Stay at Home Mom

Here is a fun idea for Halloween Night. We used to have a Mystery Dinner every year at our church for all of the kids who volunteered over the year. We would be treated to a formal sit down dinner and the parents would serve us. The only thing was that we had to choose 5 menu items for each course and each menu item was in “code”.

On the menu you might order a SPEAR and you would end up with a fork. It was always funny when someone got spaghetti, pudding, soup, a cracker, and their drink for their first course (and no silverware).

My daughter is having a party this weekend and we were trying to think of something fun and different to do and I remembered the mystery dinner. So after several online searches we decided to customize our list to a Halloween theme. We started out with the menu items and then tried to give them Scary Code Names.

Here is what we came up with:

Have you guessed what each item is?

Here is the PDF with the menu items and their corresponding true menu item

Have fun with this. Start with your menu then create your own “mystery dinner”. Let us know how it turns out. Send pics!

Happy Halloween!

Bundle up and take the kiddos outside tonight for an awesome show – and it’s all free.

METEOR SHOWER

We love watching meteor showers. We pull out the sleeping bags and bundle up and head out to a spot where the lights are dim ( for best viewing ).

Tonight the moon is going to be pretty bright so you may have to deal with that but it is supposed to be a great show.

Kids love spending time with Mom and Dad hanging out in the back yard just talking and searching for the stars.
