Halloween Bash

Halloween is the best time of year to throw a crazy party.  Are you planning a bash of your own??  Or do you just want to add a bit of spice to Halloween night??   Well, I have a few ideas for you!

Over the weekend, my entire family was in town.  What better time to PAR-TAY in a spooktacular way?!  We all dressed in costume and went all out with yummy food and fun games!! I can't take the credit with the evening's creativity, however.  My Mother is the holiday mastermind of the family.  She knows how to host one mean party!

We love food in our family.  Here are some snapshots of our menu:

Vegetable skeleton

Mummy dogs

Potato ghosts

Ghosts in the graveyard

Spider web cupcakes 

(Yes, we did have 2 desserts!  We used these for the cake walk.)

We had so many fun games planned that we didn't even get to all of them!  But they were a hit, especially with the kids!  We have more Halloween games that we can play all week long!

Pumpkin Bowling

We just used food coloring to dye the water orange and hot glued the lids shut.  

We used a little orange ball to knock down the pins!

Cake Walk

We walked in a circle on Halloween pictures while "Monster Mash" played.   

We kept playing until everyone won a spider web cupcake!

Don't Eat Jack!  

(I found this idea here at the Crafting Chicks.)

Relay races

Eyeball Relay - We balanced an "eyeball" (a pingpong ball) on a spoon walking across the room.  

Ghost Waiter Relay - We balanced a white balloon (ghost) on a paper plate without letting it drop.  Both of these relays were hysterical!

Pin the Nose on the Jack-o-Lantern

We just used black paper triangles as noses.  This became surprisingly competitive among the adults!  

So what can top THIS?!  Well, this weekend, we are going to DisneyLand to get spooky with Mickey, and I can't wait for that!
