Happy Halloween!

We are having a Halloween party at our place tomorrow, so tons of fun prep to do today!

A group of us are dressing up as Mario Kart characters.  Hubby will be Mario, but I decided to be a kart-less character, the cloud :)

I bought all my materials at Target last night, including:  white sheet, white balloons, black and white poster board, and fishing pole.  Wish me luck pulling it all together tonight!
By the way, if you can avoid it, do NOT go to Target today haha.  Last night was crazy busy with all the last minute halloween shoppers like me.






Our party will be a preparty before going out (no dinner), so I spent some time yesterday looking for inspiration for fun, spooky drinks and snacks.  Here's what I'm planning...



Caramel Corn (recipe here). Made this last year and there was none left the next day.  It's a bit messy and temperamental of a recipe, so I'm repeating the mantra "just have fun" while making it :)












Homemade guacamole and Halloween chips (recipe here) - I make this guacamole recipe all the time, but I'm looking forward to making chips from the tortillas we already have in the fridge!  Bought some Jack O'Lantern cookie cutters from Target yesterday.











Did you know there's such a thing as BLACK vodka?  Pretty much made for Halloween drinks :)  Martha Stewart has a bunch of fun black vodka drink ideas.
