April Fool's Foods.

The only thing that I really did to my kids this year was freeze some cereal, milk, and spoons in bowls the night before and wait to see their reaction when I gave it to them in the morning.  It was pretty fun but I wished that I had the energy to do more.  I was looking up some fun ones and a lot of different food options came up.  THIS page has three different pages of options. 

It got me thinking, I want to host a party where we eat lots of funny looking or tricky foods like these.  They remind me of the spaghetti and meatballs cake I made for my son's party.  I'll have to post that in another one.   Tell me what you think.

This is made with candies, ice cream and sauce, and peanut butter logs (what the heck is that? I wondered if it was butterfingers with the chocolate taken off.) I saw that someone in the comments had used coconut donuts instead for the faux chicken.

This is also a sweet candyish dessert dish

I saw a few variations of this, and have always planned on doing it, but I guess there's always next year.  This is meatloaf and mashed potatoes as frosting on top.  I also saw this as a layered cake or pie idea.

This is tootsie rolls, caramel squares, yellow m&m's and I think marshmallow or something.

Laffy taffy(they used air heads), sugar wafer cookies covered in peanut butter and cornflakes, and strawberry jam.

Breadstick dough or I've also seen it done with sugar cookie dough

All dried fruit, nuts, and fruit roll ups. I think this one is awesome!

Eggs Galore.

HERE's a link to a ton of fun ideas for egg decorating.  I'll post a few that interest me.

Boy Bowties.

I love Boy Stuff.

It's hard to find cutesy, crafty stuff for boys.  This is one that sure has potential.  Found from HERE.

Paper Christmas Trees.

I found this idea HERE.  She was talking about a little craft groupy thing she has, which sounded fun.  The greenish hippie inside me loved it.  She got the idea HERE and there is a tutorial in case you don't know how to fold paper. 

Filter Christmas Trees.

 I think it is so cute!   I found it HERE.  I decided a while ago that I wanted to have a snowman collection for the holidays.  You know how people usually have one or two things that they focus on such as Charlie Brown stuff, worldwide Santa's, etc.  I want snowmen. 

But this year, I have decided that I am going to add Christmas trees. A variety of them.  I'm not sure yet, but I think I want them to be homemade. (By me or my family, so please, no buying me anything, unless it's super cute and you can't pass it up)   Did I mention that this is made of coffee filters? I know, cool, right?

Wood Photo Wall Collages.

I like the look of THIS photo collage.  I would love to do it one day.  The only reason  I would hesitate is because it doesn't seem very reusable.  With a frame, you can change out the pictures, these don't seem as easy, but I guess you could maybe put a photo on top of the old one. 

Party Games.

I recently read THIS post about a pj, pancake, and old school video game party they had.  I'm going to keep it in my list of parties to host one day. 

One game that I was particularly fond of was a skittles game, I forget if it had a different name.  It's like chubby bunny if you've ever played that; essentially you shove as many of the candies in your mouth as you can till there is only one person left.

I can't wait to find a time to make some other unknowing people play it with me. :)
