So, as we all know, I am not exactly a domestic goddess. When it comes to cooking, I'm not even a domestic priestess. Or noblewoman. Or servant. We should all be happy that my children don't starve to death when Hot Guy isn't here, is what I'm saying. I'm so nervous in the kitchen that I don't tend to let them cook with me (though they'd probably be better at it), unless it involves decorating cookies.
But then I saw that JELL-O had Halloween recipes. Making Jell-O is only slightly more difficult than boiling water, so I figured I might be able to handle their Spooky JIGGLERS recipes with assistance from the children.
Hugmonkey even helped me with finding the right JELL-O Gelatin at the grocery store.
If I was smart, I would have taken a photo while we were actually at the grocery store.
We decided to make the Halloween JIGGLERS Hands, mostly because Ironflower wanted to be able to use Halloween cookie cutters on the leftover JELL-O.
First we traced our hands.
Some of us more carefully than others.
Then we cut them out.
Next was water boiling.
And powder mixing.
Then there was chilling time in the fridge.
The laying on of the hand patterns. Lovebug was at basketball practice.
And then we added in Halloween cookie cutters.
Lovebug's hand. Because you can't just trace a simple hand outline in second grade.
Pumpkin. Though it could be an apple.
Post-practice snack.
Ironflower would like to do commercials.
So yummy!
As soon as everyone was done and I was trying to shoo them upstairs, all I heard was, "This was so fun! When can we do it again? It was fun cooking with you, Mom!" So thank you, JELL-O. I owe you one.
