This week we had a Halloween party over at our house for our activity day girls. And of course, I did WAY too much. I should have toned it way down but didn't realize that until AFTER the party was over & it was time to CLEAN up, yuck. But, the girls had fun. Here are a picture of the pumpkin favors I handed out. They were really easy to make....just orange craft bags & floral tape.
Of course I had to decorate my house....my boys loved "helping me" cut out all the bats. Or shall I say they loved cutting up all my scraps in to bite size pieces.
I don't know which I was more proud of, the final product, or the fact that we cleaned up the GIANT mess before Layne got home!
Here is a picture of all the GOODS, of course we had ALOT of treats. I borrowed a chocolate fountain from my mom & scorched the chocolate....oopps! It was still good to eat....even though it never ran through the chocolate fountain.
Here is a pic of my mantel. My friend Brooke makes the cutest boards. She helped my do these ones....hers are WAY cuter.
I couldn't leave this one out....don't you love how they all match?? What is even better is Layne got them all dressed!

Your house is beautiful! So much fun to decorate for holidays - I bet your boys loved it.
Katie, I love all the bats! That is soo cute. I found the costume at Joanns, it is actually a duck hatching out of an egg. I am not quite sure how I am going to do it. I also talked to a lady at walmart and she suggested getting thick wire and making a ring around my neck and a bigger one around my legs. Then take wire and go down from my neck to my legs and make it bowe out, then hot glue a thick white fabric around it. So, my party is Sat. and I still don't know what I'm going to do! Yikes!! I'll let you know!
You're AWESOME!!! I bet the girls loved it.You are so talented! Lisa
Oh I love this post! Your house is decorated sooo cute! I wish I would have come over and made some bats with you. Those turned out sooo cute and it sounds like the boys had lots of fun! I also LOVE the favors you did! They turned out sooo cute!! You have mom's crafty ability- I am jealous!
Oh you know that I totally stole ALL the ideas off of Martha Stewart website...I am good at being crafty only when I can steal other peoples ideas! ;-)
HOW FUN! Cutting is definately NOT my talent. I hate it with a passion. Your house IS so pretty, when are we going to be invited over....we are neighbors now.
I bet your girls LOVE you! How cute are those bats. The picture of Layne and the boys is priceless!
Way to go Katie. Now they will never release you!!! Your the bomb,xoxo mom
What are you doing as Activity Day Leader? They need to make you Young Women's President!!! Your house is so adorable. I can't believe I haven't seen it yet.
How cute are those pumpkin party favors ... What did you put in them? I have to do something creative for Keston's class on Halloween. Oh, we had lots of fun in Washington, but you know that everytime we saw a kid (didn't have to be the same age) we wished that we had them :( Sure looks like you had lots-o-fun at the chindig ... so nice of you to decorate ...
