This year, our Halloween candy bowl had potatoes mixed in. That’s right, potatoes. As it turns out, some kids love potatoes. This all started when my wife read something about someone else who did this and how kids loved it. Seemed like a fun thing to do on Halloween, so we thought we’d give it […]
It’s Halloween time again, and we have our Jack Skellington on the garage, added some animated lights above the garage, black light strips around the garage and front porch along with tape that lights up in black lights. We have a few motion detected decorations as well to scare the kids, but nothing too scary. […]
This years Halloween pumpkins include a face with stitches, a sliced up mummy, Tsum Tsum, Crazy cat, happy pumpkin, and a oh Gourd.
This years pumpkins feature a few scary faces, boo which was created with a drill, a pumpkin popping out of a pumpkin, and a momma pumpkin with her crazy kids.
This year, for Halloween, I made all new Nightmare Before Christmas decorations. Oogie Boogie and Zero are just cut out of poster board which I got at the Dollar Store for $1 for two pieces of paper. Put them in the window and they block out the light at night. Super easy for minimal effort. […]
For Halloween this year, Lily went as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. It’s great to see her picking characters/costumes that are unique and fun. Luna’s brave, smart, creative, and not like any one else.
This years Halloween pumpkins include a cat, OMG face, Spiderman, Harry Potter and a cat-a-corn (cat unicorn). This year we tried a few different techniques on a few of the pumpkins like scraping the outside of the pumpkin and not carving it all the way through. That’s how Spiderman’s web is done and Harry’s glasses. […]
Jack was made mainly from PVC. You can see the instructions over here. I made him a bit shorter as he was like 8 feet tall and instead of fabric, I used a plastic tablecloth for clothes. The mask is from Amazon so I kind of cheated on that part. All in all, it turned […]
Here are our 2016 Halloween pumpkin carvings. On the top row we have two scary pumpkins. The first one is not carved all the way through, but rather scraped. On the bottom row we have a penguin, a cat, and the moon and stars. All pumpkins are lit with either rechargeable lights or battery operated […]
Our house is ready for Halloween. It’s watching out over the neighborhood and looking a little haunted. Really, this is a simple project. All it is cardboard with eyes cutout and orange tissue paper over the cut out parts. Leaving the lights on in the house is all I have to do at night to […]
