5th Grade Halloween

I have to be honest.... I got a phone call last week that Braydon's class was in need of a room mom because the current room mom had moved away...I really didn't want this job!  With Halloween a week away, I decided to take on the party for the sake of the kid's.  I was a bit overwhelmed last week with all the planning, communicating with parents, purchasing supplies, and making the food.  However, I had SO MUCH FUN!!!  I was back in my teaching mode :)  Braydon called Jeff after school to inform him that the party was "Awesome!"  It was nice to meet other parents and be apart of Braydon's class.  Although it was a long week, it was certainly worth it!

Scary Punch with floating skeleton hand!

Mummy Hot Dogs!  The kids loved these!!!

"Finger" Food - carrots & dip... large carrots created a hand

Witch Fingers - cheese sticks (my mom made these!)

Halloween Parade...Braydon is an 80's Rock Star!

Here comes the kindergartners... Rylan is a soldier!

The third graders are parading... Bryce is a werewolf (against my better judgement!)

Playing "Monster Stomp"  - The kids each had two balloons, one tied to each ankle and they had to stomp each other balloons.  When their balloons were stomped(popped), they were out.  Braydon won in his group :)  The kids loved this!

Enjoying food and friends!

Banana Boat Dessert!

Found this fun, EASY recipe in the Family Fun magazine yesterday.  Rylan had my niece over for a playdate and she stayed for dinner too.  I decided to try these Choco-Banana Boats out for dessert...oh so tasty!!! 

Monkeying Around...banana smiles :)

Strategically placing as many chocolate chips and marshmallows as possible!!!

Yummy!!!

Love the smiles...Ry and Lizzy are best pals :)

Bryce and Braydon

Thought I'd share the recipe for some family fun on your grill :)

Choco-Banana Boats...
Cut a slit in a peeled banana.  Stuff in as many chocolate chips and mini marshmallows as you can fit!  Wrap the foil around the banana and place it on a grill for about 5 minutes.  Best eaten with a spoon and lots of napkins.  Caution...lots of smiles and silliness!!!
