Grandkid Game night- Dismal Dinner

Grandkid game night was fun– we had Alfie, George, Tayla, Lady, and Elsie.  It was our Halloween Dismal Dinner and I told the kids to wear dismal colors:  black, brown and gray clothes and that they had to have bland, expressionless faces.  They all did great– and once in a while we had to cover our mouths up cuz we were smiling and giggling behind our hands. 


We ate blood, guts, and brains for dinner (ketchup, nuggets, and ramen), and then they had to draw a scary face and name it, and introduce their picture in a spooky way.  It was a hoot.  We got a variety of names:  Bob, Puddle Duddle, Dead Fred, Frankenstein Welch, and Skibbidi Toilet.

We tried to do the “eat sour candy and see if their faces could remain expressionless game”, but I couldn’t find Warheads candy, and the sour patch kids weren’t sour enough.  The kids just liked them and had no effect.  We will try this game again with more sour candy.  Wayne made soft ice cream with his amazing machine. These kids LOVE ice cream.

We did a monster/mummy dance and Alfie played “This is Halloween” on the piano.  We played card games and watched a bit of Sonic 3 then the parents showed up.
