HOW ABOUT A LITTLE EYEBALL SOAP?!?

Good Morning!

Krumbs and I are sitting at home waiting for Hurricane Sandy to hit the East Coast of the United States.  There is no school for the next two days, the stores are closed, people are boarding up their windows...and the storm hasn't even started yet!  Krumbs is more than a little crazy right now because he HATES heavy rain and wind and we know it is coming our way.

While we batten down our hatches, put batteries in our flashlights and get out our supplies of candles, we thought we'd take a break and post for everyone.  (And let's face it...posting on our blog and visiting the Cafe keeps Krumbs busy enough that he's not hiding under beds, whimpering uncontrollably or wrapping himself around my knees-Poor Krumbs!)  We have a fabulous Halloween activity to share...it is useful, fun to make and incredibly gross!!!

What is it, you ask?  We're talking about EYEBALL SOAP!  Yes, eyeball soap.  We read about it on the Cafe...and you can read about it right here.  The recipe teaches you how to melt glycerin soap, add fake eyeballs and let it harden in muffin cups, but you don't have to stop with eyeballs.  You can melt the soap and add plastic spiders, insects, mini-snakes, or any kind of creepy crawly you'd like.  The finished product makes a hauntingly disgusting Halloween gift, that your friends are sure to love.

I hope we'll be able to go trick or treating...Hurricane Sandy might not let us get out.  (But I'm not telling that to Krumbs just yet!)  Check back on Wednesday for an update on this horrible "Frankenstorm".
