Spooky-Ooky Halloween Fun!

The kids & I did a lot of fun Halloween activites this month.

*Picking out pumpkins at Hansen's-check!
*The Pumpkin Walk in Syracuse-check!
*Boys & Girls Club party with sack races & games-check!
*WSU Bowling party & scavenger hunt-check!
*And of course Halloween Trick-or-Treating-check & check!

When I asked Ethan if he had enough candy, he gave the appropriate answer:
"Yes! No! Enough candy is never enough!"


I'm including here some of my favorite photos of my favorite little goblins:

Plethora of Pumpkins @ Hansen's

Potato sack races @ Boys & Girls Club Paty, Ethan didn't quite get the hang of it.

Crafty Project

Some friends & I got the idea for these jars from another blog page. I think they turned out really cute. We bought all of the raw wood pieces, letters & jars, black paint & ribbon. All of the wood pieces were glued together then we painted everything black. The next step was to attach the jars to the stands, then sand the wood for the rustic look.

When I brought them home, the kids really liked them. Ethan wanted to have a jar full of candy in his room...but I told him they were just for decoration, plus, then it wouldn't spell BOO!

The other picture is just of my table decorations that I collected at Tai Pan & Gardner Village. I love the Fall season & Halloween!







Here are a few fun sites with lots of spooky, crafty, creative ideas!
