So the kids and I all are struggling w/congestion issues, so going out Trick or Treating has been kinda up in the air. Well Hurricane Sandy sealed the deal. Way too cold/windy/rainy to go out. So what to do?
Well, here is how the monsters and I celebrated!!
While Skylar was at school, I had to quickly figure out what we had on hand to create our lil "party".
Chairs and blankets generally spell fun, right? Ok now we have a great spot for watching a movie! Hmmm.. what else?
Activities
*watch a movie
*carve a pumpkin
*roast the seeds
*make a ghost panting
Menu
*orange pop (give a cute name)
*Zombie Brains (pasta)
*Monster Munch Balls (orange colored/flavored drizzled w/chocolate)
that's the plan!
ETA: ok, so the plan actually went pretty well! Here's our night!
|
Dinner: Dyed green wheat noodles, marinara sauce and boiled eggs. (removed the eggs before we ate, lol) |
|

Sophie's Pumpkin Carving Session |
|
She was confused... |
|
I quickly grabbed her Binky... she's a "straight to the mouth" kinda kid |
|
cold, squishy, slimy |
|
GREAT sensory project though :) |
|
It even stretched! |
|
Then I put her inside. She wasn't a fan, too cold |
|
Next came a pumpkin seed craft. (kids didn't want to eat them, lol) |
|
what goes inside a pumpkin? |
|
Seeds of course! |
|
He counted as he did this!! Love when he does that |
|
Finished Pumpkin |
|
Next he just wanted to play in the seeds |
|
So I took a few pics of Sophie while he played |

Mum Mum face |
|
Skylar's art |

I said "add at least 5 seeds" (Washing and roasting them was too time consuming, lol, I wanted them to do SOMETHING with them) |
|
Her finished project |
