October Goodies

I love Pinterest for so many reasons and one of them is because I have about 25 different goodies to make with my kids.  I'm getting started this weekend!  Spook Mix, Mummy Dogs and freak pudding are up!

You may not know, but if you have an abundance of boys in your house, they really like things to be freaky and gross.

The older 2 just aren't too into pumpkins and the occasional happy jack-o-lantern.  I love making these goodies (and crafts too) around Halloween because it gets my teacher fix filled.

Fried Squirrel

Over the weekend, my oldest 3 boys went hunting with their Daddy and Poppy.  Of the several things they managed to kill, one was a squirrel.  Sweet.  Thankfully, Poppy cleaned the squirrel and then sent it home so I could cook it up.  Last night, I did just that.  I didn't get a picture and I so wanted to!  I tossed the pieces in flour, salt, and pepper and then fried it like chicken.  There was so little meat on the bones, the boys had to chew around to even get a bite.  My oldest said it perfectly when he described eating squirrel:  if I was stranded in the forest and needed to eat to survive, I would eat a squirrel.  I bet it would taste better then.  And I bet he's right!  I'm not interested in cooking squirrel again, thanks.
