We hope everyone has a spook-tacular Halloween!! We have had a lot of fun making all of our Halloween preparations.


I was so busy in fact that I didn't get my VT done this month so we made treats.



This guy took longer than I thought he would. I saw the idea for sale in Martha's magazine and decided I could make one of my own. Cord bought me a styrofoam head at Savers and I attached it to a tomato cage. The rest took a little trial and error.

What worked the best was wrapping everything in batting first so it wasn't see through and then I used three packages of the spider web stuff (the cheap stuff you get at Walmart to put around your house.) and then the kids loaded on the spiders. I think it turned out great and the kids love it.

Here are a few pictures for our pumpkin carving...


Some of us didn't mind the "guts"

Some of us did!












Happy Halloween!!!!

Great Halloween decs. I love the hanging mummy. Wow! Also the cute banner on the fireplace. We didn't carve pumpkins this year. I went for the Mr. Potato Head things at Walmart. Loved it.
