I love that my girls are getting older and enjoying the holidays more. With Halloween around the corner, Lola has been practicing saying trick-or-treat. It usually ends with her just yelling, “CANDY!” She’s basically got it down :)
We decided to make some JELL-O JIGGLERS Monsters and it was so much fun! It couldn’t be any easier. Just add boiling water to the JELL-O mix and refrigerate. We used Lime & Orange flavors, then picked out a bunch of different sizes of containers to put our Monsters in. Little bowls, plastic containers, and such. The small guys are my favorite!
Ada’s Monsters that she named Koogie and Nonna:
I bought mini marshmallows and used food coloring pens to draw on bloodshot eyes and other different types of eyes. The girls had a blast picking out eyes and mixing them to make funny looking monster faces! We even added teeth to some, using toothpicks to stick them in.
I just love watching my daughters get so excited about fun holiday activities like this. I wonder if it will become a tradition? My mom said that if she did something for a holiday one year, the next year I would say, “Mommy! We have to do it again! It’s tradition!” She’s such a great mom for keeping them going just for me.
Here are some other fun ideas for creepy Halloween JELL-O goodies:
Have a Happy Halloween everyone! Enjoy this time making memories with your family and friends. What is everyone dressing up as? I can’t wait to show you pictures of our family this year! :)
