Our Halloween Party 2014

We spent the 3 weeks before the party doing crafts, shopping at Goodwill 1/2 price days and decorating! It's amazing how many crafts are easy to do with kid in about 30 min. a night, or an hour on a Saturday afternoon. We got some pumpkins ready for the front door.

First we spent some time making toilet paper roll bats.

We made about 7 of these. We also colored a velumn poster I got from Goodwill.

We got some window clings, a glow in the dark spiderweb, some hanging lanterns and other window decorations. We moved some of them to different locations after the pictures.

I had a whole table with a black tablecloth, orange lights, a glass jar of glow sticks, and plush decorations but I forgot to take a picture. The kids painted some cardboard bunting I got from Michaels for $1.30. Totally easier than making it myself- plus the kids got an easy job that ended up being super cute (except the one that got painted sideways:)

I found these super cute favor baskets at Goodwill and we filled them with some random new toys we got at goodwill and a small bit of candy.

I also found some printable mason jars on pintrest (which were supposed to be for valentines day) and redesigned them for a Halloween gift for Jay's classmates. Normal spiders weren't sticking like we wanted, so when I got sling shot spiders 8-packs for .50 each (new) at Goodwill and got 4 packs. Then I attached them with string to make sure they would stay.

I had a bunch of activities for the kids to do, and when they completed it they could get a non-candy prize (yo-yo, cute notepad, paddle-ball).

This picture isn't clear, but is Jay taking his selfie with an adult:)

I got out some of the monster items from Jay's 1st birthday party:

I set the table with some Candy and other fun things. Then I added my pumpkin-looking cheese ball.

And I tried a few mummy pizzas before resorting to regular pizza because it was way easier.

Everyone had so much fun!
