Gross Recipes For Kids
My daughter is throwing a Halloween Party at our place this year. In other words a bunch of teens in dress up that I will be watching all night. Like a hawk. I remember being 17 .....
Our farm is pretty much in the middle of nowhere so when I turn off the lights, the only glow you see is that of the moon. I reckon if we throw in a random sheep wandering around in the dark, making footsteps and breathing noises ... well, I think that would be enough to scare even the bravest teen boy into staying within my view.
