Private Halloween Party

It doesn't take much to make us happy around here.  Yesterday afternoon I turned on some music while I cleaned, and both my boys jumped up and started to dance.  Before I knew it, Grayson had a home-made robot costume on (power ranger mask, one sparring glove, and a power ranger boot cover) and he was like, "Mom!  It's our own Halloween party!" Of course, every good spook-day shindig needs some creepy treats, so I made a snack so gross they didn't even care that it wasn't candy.  I got the idea from this magazine. 

As I'm sure you can tell, it's apple slices, peanut butter, and slivered almonds (all of which I happened to have in the pantry).  I put on my best transylvanian accent, and told the boys, "Frresh from Frankenshteins lab-or-a-tory, two moonsterr mouths, e-specially forr you.  MUAH-HAH-HAH-Hah-ahh!"

They loved them.  And they loved our private halloween party.  Too bad the house never actually got clean!!

As much as Grayson loves to dress in costumes, you can imagine how much he likes Halloween. He starts talking about his costume in July every year. :)
