Spidey-Snacks v.2

Tonight, in the absence of black construction paper (to make our annual foot-ghosts), we re-visited this project of a few years back. I was determined to make the black widows this time, only to discover that my black food coloring was dried to a thick unmanageable gooey paste. Enough stuck to the tip of my spatula to tint the marshmallow a delightfully un-apetizing shade of lavendery-grey. That is a color, right? Lavender-y grey? Good thing the Cocoa-Krispies made up for it.

I'm getting better at letting the bug control the outcome and not making things all "perfect" for photos. Not that I ever have worried too much about perfect anyway. Her creativity is much more entertaining than my in-the-box thinking about what a spider should be anyway.

But I think Grandma takes the cake for most awesomest. She took the most care, and it shows. It's like a Hallmark edible creepy. Good times.

Bring it on, October. We are ready for you.
