It’s almost here and I have no idea what to do about Halloween costumes, but I do know that this 5 Minute Halloween Snack Mix is totally happening!
What are your kids going to dress up as for Halloween this year? While you think on it, don’t drool over this 5 Minute Halloween Snack Mix…
I’m totally and completely drawing a blank for ideas this year. Cade is totally not up for this whole dressing up thing this year. Which is fine, 9/10 men aren’t, don’t you think? Last year we were Maverick and Charlie from Top Gun and I thought that it was so cute and fun until we started walking around the block with our kids to Trick or Treat.
Don’t worry, everyone thought that I was our darling neighbor, which is fine, she’s beautiful but totally not the blonde I was going for. Haha! Now that I think about it, maybe I should have Cade and I actually dress up as them this year!!!
We’ve tossed around the idea of being Chip and Joanna Gaines, the Beckhams, maybe Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake when they matched in all denim?
You can see why Cade isn’t super interested.
I need to keep thinking.
In the meantime, do you dress up for halloween or is that just a kid thing?
Halloween Snack for a Party
Every time there’s a Halloween party or even worse, a school Halloween party I stress over what to take. You see, I don’t do cute, and Cade DEFINITELY doesn’t do cute, but pinterest makes you feel like you totally have to. So what’s a good Halloween snack for a party that doesn’t have to be all cute and decorated?
5 Minute Halloween Snack Mix!
Guess what, your guests and the kids at school will like it way better than a jello mold brain with fake blood. I mean, that is pretty cool actually, but listen, this will taste better and only take 5 minutes!!
