Halloween Is Here!

Well Halloween is fast approaching with school parties, costume preparation, and gathering fixins' for a fun Halloween family dinner! Aren't these cookies darling found over at Deck the Halls of Home With Joy along with this darling trick or treat bag!

Just a couple of last minute ideas to help make your Halloween divine! Tomorrow I am off to do a "Wizard of Oz" class party for the third grade. We will divide into groups and play:
Melt the Witch- kids will melt a picture of witch drawn with washable markers with squirt guns.
Stuff the Scarecrow - a race to see who can stuff and put together a scarecrow body out by putting a pillow in a men's flannel shirt, a broom through the arms of the shirt, stuff the shirt into pants and the pant legs stuffed into boots. Then a straw hat placed on the shirt. It will lay on the floor and two teams will race to be the winner. (The person who stuffs the scarecrow then unstuffs the scarecrow and we will time to see how fast each team is total.)
Courage Words For the Cowardly Lion- cute handout with a lion on it and the kids have to see how many words they can make out of Give the Lion Courage.
Witch Cupcakes- We will take a cupcake and put a pointy ice cream cone upside down on the cupcake. We will add skinny black licorice hair and red hots for eyes.
Then I have a few other surprises up my sleeve for a fun Halloween party!

Tomorrow check back and I will give you a menu that will knock your family's socks off for Halloween and a great way to start a new family tradition!
