Preschool Horror Fest

My mom left town today, which is hard on the kids (Calen especially) so we had to plan on some things to keep him excited for the day. Luckily, it was Halloween Movie Night which I will explain later, so he had all day to look forward to that. But first, Calen and I made this foam Halloween pirate ship that my inlaws sent him recently. 

So now about Halloween Movie Night.
 
My next door neighbor and I decided that October should not waste away without exploiting the dozens of bad Halloween movies out there, particularly of the G and PG variety so that our kids don't have nightmares for the next twelve years. So, every weekend this month we've had a "Halloween movie night" with the kids, featuring one or two Halloweenie movies (some good, most corny and dreadful) and a spooky snack. It's really the best way we can celebrate the spookiness of the Halloween season for the ages 2-7 variety.

So far we've seen the basics like Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline or some other equally terrifying flick. Who needs Return of Chucky when you have gorefests like The Chipmunks Meet The Werewolf? I know. I had nightmares all week.

Tonight's features were Toy Story's Toys of Terror and Spooky Buddies. The snack of the night was apple slices on a stick with caramel and bug sprinkles (because it has to be creepy to be effective, you know). And we had a bonus craft, foam ghosts with foam stickers. 

Serious scare-fest around here, folks.
