Having tested some cupcake designs earlier, I decided the best ones were the Owls and the Creepy-Crawlies, so I got the stuff for those and we started with those. Then we improvised, with extra help from a bag of lolly facial features.
First up, here's the punch. Another round of frog spawn punch...
...and a second go at eyeball punch. The colour wasn't as good on this eyeball one because I mixed in some juices and soft drinks with a less vibrant colour.

Then later the colour leached out of the black jelly at the bottom and turned it all disgusting. Plus the eyeballs were starting to disintegrate.
Secret Skeleton was fun. We had struggled with knowing appropriate age books for kids, but it seemed to go ok.
Then we started on the cupcakes. Owls and creepy-crawlies (including chocolate-coated sultana ants)
Then the moustaches and mouths came out!
Oh no! I ate a bug!
Early Christmas Special - Demon Rudolph.
And with the most mutated mouth award, demon zombie panda.
I wanted to try painting on pumpkins this year for a few reasons. One, as I mentioned in my introduction to this year's Halloween series, is having no desire to set fire to anything in my house. Also it isn't dark when trick-or-treaters come. Also, good carving pumpkins are not easy to get or cheap here. I carved a Queensland blue once and it was very hard physical labour. So I picked a pumpkin I like to eat, and we painted instead.
Can't wait to eat some pumpkin.
I blatantly copied mine from the colouring-in sheets I'd printed for the kids.
What a fun Halloween-y day! Although I think we all had severe sugar crashes.
