Halloween party ideas

[Tonya]

I'm having a Halloween party this year. The plan is to focus on the kiddies from 6pm-8:30. After that, my little sister will *attempt* to tend to the children while the adults enjoy themselves. We're also going to pitch tents and have a camp out to discourage drinking and driving.

Anyways, any good games, decoration, or recipe ideas? And advice on how to control the kids, especially after 8:30? I was thinking a few movies and popcorn.

Where's Zippycat???? She made the funniest cat litter cake and monster punch! I still remember those photos!

--A SPECIAL CAT RECIPE - KITTY LITTER CAKE!
(Created by Mike and Linda Will)

At least once a year I have to share this recipe
with you - just so you won't forget about it and
just in case some of the newer readers haven't
seen this yet. To some of you it will be totally
"gross" but to others it will be a fun thing to
do and a good joke. So, if you've seen this
before and don't approve, that's okay, just pass
it on by and get to the next article. It's all meant
to be in good fun. (No scolding e-mails, please, okay?)

So, if you're ready to bake - show the world what
a "purr-fect" cook you are.

--INGREDIENTS:
--1 spice or German chocolate cake mix (include
ingredients listed in mix)

--1 white cake mix (include ingredients listed in mix.)

--1 pkg. white sandwich cookies

--1 large pkg. vanilla instant pudding mix (include
ingredients listed on mix.

--green food coloring

--12 small Tootsie Rolls

--1 brand new and clean kitty litter box

--1 brand new and clean kitty litter box liner

--1 brand new and clean kitty litter scoop

--DIRECTIONS:
--1. Prepare cake mixes according to package directions.
(Any size cake pans.)

--2. Prepare pudding mix according to package directions
and chill until ready to use. Crumble white sandwich
cookies in small batches in blender. (Scrape often,
they tend to stick.) Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To
this 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops of green
food coloring and mix using a fork or by shaking in
a jar.

--3. When the cakes are cooled to room temperature,
crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with half of
the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled
pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding.
Mix it with the cake and feel it; you don't want it
soggy, just moist. Gently combine.

--4. Line a new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture
into litter box.

--5. Put three unwrapped Tootsie Rolls in a microwave
safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape
ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly.
Repeat with 3 more Tootsie Rolls and bury these in
the mixture.

--6. Sprinkle the other half of the cookie crumbs over
the top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly
over the top. This is supposed to resemble the
chlorophyll in the litter.

--7. Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, 3 at a time in the
microwave until almost melted. Spread them on top of
the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Or, only
spread 5 of the remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top.
Take one and heat until pliable, and hang it over the
side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly
with cookie crumbs.

Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the
cookie crumbs around. Serve with the new scoop. Enjoy!

OK... my dear readers.... Real cat lovers won't get too
grossed out, right?

This is a real recipe with real food, and is a lot of
fun to make and is delicious to eat! But the real fun
of it all is watching the reactions of other people as
they look at for the first time, and then realize what
it is. Their reactions will range from "How GROSS, I
can't believe you'd make such a thing!" to "Oh, isn't
that CUTE!" Can I have the recipe!
