Dia de Los muertos
Had a great time last night at our friends party! Here's my simple day of the dead costume-made my floral crown & wore a black lace top with a peasant skirt.

Floral crown
Just finished making the crown for my costume Friday night-is it too much to wear to the grocery store later? I think I could I pull it off...

Halloween Bunco
I hosted Halloween bunco last week at my house. Had so much fun putting things together for the girls including my wicked cider!
And of course delicious treats because it wouldn't be Halloween without some sweets.
We had such a fun time & it was a great night!
I had yummy food for the girls to munch on

Apple Cider Sangria
Making some yummy apple cider sangria this morning for my Halloween bunco tonight. Should I add caramel vodka or cinnamon whiskey? I think I'll leave it on the side and everyone can add their own flavor!

Kate Spade inspired pumpkins
Evere year I like to create a little pumpkin projects. Last year I created fox pumpkins & this year I did something more graphic. I adore Kate Spade & two of her signature looks are the black & white stripe & polka dots. Who doesn't love a stripe & a polka dot? They're classic, timeless & a perfect touch of whimsy.

Minecraft Jack O'Lantern
My youngest son carved his first pumpkin by himself this year! He is obsessed with Minecraft & he picked the pumpkin from the game. I think it turned out great! What did you carve this year?

Boo-yah!
After we got home from "booing" I asked my 15 year old if he was getting to "old" for this. He said, "Mom, I love doing all this fun stuff with you". He made my heart melt-guess I might be doing something right after all.

What Does The Fox Say Pumpkins
I know a sweet little girl who is currently obsessed with foxes & the "what does the fox say" song. She also loves all things cute & not scary for Halloween. So I thought I would surprise her with a pumpkin fox! Well, two foxes because I didn't know if she wanted a boy or girl. So...I created Farra & Felix Fox-the cutest fox pumpkins ever!
For Farra, I added polka dot bows to her ears & a little sparkle blush with glitter & pink paint. Cause every girl loves a little sparkle!
(Linked to The DIY Party, The Great Halloween Link-up, The Sunday Showcase, Show & Tell Saturday & Link Party Palooza)
They were so simple to make. Start with a couple pie pumpkins (I just liked the shape of these best, you can choose whatever type of pumpkin you like). Wash the pumpkins & dry thoroughly. I painted a base coat & a few more for good coverage. (Allow plenty of dry time in between coats).
Once the base coats dry, attach your fox felt ears. I used orange & white felt. I cut 2 sizes of ears with the orange being slightly bigger than the white. I glued the white ear onto the orange & attached the ears to the pumpkin with a small pin. I then painted the face on in a white heart shape.
I glued a small black Pom Pom on for the nose & drew the eyes & mouth on with a black sharpie. And viola, Felix the Fox was born!
I loved the way they turned out! Which is your favorite: Farra or Felix? And my kids want to know: what does the fox say?

Haunted Gingerbread Houses
We had a group of friends over last night for a fall potluck dinner. I always like to plan a fun seasonal activity for the kids to do. I got four kits, one for each family. The kids from each family worked together on their haunted houses. I think they did an amazing job!
(I apologize for the poor quality but I snapped them with my phone rather quickly). I also gave out prizes for the best haunted house-which is your favorite?

Halloween Lanterns
Working on decorating my front porch today! I love our lanterns-we put them up every year & I always try to find new places for them every year.
This year, they're hanging out in our front porch.
How are you decorating for Halloween?
