So, along with 2 other parents, I am hosting the Fall Party in Cody's class this year. Halloween is not one of my favorite parties, but I like to get in there for the first party so until I get to know the other parents I know what will be safe and who I can trust. So in the division of responsibilities for the party, I naturally got the food. So first I think we will order pizza, what a treat, right? Then I will bring some carrot sticks and grapes so I feel like there is something healthy there, even though no kids will want to eat it, and I will make some cute Halloween sugar cookies.
As you know I like to involve the kids in party planning so I run this whole idea past Cody, and it gets the big NO. He does not really like pizza. I know, what kid does not like pizza? And the answer of course is Cody. Is he allergic to it, no. He does not really like the sauce, because sometimes is squirts out from under the cheese and sometimes the cheese gets a little brown if you cook it too long, and why do people put other things on pizza besides cheese anyway? I think I have said too much already.
So I ask Cody what he would like for us to have for lunch. I remind him that it is a Halloween party and we are not having anything too far off the theme. He decides on pumpkin shaped sandwiches. ( He wants them to be grilled cheese and his will be but the rest will be ham or turkey, shhh don't tell) With that he wants the Halloween shaped pretzels, and he wants me to bring my apple corer, peeler, slicer and slice apples for his friends to see me do it. And for dessert he wants Krispy Kreme donuts that look like pumpkins.
That lunch will be safe and fun for sweet Cody. And I have to give up on my idea of convincing him that hot dogs wrapped in breadsticks to look like mummies would be much cuter and go with the sandwich...oh well. It is his party not mine :-)
