Haunted House:
Every year we do a haunted house, unfortunately I don't get these videos up until after Halloween but here are a couple we've done.

And then lastly, my daughter shows you how to make these cute mummy cupcakes:

I love Halloween and it also my birthday, so no one ever forgets it. I have sent all the links to your video to my daughter and I think it will be fun for my grandson to make. They go crazy decorating their house to this should be fun. Thank you for sharing your ideas
ReplyDeleteCoool - you must have gotten a lot of candy for your birthday when you were a kid. Thanks for the share :)
DeleteWhat great fun! I love that there are still folks who celebrate Halloween! Seems in recent years, I have gotten no trick or treaters at my house! All the worries for the safety of the children seemed to have moved the celebrations to house or school parties. Loved the videos! Thanks for posting them
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this neighborhood goes all out. There are trick-n-treaters every where. It's something out of a Peanuts Halloween Special. And the neighbors have mini haunted houses in their garages. It's very cool.
Deletelove the origami - looks great and fun for kids to learn and help
ReplyDeleteYes, origami is fun. I've heard that it helps with math skills, I don't know how though I guess it get's you're mind thinking about shapes and how things fit.
DeleteI still like dressing up for Halloween so that's as crafty as I get this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI don't often except simple costumes, one year I put smarties on my pants and called myself a smarty pants. But usually I'm so busy with the haunted house, I don't have time to think up a costume.
DeleteI love Halloween too! Those Freddy fingers are awesome!! I bet my son would love making those :)
ReplyDeleteThey're fun to wear too. :)
DeleteHalloween is such a fun time of year. I tend to go crazy when it comes to decorating the house with small pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute. I love Halloween and am in the process of decorating. Halloween is such a great time. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun. This will be good planning for next year. This year I'm thinking that mom and dad should go to a Halloween party for a change. I love the mummy cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteOh, have fun!

DeleteI'm an airhead - just went to your site - how cool is that! Thank you. I'll have to tell my daughter - she made the mummy cupcake :)
DeleteFun ideas! Any recommendations for pumpkin carving?
ReplyDeleteI am not a big pumpkin carver - I find it messy and they rot very fast as soon as you carve them. When I did carve it was the day before we would have the party or the day before Halloween. And if we used a candle, well then it would only last the night. I like just pumpkins, they're pretty untouched. I forget which channel but I believe they have pumpkin carving wars on some cable channel (the same one as cupcake wars).
DeleteHalloween can be such a fun holiday for kids and adults alike! I love the "Smarty Pants" costume idea! I've also seen paper hands traced then cut out...pairs of hands safety pinned to the front of you. Only in costume if you're standing up........a standing ovation! I love clever costumes, especially for adults!
ReplyDeleteOh too funny - that is clever, maybe I'll steal it for this Halloween ;)
DeleteOh I have to share this post with my son and daughter-in-law. My oldest granddaughter loves origami. And cats. How purr-fect your post is. Thanks.

Those cupcakes look terrifyingly delicious! My family wasn't too big on Halloween, they let me dress up and trick n' treat and stuff....but I think for religious reasons kept it toned down. In fact, I know some families who won't let their children dress up or trick n' treat.
ReplyDeleteand they were :) Yes it wasn't until I was older that I realized that some families did not celebrate because of religion. I personally think if you can recognize the bad in the world and laugh and have fun with it, it helps with dealing with the truly bad stuff in the world.
DeleteI'd love to experience Halloween in America. You really go all out. How fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt actually depends where you go, our neighborhood has lots of fun with it. Some areas consider it the devil's holiday and will have nothing to do with, however I think they are in the minority.
