Halloween 2016

Happy Halloween! I am taking a break on baby/newborn postings for a bit to showcase some Halloween fun! If you know me, you know that I'm a Halloween fan. What's not to love about creative foods, crafting costumes, and using your noggin for fun ideas! When I first met my husband, he said it was weird for people to decorate for Halloween. Clearly he didn't know me at all, because THAT'S WHAT I DO! Now that we've been married for 4.5 years, he appreciates this "holiday" a bit more. Goal complete. We hosted a Halloween party last night on Hallow's Eve for friends. A baby doesn't change the fact that this holiday must call for a gathering. Crafted Halloween decor. Themed pot luck foods. Mandatory costumes. Success! Just take a look at these amazing pictures. And of course, I have some new food ideas to share with you. First the family costumes:

 

 

Right above my TV, I added floating candles this year! Here's a great tutorial from Consumer Crafts. Instead of toilet paper rolls, I rolled up craft paper.

Now for the food ideas!

 

And how about these delicious mummy potatoes!

And you cannot forget:

My favorite new item that I made this year was the jar of eyeballs. So much fun and easy to do. Here's the tutorial: What you need: Jar, Can of Lychee, and Boba

Directions:

1. Drain the can of lychee into the glass jar
2. Take out each lychee and stuff with boba
3. Place the "eyeball" into the glass jar
4. Fill the remaining jar up with water
5. Create a label, display, and eat!

 

Easy and fun right? Now tell me, what are you doing this Halloween? Sending haunts your way, Jay --- Battery powered flickering tea lights on Amazon here
