Last saturday my family and I organized a Halloween party for our kids and their cousins. Everyone pitched in by bringing festive food and activities for the children (and adults) to enjoy. Here’s a peek at some of the highlights:

I recently made a felt board for my bugs along with some fun felt monster pieces. During a trip to the public library, the boys and I picked up a copy of Ed Emberley’s, Go Away, Big Green Monster!

Our oldest bug recently turned 4, and when I asked M what he wanted to do for his party, he replied with an emphatic ‘bouncy house!’, so we decided to throw him a carnival themed party. We rented gym space at Cardel Place, complete with a HUGE bouncy house and gym equipment. When we first walked into the gym, M’s whole face lit up at the sight of the bouncy house; combine that with having his family and friends there to celebrate with him, and I knew instantly this was going to be a party he’d remember!

I’ve been seeing these cute ghost footprint paintings all over Pinterest and decided to use this idea to make some fun Halloween shirts with my bugs.

I’ve been meaning to make a felt board for my bugs for a while now, and finally got around to assembling one the other day. I made our felt board simply by stapling a sheet of black felt to a foam board. In the spirit of Halloween, I thought it would be fun for the boys to be able to create their own silly monsters. This activity is cheap, easy to make, and a lifesaver for when you are in dire need of some quiet time. When I’m making dinner, and tempers are on the brink of boiling over, I pull out the felt board and monster pieces, and my bugs are settled and engaged for at least 20 minutes. I will definitely be making more felt activities to go along with our felt board!
