I am finally feeling like a person again! That swine flu is darn nasty stuff. I didn't feel horrible for the last two days, but I had zero energy. So basically I accomplished nothing for five whole days. Wowser!
This morning I went to my son's kindergarten Halloween program. After that I helped with the class party. I was supposed to be in charge of a food craft, but I turned it over to my friend Heather just in case I didn't make it. Thanks Heather!
We had the kids make cookie spiders. They had a great time both making and eating these fun treats.
Here is a picture of my son putting together his spiders:
Here is the finished product:
Spooky Cookie Spiders
1 package Oreos (we used Double Stuff)
1 package pull & peel licorice
Red hots, smarties, or M&M's
a tube of decorating gel or frosting to attach the eyes
Use a pair of clean scissors to cut the licorice into 2" lengths. Pull apart to make 8 legs. (You will have one extra, which of course you must eat.)
Twist open the Oreo and press the legs into the cream filling. Replace the top. Attach the eyes with decorator gel. Have fun eating your spiders!
