Last week was Nick's school "fall" party. Remember, the one I volunteered for? Well, it turned out great. Thanks for all the suggestions. I did finally come up with a "craft." It was hard to think of one that did not involve paint- I just can't do paint and ten three-yr olds. Sooo, I finally came up with the idea of decorating cupcakes. It's kind of like painting, but I don't have to worry if they eat the paint.
Have you tried these ice cream cone cupcakes? Fill about 3/4 with cake batter and bake at 350 degrees for about 20-30 min. You just have to keep an eye on them. I just line them up in a 13x9 pan and they don't fall over.
I also made up some goodie bags for the kids. I made chocolate dipped pretzels. Very fast and easy.
I also made peanut butter spider crackers.
Stella was there, too, and she pulled a chair up to Nick's table and enjoyed the party with all the big kids. Clean up was easy with the plastic party table cloths. I threw all the icing away because every kid was licking it. If I volunteer to do another party, I will probably do the exact same thing- just with different colored sprinkles!

Great job Kate! Everything looks excellent. I really can't wait to see the pictures of the kids for halloween. And in the spirit of Halloween, I will refrain from leaving smart ass remarks on your blog today. Love you.
Oh and what's Stella so mad about in the picture at the top?
AHHHH! THAT IS SO PERFECT! Great idea... decorate with FOOD. DUH.
Dan bought our Halloween candy yesterday. Almost all chocolate. It is NOT NICE to have bags of chocolate laying around the house in front of a very pregnant lady.
Haven't heard from Dhana. I think she is still coming today.
I have lost my phone again. I think I am losing my mind.
Looks like the kids had fun - smiles = a fun party! Great job, Kate - Love you, Mom
