halloween saturday

every few months my sister and i get together with a bunch of gals for "girls night". we hang out at my house, eat lots of food, and play silly games. this time, in the spirit of the season, we had "ghoul's night"... costumes required. (see the photo on my last post) most notable - chrissy for making her own snow white dress.

of course the goodies had to be festive as well, right? so we had rice krispie treat bats, dipped in chocolate with red m&m eyes. and a bowl full of gumball eyes (that had blood inside) and gummy skull & crossbones - plus the hershey's halloween mix (peppermint battys!) and other random sugary goodness. AND ghoul's night happened to fall the day after jonah's birthday, so we had a little frankenstein cake for him. plus taffy apple salad. and i tried packing a cheese ball in my brain jell-o mold, but it didn't hold the shape. but it still tasted really good. :) and jessica brought this fantastic pumpkin dip. and becca (not me, the dead prom queen becca) had made popcorn balls. and chrissy brought chocolate chip cookies. and april brought her chili cheese dip with the good chips. mmmm...

and i learned i don't like ginger snaps. but i like gingerbread cookies. curious.
