halloween play-date …

October 26, 2012

Can you believe Halloween is almost here?!  It even snowed at my house yesterday!  The seasons are definitely changing around here.

I had a little Halloween play-date at my house this week for my kiddos and some of their friends!

 I thought I’d share a few of the pictures!

I turned some of these oranges “jack o lanterns” and they were a hit with the kids!  For some reason an orange is more fun if they look like a pumpkin! (inspiration here)

I also drew some jack o lantern faces on the fruit cups!

I threw together a really easy Halloween party mix.  It is also a great option for little toddlers since it has little pieces of cereal and other goodies that kids like!

Here is the easy recipe!

We gave some fun goodie bags with some Halloween loot to all our guests.

and, a few pictures I snapped with my phone, because of course I forgot to grab a picture of the spread after our guest arrived with all their goodies.

I used a glass bottle from ikea to put milk in, then added a little black felt ghost face!

And, we can’t forget our cute party guests all decked out!

The boys were very serious about protecting the planet, ha!

Hope you have a Happy and Safe Halloween!!
