Happy Halloween!

This year, we opted to not do costumes for the boys again. I feel slightly bad about it because somehow I feel like I'm depriving the boys, but in reality, they are still too young to appreciate it. I didn't know where to take them, anyway, for trick or treating, so we just didn't do the whole costume thing.

However, since Eric was home, I did do a Halloween themed dinner. It was really fun. My friend Nicole does it every year and it always sounds like so much fun. She even made an awesome dinner this year with only a hotel stovetop to cook on. Anyway, I found that once you get into the mindset, anything you make can be Halloween-y.

Since this was my first time, I just googled Halloween recipes and this was the menu I came up with. Although it was good, I'll have to work on making a more healthy dinner next year :) We had:

• Mummy Dogs (hotdogs wrapped in crescent roll dough)
• Goblins' fingers (green beans)
• Congealed blood (rasberry jello)
• Moldy mac n cheese (regular mac n cheese that I dyed green by adding green food dye to the water. I ended up making it more green after I added the cheese sauce stuff by adding blue dye (I'd read a tip that you add blue dye because there is already yellow dye in the cheese powder))
