Mummy Monday

After rave reviews last year, our Halloween Witch gave Mummy Monday another go round today! October 2012 337 October 2012 338 October 2012 342 The mummified menu consisted of bananas on sticks, white chocolate dipped pretzel rods and crescent roll wrapped hot dogs.  For all the gory details, hop on over to last year’s post.    Knowing how the littles love some suppertime entertainment, the thrifty Witch picked up a darling Truth or Dare game in the dollar bin at Target.  (Have y’all noticed that I always make a super big deal of anything thrifty?  That’s for Honey’s benefit.)  October 2012 339 It made for such a memorable night that I’m pretty sure we’ll be doing it again tomorrow!  Highlights included: Mommy cackling like a witch (yikes, that is pretty horrific looking in retrospect) October 2012 343 Honey walking like a zombie October 2012 348 The PCP slithering like a snake October 2012 351 And the baby doing the Hokey Pokey October 2012 352 Anytime we have lunch-able leftovers I always go ahead put together meals for the next day.  The littles are already excited about “Mummy Tuesday” and I’m thrilled to shave a good five minutes off the morning routine. October 2012 358 As for the rest of our day, the baby had a morning AND an afternoon play date, and I was able to sneak off to help the PCP’s class “defy gravity” as a science lab volunteer at school.  science The baby’s tennis lesson got called off about ten minutes in when limbs starting raining down on the court.  I personally could not have been more relieved, though I heard a few other (obviously eskimo-ish) moms complaining.  It was FRIGID and the perfect excuse to warm up with some hot chocolate at home.

  2. Amanda,
    Totally off topic but, I just place my order for a few of the cherry pit heating pads that you featured last year. I actually ordered a few for Christmas gifts and of course one for myself! Can't wait to get it especially with this crazy weather!
