)

 Our table set up

 "Worm Pie" {aka: Lime Jello with gummy worms}

 "Brains" Decoration {aka: cauliflower in colored water---thanks Bryn!}

 Pink Lemonade with a "floating hand" {aka" ice frozen in a glove}

 "Bandaged Fingers" {aka: hot dogs wrapped in tortillas with ketchup}
