Halloween Hooplah


We decided to have a Halloween Party this year, possibly an annual tradition! We had 4 or 5 families come for a fun costume party complete with games for the kids and candy all around. We had a costume contest with 3 winners. We also had a spider search. We hid plastic spider rings, 100 of them all over the entire house. The kids each got a bag and went searching for spiders. The winner got a prize....yes, candy. Last, we played a literal "Trick or Treat" game. Each couple had a bag of candy at a station somewhere in our house. The kids went "trick or treating" to each station. The catch was, though, that they had to do a "trick" before they were allowed to have a treat! So each couple came up with their own "trick" to have the kids do.

Here's our giant spiderweb made out of yarn wrapped around our banister on the loft. The kids loved it of course. Then we adorned it with the fake spiderwebs. It was a hit! This couple used the spiderweb as their "trick" and made the kids try to climb through it without touching the "lazer beams."
At this station, the kids had to win an iPhone game:-)

Here, the kids had to rub their belly and pat their head at the same time in order to get their treat!
Look who is having a great time!!!
