Tonight was Riley's Halloween party at school. I can't get over what a difference a year has made! They seemed so grown up, eating pizza and watching a Halloween movie (Igor) while we prepped gingerbread haunted houses for decorating. We started with a kit from Target. They give you enough cookie wall and roof pieces to break apart and assemble for 3 houses.
We beefed it up with extra candy and icing. You pretty much have to. It came with like 6 pieces of each candy. We added candy corn, mini M&Ms and orange icing. The kids did a great job decorating.
Mike and I took turns helping Miss Roo. This was the kick off of 3 parties in a row for us, it's a very festive weekend. There can never be too much Halloween. I think Riley's house would have made Fancy Nancy proud. She worked really hard and then immediately wanted to eat it. She did a lot of the work herself. Icing as glue was an exciting discovery. I don't know how spooky the final product was, but was very pretty.
