Halloween Party
The BIG Halloween Party.....
One of my personal favorites. I love to see all the kiddos dressed up and running around. Little imaginations working over time.
This years menu was:
Ghoul's Punch
Ghost Poop
Mummy Toe's
Pumpkin Berries
Ghost on a Stick 
Pumpkin Roll-Up's- for the parents
We played games like Slimy Eye Ball Hunt, Wrap the Mummy Relay, Pumpkin Candy Toss, Pin the Nose on the Witch and a few others
I think that the party was a success. I know my kids had a good time. Sharkbait would not dress up as Yoda (the costume I bought) but oh well maybe another year (all my kids had a hard time dressing up at such a young age). My friend came over early to help set up and even dressed up last minute as Princess Leia and ran some of the games.
This year I split up the 17 kids into three groups to play all the games. I think it worked much better. Each group was small and every kid did not have to wait long to have a turn.
The food was not much of a hit. Ghost Mellows were pure sugar tasting. The only person who liked them was my dear friend B. Ghost poop was alright- fudge; who does not like fudge. The drinks had eyeballs (frozen cherries) in them and most of the kids I found out HATE ginger ale. I should of just served bag candy and all the kids- except one would of loved it. But I am sure the parents would have not been happy with me.
Next year- I might try some science experiments and use dry ice. I really enjoy having this party, can you tell. Commander did a good job at taking the group picture and all the action shots of the kids.

Thats looks like a great time and those roll ups are making me drool. Everyone had such great costumes. I bet the kids would love the experiments next year.
WOW!! That food LOOKS amazing! If it didn't steal the show, it should have!! Awesome party...you rock!
What great pictures. I thought I was doing good with Halloween with serving mummy dogs before trick or treating. You really go all out! How fun!
Yay, I might have to steal some of your ideas because our party is this weekend. I'll let you know if I do. How fun! This just made me sooo much more excited.
That looks like so much fun! Bless you for having the tenacity to host a party like that, which I'm sure the kids thoroughly enjoyed. I don't thing I have it in me. ;)
great snack ideas. i will have to borrow those ideas for our weekly playgroup. love the pictures of your boys! you must have your hands full with 3 :)
Wow! That's one heck of a party - looks awesome! And all the food is so creative! LOVE IT!
What fun what fun! I love your pictures. I can't believe the food wasn't a hit it sure looks good. :)
Years ago in another state and another time I used dry ice in a Halloween punch and it worked super well. Also ice frozen in rubber gloves and then stuck in the punch to keep it cold works well too. ;)
That looks like one fun party. I agree with Joanna those roll-up sandwiches sure look yummy!!
something you do every year? way fun! and those costumes... what is it about kiddos in their costumes... always such a great memory!
i think the food looks awesome! great job!
