Those nights twice a week when Austin is at school can get long and a little boring. I try to think of fun things that Dax and I can do together and make the time go by fast. So, tonight Dax and I had our first "cooking" session today, and I use the term cooking very loosely (you'll see why). I pulled a chair up to our island, got out my biggest Halloween bowl and let him do ALL the work. I simply supervised. No messes, no clean up, and no yucky hands. You guys have to try Dax's 1st Annual Halloween Party Mix! This is sure to be a fun tradition in our house each year. This is how it all went down...
4 cups Lucky Charms
1 bag Halloween Plain M&M's
1 bag Candy Corn
2 cups Carmel popcorn (don't tell...I used Fiddle Faddle---remember my thing about no messes?)
1 cup small pretzels
and vuaaaalaaaa! You've got yourself the yummiest snack that you didn't even have to make!
I half adapted, half created this little mix in my head. Dax loved it and it was so fun to do with him. He really couldn't mess anything up by pouring a bag into a bowl and I got a big mixing spoon out for him to stir it all together. What's even better about this mix is you can substitute the Halloween candy for any assorted festive candy and it works all year long I've decided. This was one treat that was definitely kid tested and mother approved!! I couldn't quite get Dax away from the mix! Who am I kidding? Let's be fair. I was the one who couldn't get away from the bowl...I am eating for two here! Happy Halloween!

My kids would love that snack.. ANYTHING with sugar.. I might have to make that. Brody use to say I want Chucky Larms instead of Lucky Charms, so now that is a joke in our family. He loves that cereal.
What a fun treat for Dax. I might just have to do something like that with Dylan. I'm sure she'd love to help too.
yummm!!!!!!!!!
That looks so yummy, we might have to try that too.
