Fun-O-Ween Day!

This year the kids and I decided to have our own fun day the day before Halloween, so we could really start getting into the Halloween spirit. Richard from across the street came over and the fun began!

First we at pumpkin and white chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. The fiber and Vitamin C is not a bad way to start off the day, if I do say so myself!Then we read stories (We're Off to Find the Witch's House, 5 Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Fence and Where's Baby's Pumpkin?). We then took some time to "dance it out" by watching and following our family Monster Mash webclip.

Next we had snack time with special Halloween trail mix (popcorn, crackerjack, reses' pieces, graham cracker cookies and pretzel rods) with "witches blood" (apple juice) or "goblins brain" (chocolate milk). Next we watched "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown".
Finally we ate a lunch of grilled cheese ghosts with monster pieces (mixed fruit) and ghoul's fingers (pickles).
It was so much fun and made me thankful I get to stay at home with them during these precious years. :)
