Halloween Dinner

For Halloween, we had a creepy kooky dinner. I surprised Shawn and Ellie with all of the decorations and food - they had no idea what they were in for! The table was all spooked out, a CD was playing of eerie sounds to help with the mood, and there were cobwebs strung from all over the ceiling. They both walked in my apartment beaming as they looked around, and they both said, "whoa..." Mission accomplished.Our first course was scrambled brain salad (acini de pepe fruit salad dyed a gross peach color). I forgot to take a photo of the brains. Next up was witch's eye pie (pizza with cheese & olive looking eyeballs). It was a hit, and turned out better than I thought - it actually looked pretty gross! Here's a photo of me enjoying my witch's eye pie. Yum!Here's a photo of Shawn and Ellie enjoying their meal. Shawn was so funny with the little rats - he loved them and kept putting them all over his body. For dessert we enjoyed baby tarantulas. They turned out SO cute! They are mini muffin sized cupcakes with black licorice legs and mini M&M eyes. Yum!
Many thanks to my mama who helped me come up with many of the genius ideas!
