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.
