Here is another fun Halloween project the kids and I did. It took 3 simple things: Cookies, orange frosting and Kisses! I kept it simple I did not make orange frosting I just bought pre-orange frosting and cookies that where on sale!

We did something like this a year ago and Aiden loved it so we had to do it again. This time we got premade pizza crust, pizza sauce, black olives and pizza cheese. It really was not that hard. I let Aiden put the sauce on. Then I tired to do a web with the cheese. It would have been better if you/I used string cheese but I wanted cheese everywhere. Then you cut the olives in half for the spiders body. And for the legs I just cut 3-4 slices from the half for the legs! Then pop that sucker in the oven for 10 minutes and your done!

Its October and I have been trying to work on doing Halloween projects with my kids. So I saw this one on pinterest and it came out kinda fail for me. All you do is use pancake mix. Follow what it says to make it. Then you put it in the pan and add a little "leg" here and there. This gives it the look of a ghost. Then you add some chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth. Then you should be able to flip it when ready. However that is when I realized they chocolate was melting and left a hole where his eyes and mouth should be. Here is how mine turned out. Kids did not seam to care they liked it anyhow. This is a simple easy breakfast that kids will love to eat.

We have 105 days until Halloween! Have you started looking at Halloween Costumes? I know I have. There is nothing worse then waiting until the last minute to get your costumes, just to find out they are sold out. There are a ton of New Costumes from WholeSale Halloween Costumes. Even fun summer hula costumes. I have been wanting to dress up as Poison Ivy (or as they call it Sexy Lethal Beauty) for awhile now. While I am not a big lets be sexy on Halloween fan this was not over sexy.

This one is simple and easy, all you need is pineapple, oranges and whip cream. I used can pineapples and mandarin oranges. 

Just a few weeks now untill Halloween, are you ready? Are you having a party? Need some cute and fun invations? You should try Pear Tree Greetings .

OK I know I have not posted anything for Halloween the last few days and here is why.... We had to pay our morage so I did not have a lot left over to buy stuff, and two my car tags are expored so I can't drive to go get stuff. However on Thurday that will change. But we did make some other kinds of witches brooms. All I did was use the left over prezzles and cheese sticks. 

OK so I did not make the dough or the sause. But it still truned out great! I bought a pizza dough, molded it into small kid size pizza. Then added the pizza sause, and used the string cheese and black olives. Cut or peal the string cheese into strips, the cut the olives in half and then cut one of the halfs into legs. Not to hard and kids love pizza!

Here is another easy fun Halloween treat for you and your kids. Witches Brooms and all you need is pretezles and resses peanutbutter cups. However out of the 4 we made two of the cups broke. And because I bought pretezles I really only needed to buy the Resses cups.

Day 2 of Halloween month. Today the boys and I did some finger painting. Well kind of. See Aiden does not like to get his hands messy so he kinda was mad making it. So for this one you will need paper, and finger paint. If you have little one that you are worried they might try to eat the paint. Then look for some that are non toxic. Here is Aiden

Well I had fun making bones this morning, and they taste good too. I know you are thinking, Bones?!?! What are you a dog? NO NO no this is yummy bones that you can make with your kids too. It is easy and fun all you need is three things. pretzles marshmellows white melting chocolate Now take the pretzels and put a put a marshmallow on each side. Now you what what Aiden likes to call weights.   This is him lifting his weights. He is going to be big and strong one day. Then you melt your chocolate. The best way to do this is get a post of boiling water and put a glass bowl or in my case another pot over it so you can melt the chocolate without burning it. Then dip the "bones" into the chocolate. Then you can put it on ether wax paper or foil. Let it cool and there you go!

I love sweets! Which might be why I love Halloween so much. You get to go door to door asking for free candy!!! Oh yeah. So when Smiley cookies asked me to do a review on their Halloween cookies how could I say no! Their Halloween cookies are designed to look like Jack O Lanterns with candy corn eyes.
