Halloween Round Up

We survived the ghosts and goblins and faired away with little sugar rush meltdowns.... how did you all make out?

This was my DDs' first Halloween and they LOVED it! The costumes and the potluck get-together at a friends house and oh yeah, did I mention the trick-or-treating? One of the kids in our group was in Miss Bella's class and they had so much fun trick-or-treating together that when it was time to leave, the cute little guy started crying. He wanted to stay and play longer with Miss Bella. So adorable! Bella had to hug it out with him before we all left. We assured the little guy they'd see each other at playschool the next day.

So I thought I would just make this post a sharing post full of fun photos from our first Halloween... hope you enjoy!

Trick or Treat!

I'm so in love with party ideas these days... Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fall parties, Christmas is soon... and I've been seeing a lot of these little cake pops.
What a wonderful idea for kids. I mean, I know my kids are not huge cake eaters so something like this is about their portion size and so much more fun to eat.

Anyways, I was wondering how you bake these little treats... until I found an easy tutorial (I can't find the link for the life of me now).Here is a link from Home Made Simple for everyone try try cake pops and how to decorate them. They look so cute and SPOOKY! Picture is linked.
Have fun!

Spooktacular Haunted Ideas

Anyone getting in the crafty moody these days? I am... infact, I'm getting my hands dirty this evening carving pumpkins with the girls. Who doesn't love getting in that squishy slimy mess... it just screams Halloween. Last year the girls didn't even want to touch the insides of the pumpkin so we'll see how it goes this year.

I've been all excited about Halloween this year. When we lived in Italy the last 2 1/2 years we missed out on the festivities and trick-or-treating as they don't really celebrate it over there. Carnivale is their big dress up holiday.

We have our costumes (thanks the my niece Miss M) and we have our window clings up (I have some new ones for the girls to put up tonight). I bought some cool Halloween socks and some book for treat bags (because they get enough candy elsewhere I figured).

Anyways, I was checking my email and saw this cool idea in my inbox. On the CK blog, they have a cool tutorial on how to make a super cool haunted house out of scrapping paper. It's so cute, it's almost pretty! So what are you waiting for? Click on the pict to go to the link page! Happy crafting!
