Check out How We Had A Happy Halloween House Party with Rice Krispies!
We began the night before, me and my son made a ton and I mean a TON of Rice Krispie treats. House Party provided us with 4 boxes of cereal-we used 3 of the boxes and made about 5 trays of treats. The provided Rice Krispie bowl scrapers worked really well to cut square treats! I cut shapes of Ghosts, Pumpkins, Frankenstein Heads, and people shapes-to make their own Dracula, Zombie, Mummie, ect.
Other fun foods we had were a Pumpkin veggie platter, cute little sandwiches, and Cheese balls.
When the kids arrived all decked out in their costumes, I had them decorate their cups with stickers and write their names on them. I poured them some Spooky Halloween Punch and gave them a fun pumpkin straw. Then we started on decorating the Rice Krispie treats. I provided orange and chocolate frosting, gummy worms, gum drops, mini M&M's, and a ton of different sprinkles.
Each kid made their own "contest treat" and the adults judged them at the end. I used the Rice Krispie "Best of" award certificates for each treat to be a winner, each one winning a different category; For example: most hilarious, most creepy, ect. And each kid got to pick one of each prize, from the prize bowl - Which included: stickers, Halloween rings, fake Dracula teeth, glow bracelets, and glow in the dark lizards. They also got to take their winning treat home with them.
After this, we played "Guess The Monster Parts" where I had a box with separate containers of gross feeling foods inside. The kids took turns feeling each item, then had to guess which part of the monster they thought it was. Blanched grapes were eyeballs, homemade "Gak" was snot, carrots were bones, cooked pasta were intestines, and baked cucumber slices were ears. This game was full of laughter and many "ew!!"s haha. Then the kids did a coloring contest where they had to color their pumpkin and draw a face on it, all while their eyes were closed!! or at least not looking at the paper ;)
The winner of this won a box of Rice Krispies cereal!
We all had a lot of fun at our Halloween party!
I think it turned out really great!!
*Thank you House party for providing me with cereal, bowl scrapers, and a chef hat, to get this party started!

I was in the garage and noticed a bug on the floor...which I was ready to squish because I thought it was a spider! I had my son grab the flashlight so I could take a better look at it, and I noticed it was a little bee, just laying there. I put a clear cup over it (so it couldn't fly at my face and sting me lol) and I also wanted to see if it was even still alive. The little guy slowly started walking around, so I slipped a piece of paper under the cup and my son carried it to our backyard. We set it down, removing the cup so it could go where it wanted. The bee started crawling, but then tipping over and falling everywhere. I quickly made it a small bowl of sugar water and the next few happenings were amazing! It crawled right up to the bowl and started drinking. I saw its tongue out and everything haha. It drank for a good minute, and then crawled onto a piece of moss next to it.
You know when you just have one of those days...you could really use some chocolate but there's none in the house? Well I decided to clean out our pantry and organize it a bit more...sorting the boxes of cereal and crackers, checking expiration dates, and re-stacking the oatmeal packets...
