Come join us poolside this Thursday evening, October 30th, for some spooky fun and the classic Disney movie Hocus Pocus.

Pizza and Popcorn provided by The Kimball Group.

Catch up with friends at Cru Wine Bar, a Texas-based chain with a location in The Woodlands. Offering 30 by-the-glass options and over 300 bottles in the cellar, you'll be sure to find a new favorite wine. Sample one of the many wine flights, which are reasonably priced and have generous pours. The food menu offers a nice variety of small plates and full size entrees. Many customers order several plates and share with the whole table. Be sure to try the Goat Cheese Beignets and the Roasted Wild Mushroom Pizza with fontina, pesto and white truffle oil.

Dine inside for a chic and trendy evening out, or linger over Sunday brunch with French toast and bottomless mimosas on the outdoor patio. In addition to weekday happy hour from 4 p.m to 6:30, Cru has daily specials like Pizza Mondays: buy any bottle of wine and your choice of pizza is on the house.

Everyone knows that candy is the best part about Halloween, but there's still something to be said about seasonal sweets that don't require a wrapper. If you're hosting a Halloween party this year, these Halloween recipes are all treats and no tricks!

Marshmallow Witches [myfabulousrecipesbackup.blogspot.com]
The kids will love to help make these not-so-wicked witch treats! Large marshmallows are decorated with chocolate chips, candy pieces, and cookies to create a coven of seriously sweet witches. These treats don't requiring any prepping or cooking, which leaves more time for the fun part: the decorating!

Pumpkin Cookies [Food and Wine]
Catering to more refined palates, these pumpkin cookies boast a cake-like texture that's complemented by tiny pieces of candied ginger. Pumpkin spice imparts an autumn flavor, while a sugary glaze tantalizes the taste buds.

Spider Cookies [Delish]
A spider shaped cookie cutter transforms basic sugar cookie dough into a tempting dessert that might just make your skin crawl. Each arachnid is dipped into black sanding sugar for a sparkly-sweet finish, then arranged on cookie cooling rack that resembles a web.
