Logan threw a Halloween Party this weekend! It was SO MUCH FUN!
The house was decked out. I might have gone a little overboard. I already had a ton of Halloween decor I’ve collected over the years and then I kind of bought a bunch of new stuff and my friend Debby gave me some decorations she didn’t need anymore!
Logan was a pirate. I was a pumpkin. Michael was a blend of Michael Myers and Jason. 😀
My parents came down to visit from Seattle. My dad got dressed up too! And Logan was trying on a bunch of different masks. At one point he was Chewbacca/Pirate. LOL
I made a ton of food. Ghost bananas, apple slices, chips, pasta salad, crackers and cheese shaped like Halloween stuff. My friends Debby and Alex contributed some amazing stuff! Vegetarian Quiche “eyeballs” (delicious), cupcakes, ghost cheese pastries and a ghost cake.
And these witches’ hats:
Everything was a huge hit! The witches’ hats were gone in seconds. The red velvet ghost cake was AMAZING!
Beer, wine, cider, random non-alcoholic stuff.
I planned some fun games. We did a Scavenger Hunt (with prizes!). And then I hid a bunch of “ghosts” around the house and the kids had to go find them. The ghosts were small halloween toys wrapped in kleenex with a ghost face drawn on them with a sharpie. Super easy to make and it was fun.
Then we played the above game with bean bags and I had one that was a ghost “dartboard”.
Then we painted and decorated pumpkins.
The kids had a blast! I was so happy everything turned out great. It was really fun. A lot of work, but fun. I don’t know that it will be an annual event, but maybe every other year. 😉
Happy Halloween!

How fun and the food looks so creative. Planning a party is a lot of work but the outcome is great! Love your pumpkin costume how funny.

It is a lot of work but I feel very happy and satisfied that everything turned out so great!
Thanks! I found the dress at Goodwill and then got the pumpkin necklace and earrings on Amazon and the headband at Fred Meyer or Target (I forget now).
