Party! It was fun. And exhausting.
:fryingpan:
The mummy wrap game–how fast can you use your roll of toilet paper to wrap your mummy? Then there was pumpkin relay–pass the pumpkin and get it back to the front of the line first. And pass-the-pumpkin–a hot potato type game.
Lots of cake, cupcakes, chili dogs, Coke, and chips were consumed by all.
The evening ended with a game of dodgeball and a water balloon fight. My 13-year-old, Football Boy, played dodgeball and water balloons against ALL the fifth graders.
Guess who won?
Graveyard cake!
Bake a chocolate cake mix. Ice with chocolate icing. Crumble fudge chocolate sandwich cookies on top. Using oval-shaped vanilla sandwich cookies and an icing pen, write fun stuff like RIP, Jack the Ripper, Eat Me, I Am Still Alive, Marry Me, etc on the cookies and plant them in the “graveyard” like tombstones. Sprinkle on some candy skulls, pumpkins and wormies. Fun cake! The kids loved it.
