How 'bout these cute little critters?
These are so easy that you could whip them up just in time for an afterschool snack or dessert for tomorrow.

And when I tell you they are simple...they really are simple. You have the option of making your own jello in jars OR you could buy the jello snack cups at the grocery store to make it even easier!

Monster Mash Halloween Treats

Looking for a cute treat for a Halloween party or play date?  These Monster Mash pudding cups are perfect for either. They’re easy and fun to make and not to mention, the kids will be licking their bowls clean!  

These are most fun when you can let the kids draw their own faces on the cups, so make sure to make the pudding ahead of time and then pour it in the cups after the kids finish creating their spooky faces. 

Logan’s Monster Party (or ‘the party that almost wasn’t’)

It is my year for birthday parties in horrible weather I guess.  Yesterday started out with DUMPING snow and stories of doom.  I had, of course, spent days on this party and had everything but the food finished before the morning even started.  We went out to get some last minute things and we figured the roads were ok as they were not icy at all.  Then the snow started dumping.  And when I say dumping I mean flakes the size of Texas raining down so hard you could hardly see.  I started to panic.  Should I cancel?  Am I asking everyone to risk their lives to come to my 5 year olds party?  All of this flashed through my head 50 times as we went through the Starbucks drive through.  We got back out on the roads and even though the snow had added slush, it was still just slush.  There was no ice under the snow at all.  Annoying, but not dangerous.  So I plowed ahead.  And I am SO glad I did.  The afternoon turned out perfect and the party was wonderful!  So let me share with you a few of the details.

This apple monster idea I got from Family Fun is definitely a fun and healthy snack your kids will love. 
You need: apple, slivered almonds, toothpicks, mini marshmallows and some green cookie icing.
