Spooky Food

For the last few Halloweens, my parents have been able to come up and visit us. This year it was just my mom, but we still continued the tradition of "spooky food." The kids loved having Nana here (and I did too!) and the food was fun and delicious. Like I need more delicious and fun (size) food around during Halloween... Mummies.
(I think these are the only things that looked better than they tasted)

Don't kill me mom, I thought you looked cute.
Eyeball eggs (those are farm fresh eyeballs, let me tell ya)
Chili with bugs
(for our filling pre-trickortreating dinner)
I don't think I can get a picture of Elle without that "teenago" smirk.
I'm no food stylist, and besides, it was my second bowl of chili. The bugs were yummy though! Excellent suggestion Maddie.

How fun! I love it! Halloween traditions are so much fun! My boyfriend in HS mom did a spooky dinner with a surprise spider in a brownie. Whoever got the spider won a special prize!

Great photos! I had a terrific time and it went by really fast. I have the flu as a souvenier (sometimes you can't escape the grandchild sneeze a foot in front of your face) but it's totally worth it!!
