Happy Halloween 2015

Halloween was on a Saturday, which meant the urchins could stay up late, and go trick and treating later in the evening.

Quinn helped sort the M&Ms for making the creepy crawlies.  Why are there always more orange ones than yellow ones, and who has OCD?
Oscar's favourites were the eyeballs, so we had to make a few of those.
We had made "worms" a few years ago.  This time we allowed 2 hours in the afternoon, to squeeze them out of their molds.  Delicious!


Tighe likes the bones, so these were on the menu as well.
My favourite are the ghosts, yummy, yummy, yummy!

Even the spiders got into the spirit of Halloween.
 Vampire wee, and frozen hand were the refreshments.
 The head in the jar scared all the urchins who needed tomato sauce with their severed fingers.

 The menu for the evening was simple.  Creepy crawlies, severed fingers and sausage rolls.  The main was elbows in blood (pasta and sauce).  Dessert was everyone's favourite:
Potty Poo, Worms, Bones, Ghosts, Eyeballs, and Dirt dessert.
Po, Tane, Andrew, Patrick, Kahu, Oscar, Quinn, Anneke, Nicole, Cameron, Christian, Kauri, and Adam were all ready to go trick and treating.


Quinn ordered cinnamon flavoured candies from the USA.  The chilli cinnamon jellybabies caused a little confusion, as his guests expected them to taste like raspberry!

Happy Halloween

I have come to realise, that we not only make memories for our children, but we make memories for other children as well.  Our Birthday parties and other Celebrations form part of their childhood too.  Every child should have a special childhood memory.
Recently our house has been called "the Celebration House" by children.  It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to enable fun, wonder, and laughter in children's lifes.
Quinn's school friends asked if they could help in Halloween preparations this year, and Labour Weekend Monday worked well for that.  They made creepy crawlies, bones, and suggested Teddy vehicles.  McKinley started making Teddy Boats!  The white chocolate for the bones didn't get smooth or runny enough, so we made ghosts instead.

 On the menu for 2014, Mummy pizzas, severed fingers, ghosts, more ghosts, bones, creepy crawlies, Vampire Pee or Wee, (it was L&P), Teddy vehicles, eyeballs, jackolanterns, and RIP grave muffins.

Several "monsters" joined us in the celebrations; McKinley, Christian, Caleb, Oliver, Patrick, and Andrew.  It was so noisy, I think they scared the scariness away!
