Halloween Theme Night

We had ourselves a Halloween party, just us, on Saturday.  We started the evening off with a ghoulish dinner of mummy pizza, boo banana ghosts, and snaggletooth monster apple mouths.

 

We made super slime (equal parts water and cornstarch, and a bit of paint for color).  This stuff was incredible.  If it was on the counter it was a solid, but if you held it up it oozed.  It was really easy to clean up, and so fun to play in.  Dave might have liked it better than the boys.  Thanks to Sid the Science Kid pbs show for this one!

 SPLAT!!  The boys had a great time perfecting their spider splatting skills.

 And we finished it off with making and decorating sugar cookies.  Yummy!

 Today we carved our pumpkins. Tanner had designed multiple faces for us to choose from.  Then Daddy helped cut the tops off and everyone dug in....well, everyone but Colt.  He is not a fan of the pumpkin guts.  Such a texture guy. So he was photographer.

 Then to cut the faces...

 Tanner's pumkin of "frankenstein" was pretty cool, with real bolts and everything!
