I was never much of a Halloween person, Christmas has always been my favorite holiday to decorate for. Last year, however, I decided I'd have a get together in October. Once I got going with ideas, I was hooked. There was no limit to the things I could make and my creativity went into overdrive.
I was going for a "mad scientist laboratory" look. Most of the specimens I used were toys the boys had. The awesome tentacles meant for your fingers we picked up at Archie McPhee's for Ronan on his Birthday. The syringes were from their Doctor Dreadful kit.
For drinks I made a kiwi punch/cocktail you can find here and poured the mix into test tube shooters. I also made a kid-friendly version for the little scamps. I made labels and added them to simple black plastic cups, a fun way for everyone to keep track of their drinks.
The kids loved the fun names for the baked potato soup toppings.
The boys were nice enough to loan me their electric light for the day to jazz up the lab theme.
