Happy (almost) Halloween! What are you all doing to celebrate? We carved pumpkins and ate delicious donuts this weekend. Please excuse little A's silly face. He is telling me all about how gross his pumpkin "brains" are.
Here are a few last minute craft ideas to get you in the Halloween mood:
I want to make one of these stuffed fabric pumpkins (tutorial by the amazing Alison).
This awesome spider cake would put any Halloween party over the top!
Meta has some adorable ideas for last minute costumes.
It would be so fun to write all over this chalkboard haunted house!
I made this crocheted skull garland to decorate for the skeleton-themed birthday party we had at our house last week. Lucky for us, it also does triple duty as a Day of the Dead and Halloween garland. Isn't it fun? It wasn't too difficult, and only took a few evenings to complete - you still have some time to finish yours before Halloween!! I found the pattern here and attached them together using these basic guidelines.
Here's a quick peek at one of the freezer paper skeleton costumes I made for the boys. They wore them for their birthday party last week and loved being spooky. Only A felt like getting his picture taken, but I promise there's another skeleton lurking just outside the frame.
p.s. Our fall challenge went oooookaaaaay. Was that convincing? It turns out that TV watching is a hard habit to break. We did decrease our viewing time, but couldn't quite quit. We're human. Did anyone else try? Tell us all about it!
