Halloween Treats

So birthday season has come and gone here (until New years day when my bestest boy Tate is 2) and the next exciting event on the horizon is Halloween!!

I love Halloween its so much fun. I wish the UK would adopt the american spirit when it comes to halloween and all the streets were lined with little people in their fancy dress collecting sweets and all the houses were decorated outside like we do for christmas!

We like to make halloween lots of fun for the children and make them a halloween goody bag!

Its nothing major just filled with lots of little spooky treats and the children love them!

So here's some of my fave Halloween treats to fill your treat bags!

Personalised halloween trick or treat bag £8

Halloween treat pot kits £2.20 for 2

Trick or Treat party bag badges £3.50 for 5

Spooky Glowing wristband £1

Halloween goodies from Paperchic starting from 50p

I would also add a few halloween sweeties! If you pick up bits and bobs whilst your out and about shopping over the next few weeks then its not such a burden just before the day! The kids will love them and its nice to make a fuss over every holiday occassion!

I will leave you with this Amazing video from you tube of a house decorated for halloween! Its fantastic!!!

Friday 13th oooooohhhhhhhh

Happy Friday 13th!!!

I can't wait for our Halloween Party and all our Halloween decorations and treats! So seeing as this is Friday i thought i'd mix it up a bit and do a bit of everything!!! Halloween is another expense just before christmas so these are cheap ideas too!!! Hooray!!

First up Costumes!
Honey loves dressing up and Rocco well he has no choice yet haha!!!
Last year Honey was a witch and Rocco a spider so this year i'm wondering what i can do! I'd like to do a duo in all honesty! Tesco always do some great ones! And i love looking on Pinterest at the amazing ideas they have!!!

But if you were looking for something a little bit cheaper and easier (yes please!) this is a great idea!
Most little girls have a princess fancy dress so just use that and then with some face paint they can be Dracula Aurora / Dracula Minnie Mouse! And the boys with superman / batman costumes and can be Dracula Batman / Scary Superman and it only about £2 for some face paints!!! hahaha This is Honey as Dracula Minnie - an eyeliner widows peak and mono brow and a dracula dummy and the jobs a goodun !!!!

Secondly Treats!
We never ever get Trick or Treaters so i never have to have sweets ready (boooo) but how cool do these look - its all about the presentation!!! Honey will love making these!!

Thirdly Games I absolutely can't wait to do this - how brilliant!!! and super easy!!! It will keep the children entertained for ages!! You could always just use an orange ball instead of a pumpkin! But i think the pumpkin is fab! And the tins make a great day time activity!!! Win Win! 

Fourthly Pumpkin Decoration

Last year i got some templates and cut them out with a knife etc - so time consuming!!! I recently saw on Pinterest a lady using Cookie Cutters to cut her pumpkin!!! 

We have some halloween cookie cutters and it looks so much easier than using the little knifes etc and the kids can help hammer!!! 

Fifth and Final Halloween Tip - Halloween crafts to keep them busy!!!! 

The top ghost is just a rock! How cool is that and you can go rock collecting in the morning! The Toilet roll monsters are fab and again super easy! I love hand print / foot print cards - something to keep and treasure!!! All really easy and cheap!!

Happy Friday 13th may your days be filled with luck

Love
