Happy Halloween!

Last night we went to Main Street for some trick or treating. The boys stayed home. Apparently they are too old to go do that anymore. Elaina and Emma had a good time. We did have some unfortunate run-ins. The Gecko Gecko was there (a big puppet costume) and at Sonic they had a big shake costume. Elaina didn’t react too well with the big puppets. I think Emma got a bit upset that we had to detour so far around the puppets. haha

Today in celebration of Halloween, I made some gross food for lunch.

First we had Octopus on seaweed. Josh said it looked more like squid. I really don’t know. I’m no sea creature expert. I just know it looked really gross. In case you care, it was hot dogs cut halfway down into eighths. Then boiled as normal. I didn't put "faces" on them because the kids were hovering waiting to eat. The seaweed is just ramen noodles with food coloring in the water as it boils.

We also had Mummy toes. They didn’t wrap too easily, so I only did a couple of tortillas worth. They are Little Smokies wrapped in tortilla strips.

Next we had bones with blood dip. I made up some pizza dough and shaped it into bones. Then I sprinkled them with parmesan cheese. The blood dip is just pizza sauce.

Finally we had some yummy fingers. They are just a cookie with almonds on the tips. I wasn’t too impressed with this recipe. They flattened out too much. I’ll use a different recipe if I do this again. :}

The kids enjoyed the gross food.  Maybe we will have to do it again next year.  :}
