Halloween Snacks

I have been busy and also lazy lately and hasn't been able to make anything. Even for Halloween didn't do much, so felt bad on the morning of Halloween that didn't make anything special for the kids. So, this was a quick Halloween snack that I made in the morning.

Halloween Snack Ideas

So we had a sort of playdate for the kids, but instead of putting out just plain snacks, I thought since Halloween is so close by, it will be fun to have Halloween themed snacks for them. Well, I get all these ideas at the last minute, so these were all snacks which were easy to assemble too..:)

Halloween Water Bottles

I am late again ..:( I thought I will have this post ready before Halloween, but just got busy with stuff..

I made these water bottles for a Halloween party. I loved it when I first saw the printables here. I like that it adds a fun way of spooky, just the way I wanted for a kids Halloween party. Well, it is late for this year, but mark it to make your own using these printables for next year.

Pretzels Monsters..

We are getting ready for Halloween around here. Actually we are almost set for Halloween. First year ever that I am all set even with costumes for all the kids, two weeks ahead of Halloween. Thanks to a costume birthday party we had to attend last week, we got our costumes ready early.

All the houses in the neighborhood are decorated spookily. The kids are excited about their costumes and just looking forward to lot of candies . My youngest one is counting days to trick n treating.

Happy Halloween!!

Hope you all are ready for some trick n treats this Halloween!! We sure are!!
The cobwebs are hanging, the creepy man is sitting by the door, making scary noises if someone comes close to him and a skeleton too hanging by the door. I think we have enough creepy things going on in our house, but our kids always want  more scary stuff. I don't think we will ever have enough of decorations to put on our yard... :)

Halloween Ideas

With the Halloween season coming up, I am sharing  some of the Halloween related crafts and decor that I have done in the past. Hopefully you can get some inspiration from these projects.

For the garage door

Garage Door 1:

Paper Pumpkins

Ok, I have been seeing these different types of paper pumpkins all over the blogland and thought I will make my very own paper pumpkins.

So, I had just two sheets of orange paper which I thought will be perfect for my pumpkins. I had all the things I needed set on the table and had just walked away for just few minutes. When I returned, I see my little one scribbling on my orange paper. I had just two sheets of orange left and now after some scribbling, there was actually less than two sheets left...:( Oh the joys of being a parent...

Trunk and Treat

Last year we participated in a trunk and treat at our Church. It was the first time we have been part of it and it was fun. That time we didn't have any idea about what to do with the trunk. We had a skeleton which had a sensor, so it made noises if you came close  to it. We put that in our trunk and put some spider web

Oreo spiders

How cute are these #oreospiders. Made these today morning to put one in the kiddos snack.

Halloween surprise!

Yesterday evening someone knocked at our door. When I opened the door, nobody was there, but there was a bag of treats with this sign left at the door.

Bats as Halloween Decor

For the garage door décor, I wanted to make something different from last year.

You can visit here to see what I did last year. Though I liked it a lot, I still wanted something different.

Halloween Stairs

Halloween is just a month away and we are getting ready!!!

We have a huge box full of creepy stuff in our garage that we will be putting up in our front yard and the front door. But for inside the house I was looking at doing something different this Halloween and found the mice template at Martha Stewart's website and fell in love.

Milk jar tea-lights for Halloween

Last year on Halloween, we lit our driveway with these milk-jar tea lights and I didn't get to share it, so posting it again.

My son helped me make some of these. It is that easy to do. Just cut eyes and mouth with black craft paper and stick it on one side of the milk jar. Or you can even use stickers if you can find, to make faces, like we did on some of our jars. Cut a hole on the side opposite to where the face was made.

Halloween Garage Door

I made this decoration for our garage door last year as part of our Halloween decoration, but didn't actually get to share it. So posting it again.

Halloween 2012

Now that the kids are at an age when they can enjoy Halloween activites, I love doing things for Halloween...like putting up Halloween decorations, doing Halloween crafts at home, etc. Kids start decidig on their costume way in advance and in our neighborhood, its like a party going on as soon as it starts getting dark.
