We live in a College town in the South where football is king, so those of us who live here have learned to work around the local football schedule. We were scheduled to play a home game on Saturday evening, so the City moved trick-or-treating to Friday evening. My boys went with Star Wars this year.
My Clone Warrior and Darth Vader!
Darth Vader wins!
My boys.
The boys had Friday off of school for Teacher Work day, so they spent it in the kitchen helping me prep for our Saturday evening Halloween/Football Watch Party. Here they were taking the wrappers off the candy corn hershey kisses.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!I invited my Mother, a wonderful Girlfriend and her son over Saturday night for a small party.
Some of the grub (from the plant clockwise): Chocolate covered marshmallows, Leaping Lizard Lime drink, Candy corn and Ghost cookies, Bread snake fro sandwiches, Carrot Fingers and Chips with Dip, and Chex Halloween Buddy Mix. Missing: The sandwich fixings and the Mummy Pizza's the boys made.
Leaping Lizard Lime drink with skull cups! (lime sherbet, uncarbonated sweetened lime juice and lemon-lime soda). The cups were $1 each at the Dollar Tree.
Candy corn cookies and Ghost cookies (Candy corn cookie recipe can be found on an earlier post) (ghost cookies are nutter butter cookies dipped in melted white candy and mini chocolate chips for eyes and noses). I like the candy corn hershey kisses, but I was not impressed with the cookies, I probably won't make them again. The ghost cookies on the other hand were a hit with everyone and now one of my favorites. They were sooooo good!
My snake! It was supposed to be frozen french bread, but my local Walmart didn't have any, so I went with dinner rolls, which I think turned out really well. I was supposed to stuff it with the deli meat, lettuce, cucumbers, red pepper, etc. but when I started cutting into it (see tail!) I decided it was too much work so everyone just tore off a roll and made their own sandwiches.

They loved these.
It was a long week, but a great week and a wonderful weekend with family and friends. Next up: THANKSGIVING!
