One Spooky Afternoon

In September I told the girlies that they could have a Halloween Tea Party with their friends.

And then I promptly forgot all about it.

Until last week when Miss Adi reminded me.

And reminded me.

And reminded me.

So, here is what I threw together in three days:

The place settings (and I spelled half of the girls' names wrong on the pumpkins).

Dried Zombie tongues, or chocolate-dipped Pringles. I used a lot of karo syrup and sprinkles to get the candied look around the bowls, plates and cups.

Frankenstein's bolts, or chocolate dipped marshmallows. There was a lot of dipping going on the day before :)

Spider bread with cheesy dip. Hardly any of the girls would even try this, and I had made two bug loaves. I really upset over this since I had to have great control not to eat the bread myself after I had made it the day before.

And the witches brew (sprite with green food coloring). After I poured some into their cups, I came around and sprinkled a very little bit of petrified bat wings (kool aid mix). This had an awesome (and totally unexpected) reaction of bubbling...

The prom queen,

and the vampire bride (who refused to wear her veil).

And here's the thank yous to give out...


And now Adi is already planning next year's event.
