This is Halloween

Well Halloween has come and gone, and... yet again... our Halloween-ing was somewhat lame.  I have the hardest time getting into this holiday.  I love fall, and I LOVE candy, should be a win win.  But ever since I stopped trick-or-treating for some reason my inner excited always skips right from summer to Thanksgiving.  I did plan on doing a fun Halloween night dinner at least, which I was really kind of excited for.  My mom always did really fun creative "spooky food" that I just loved as a kid!

So....... Tah Dah!  The Borup Family first ever Halloween spooky dinner!!!  We had beetles and guts (spaghetti with olives), monster brains (blue mashed potatoes), and a witch's brew (fruit drink with some spinach... for Baby B).

Normally I would NOT consider spaghetti with mashed potatoes a real meal, but on Halloween (or the day after) anything goes.  This isn't as elaborate as the things my mom used to do, I'll have to work up to the good stuff I guess.  But maybe this will make up for the lack of costumes and pumpkin carving this year... better luck next time.

Happy Halloween!
