give me something good to eat.
Tonight we started a tradition that I think might last for years to come.
I’m calling it the MacGillivray Night of Frights and Spooky Delights.
Except that is kinda long and really hard for a 2 year old to say, so I’ll give it some thought to maybe shorten it. But for now, that’s what we are calling it.
This year, things were simple. The boys picked out pumpkins. While they carved, I was the ghostess with the mostess. I secretly prepared a spooktacular dinner in the kitchen, decorated the table and played some spooky music.
I'm hoping as the years go by, this tradition will evolve.
Maybe each of the kids will be allowed to invite one friend over. Maybe there will be a pumpkin carving contest. Of course we'll have the dinner. Afterwards, maybe there will be a scary movie, or maybe The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, whichever one. I'd vote for option B, but I might not count one of these days. And maybe I'll be the mom that embarrasses her sons and his friends by dressing up as a Witch the whole night. And while they are watching the scary movie that I got out voted on, maybe Austin could scare them with fangs just to add to the memories.... and nightmares! That sounds like fun!
For me, The 1st Annual MacGillivray Night of Frights and Spooky Delights couldn't have been more fun. Traditions are all about being with your loved ones and making memories, and that's exactly what we did!!
A bootiful witcy brew - I melted chocolate and painted ghost faces on some glasses and chilled them in the fridge. Right before dinner I filled the glass with a yummy vanilla shake.
Be Nice to your Mummy - For these little mummy's I made porcupine meatballs, spooned out the middle of a baked potatoe, then criss-crossed string cheese across the top for the bandages. For fun I added pickels and M&M's for the legs and eyes.
