Front Porch Coffee Talk

in Front Porch Coffee Talk on 10/27/22

It’s officially Halloween weekend! We have a busy weekend of Fall Festivals and Halloween Hooplas and I have really enjoyed getting into the Halloween spirit this month. It’s been a busy one here so let’s grab our coffee and catch up for our Front Porch Coffee Talk!

HALLOWEEN PARTY IDEA: MONSTER MASH MOCKTAIL

I made a Monster Mash… 
it was an after school smash. 👻 🧟‍♀️

My boys love to order fun kids drink when we go out to eat- the more candy piled in the better!  So I surprised them with a Monster Mash Mocktail as an after school treat yesterday. They were fully amused. (Pro Tip: ask Alexa to play Monster Mash when serving). I had bought those Monster Peeps without really knowing what I would do with them and was happy to find a reason to put them to use! 

Monster Mash Mocktail:
Blue Hawaiian Punch
Gummy Worms
Monster Peeps

MYSTERY READER

It was SUCH a joy to be the mystery reader in Sweet B’s class this week. I really put some thought into my books and wanted them to be Halloween themed. Second grade is still such a sweet age… and I cherish these opportunities. 

Here are the books I read. They were all super cute for Halloween! 

The Good, The Bad and The Spooky- I found at Target. We had Creepy Crayon and Creepy Carrots (have you read Creepy Pair of Underwear!??) and I borrowed Fright Club and Dragons Love Tacos The Sequel from our library. 

PUMPKIN CONTEST

Speaking of the book Creepy Pair of Underwear, our school library hosted a pumpkin book character contest and the kids did such a great job. I was there to help receive them all and had waayyyyy too much fun displaying them and admiring them. 

Sweet P made this one…

And the whole school winner was this Elton John- no surprise there… just look at this awesome pumpkin! 

and here were a few more of my favorites! 

 

PULL APART CUPCAKE CAKE

Our Fighting Irish football season is still in full swing! Another Mom and I hosted the “tailgate” after the game the other night and she ordered this adorable pull apart cupcake cake. It. Was. A. Hit. 

CUTE TARGET SWEATSHIRT

This cute puff sleeve sweatshirt is a KEEPER! It comes in 12 colors and is $25. You can shop it HERE.
