Happy Halloween

I had a little fun with dinner last night.

For the main course, we had Jack o' Lantern brains and blood

And for dessert we had bats

The kids enjoyed the surprise -- and Austin showed us how bats are supposed to sit before promptly biting its head off.

Now, before you accuse me of going all Martha Stewart on you -- let me assure you that although I'm creative enough to craft these dinner items -- I'm not creative enough to come up with the ideas on my own. The main course idea came to me via a simple Google search for Halloween fun food and the cupcakes decor was in this month's Today's Parent.

It was fun -- I even created a Halloween dinner music soundtrack to go with it! Monster Mash anyone?
