16 Days Until Halloween!

Today's lunch is a Haunted House theme... featuring some of our favorite things we might find in a haunted house.  Because of this theme, the lighting of the picture is dark to give a spooky effect.

I got the food safe markers I used to color her sandwiches at Party City... they are a wilton's 5-pack and were on sale for 4.99!  SCORE!

She has a spider web and bat made from our honey oat bread and honey peanut butter (YUM)  the spiderweb cookie cutter doesn't indent much into a sandwich, so until now, I hadn't used it for a sandwich... now I think we will be using it more often in the fall.

She also has some pretzels with a rubber spider crawling on them and a bat ring flying over them.  Spiderwebs, spiders, and bats are favorites in a haunted house.

She also has a jack o'lantern with a spider ring crawling on it...and a monster's mouth with it's green rotted teeth... monsters and jack o'lanterns are so much fun in a haunted house!  They are Gala Apples, btw, which are a favorite in any house.  Also, sometimes in a haunted house, you bob for apples.  The pretzels could also be the treat (since some people give out bags of pretzels for trick or treaters) that you get at the end of the trip through the haunted house.

She also has some extra celery tucked under the apples.  She has peach mango kool-aid (because she's been needing miralax more regularly to keep her softened and prefers a flavored drink.  Juice fills her up and you get better fiber from whole foods than you do from juices, so I water down some kool aid and everyone is happy.
