Happy Halloween! Again, this is not my favorite day of the year, but I make the best out of it!! My friend and I decided to make painted pumpkins for our class party. Didn't they turn out great? We had fun making bats, webs, jack-o-lantern faces and a few with dots- so cute!!
I signed up for a healthy treat for Gianna's party, so I made this fun face out of fruit! It was fun, and the kids and I ate more fruit than we put on the plate!! Getting the kids involved was a fun activity!!
Tonight we had a Halloween party before trick-or-treating. I made cute dip holders by carving out small sugar pumpkins... super easy and makes a statement. I also attempted chocolate caramel apple slices... not as easy as I thought they would be. I suggest dipping in caramel and then chocolate to help them harden correctly. As you can see they caramel and chocolate slipped off because the apple slices are moist. I will have to work on these for next time!!
Check out our carved pumpkins this year.....Daddy was super busy so I did all 3! Each kid picked out the shapes and helped me draw the mouth for their individual jack-o-lanterns. I was inspired by the kid's party this year, Wizard of Oz, for my pumpkin. I found a silhouette online and created my template. I think it came out pretty decent for something that wasn't meant for a pumpkin stencil!!
I also made these adorable rice krispie pumpkins by adding a tootsie roll as the top, and a few even had a monster popping out. I also made my famous chocolate pretzels because they are just soooooo yummy!! Happy Halloween everyone... off to trick or treating!
