Hauntingly Crafty

We pulled out all the stops this year and crafted up a Halloween Storm!

We made glow in the dark painted paper plate jack o lanterns with our friends. The next day we made glitter pumpkins with the same friends.

Amy and I painted a scarecrow photo backdrop for our 3 Halloween Parties. I put mine back out Halloween night for everyone to use!
They turned out great. It was fun to see all the people taking pictures with their heads poked through the holes...as many adults as kids!




We also created a bean bag toss pumpkin game. It was so easy we may be making a toss game for every holiday.

For the boys playdate that was at our house again this week we made Pumpkin marshmallow shooters. I cut the bottom out of a paper cup and we stretched a cut balloon across the bottom. It worked like a sling shot. We had contests to see who could shoot a marshmallow the farthest, the highest, hit a target, and make the most in the bowl. Mostly I ran around outside the fence picking up the marshmallows!

The party favor after playdate was a Spider Sucker Ethan had made...everyone was thrilled!






For the ward Trunk Or Treat I decorated the back of the Jeep for the kiddos. I loved how it turned out...easy, a little spooky, and fun! (PS I made Avery's ladybug skirt...isn't she cute!) Ethan asked if he could be the dead meat in the mouth, so he climbed in and kicked around a little...silly kid!

We had a super Halloween of crafting and creating...not to mention lots of playing around...stay tuned for even more Halloween Fun!

I'm tired just thinking of all you two did. Way to go! I loved everything... Great idea to let everyone use the backdrop. Love the little lady bug and the Meat in the mouth... What a kid?
