On Monday after family night, we decorated some putrid looking cookies. I was going to take some pictures of them but the cookies were eaten as fast as they were decorated.
Licking frosting while simultaneously pouring sprinkles takes big time concentration.

I really should have done the bath and jammies after the cookie escapade. At least she had sweet dreams!
Even 11 year olds dig a cookie decorating date once in awhile.
Hubby giving us all a clinic on proper frosting techniques. The ratio of frosting to cookie must be no less than 100:1.
Tonight, thanks to a great idea from awesome Super Mom Kelli, I decided to start a new tradition of a Frightful Feast at Halloween. Unfortunately, tomorrow is the official Hallowed Eve and we have our State Quarter Final Football game at 3pm, followed by a cRAzY night of small town trick-or-treating. I knew it would never get done. So tonight, on Hallowed Eve's Eve, we celebrated with some creepy cuisine!
We started with a "bone chilling" appetizer...

We followed it with some "monster finger" foods...
We "wrapped up" the meal with our mummy pizzas...
And hydrated ourselves with some "gutsy" bug juice!
#1 wasn't so sure any of this grub was edible.
#2 couldn't wait to dig in. (And no, I do not let my children wear Under Armor's version of the wife beater and chains around their necks in public. This is his "chillin" outfit.)
#3 never could be convinced that any of it was kosher.
#4 (also in her "chillin" outfit which consists of ripping apart a super cute hairdo and throwing on a too-small tank top) tried a bite of everything just so she could get to the good part...
"Brainy" cupcakes. Yummmm.
While I was uploading our dELiciOuS photos, I came upon the following. Apparently #3 and #4 got a hold of the camera and took turns playing "diva" while their sibling worked the lens. I left these photos in the order they were taken.
"Superstar"

Nothing says "STUD" quite like an oversized pair of spider man snow boots.
"Express yourself"
"I'm coming for YOU!"
Watch out world, this chic's got some killer Kung Fu Panda moves.
A final shot with the boys...
...and girls.

That photo shoot is AWESOME!!!!
And I can't believe you did all that for dinner...my kids were lucky that they got ANYTHING tonight!!!
(you should really sign this into PSF. It's a PERFECT entry!!)
Loved the photo shoot. At least it was of your kids. Most of the time when Lindsay gets ahold of the camera she takes pictures of the floor and the tv and dumb things like that. i am lucky if she takes one out of ten of someone.
That dinner looked fun. I might have to try that next year. I have at least one child that likes to eat, so it would be worth it. Maybe Lindsay would try it if it was fun like that. If i get organized tomorrow maybe I will try to do it then, but I don't think it will happen with it being Halloween day.
Ok, you win the super fun mom award!
Happy Halloween!
awesome little party - love the pizzas!
Love to see the world from the kid perspective!
Your dinner looks interesting.... not sure I could convince myself to eat those monster fingers! :)
That spooky feast looks great -- though I'm not sure I could eat anything made to look like a finger. My kids sure could.
And I agree with the frosting to cookie ratio. That sounds just about right.
wow...you are very creative in cooking :D
Mine PFS post in HERE. Hope you have time to visit. Thanks.
You guys are like a real family... and everything. Nice.
Oh wow! I love the shots with the kids! They are so fun! I admire your family so fun and full of life. My guest at my horror party would definitely love the treats you have for Halloween!

WOW what a CREATIVE Mommy!! Love it!
You did great on the dinner! I love the brain cupcakes!
Cute photo shoot by the two littles! They did a good job. I'm so impressed!
OK... you are sooooo making the rest of us look bad. I aspire to be you. In fact, could my kids adopt you for Halloween next year, just for the memories??? LOL
Seriously, such cute ideas.
Happy Halloween!
Love the "Sweet Dreams" comment. :) Adorable pictures.
I loved the photo shoot! How fun!
Great dinner idea, you're too cute!
So when do you have the time for all of that? It was a super cute idea, but I don't have the patience for all that work - way to go!
WOW. You are freakin' awesome with the food!
I'm going to have to keep all of those things in mind when I throw a halloween party in the future!!
way to go on that dinner, that is sooo cute!!! my girls would love that! how fun.
that was my brother and his wife dressing up like my parents. they did such a good job at acting the part, it was hilarious.
You rock, what a good Mom you are!
