    A good mess is always the sign of a great party! Monti was very sweet when she thanked me at the end of the night for letting her have the Halloween party but when she asked about having another one next year I could only say “Maybe.”

    I think I could have just made dozens of cupcakes and the kids would have been absolutely satisfied. Of course later in the evening after coming off their sugar highs the kids came crawling back for some cheese, crackers and raw veggies.

    I labeled a variety of containers containing different items you might find in a witch’s laboratory. Items like unicorn blood, elven breath, and rat brains could be found scattered all over the basement ledges and shelves.

    The basement was set up to do our witch lessons. I had the challenge of making the room dark enough at 5pm to be “witchy” while also allowing the kids to see enough to do their experiments. Black poster board in the windows and funky lighting did the trick. I had to pre-measure and label…
