On Friday, we put on a little Halloween party at our house for our playgroup.

It was so fun!

I had a great time — and I’m pretty sure the kids did too.

Maybe because Tom is getting a bit older, but this year I was really into Halloween. I wanted pretty much every decoration from the Dollar Tree (and you’ll see that I mostly did) and I couldn’t wait to do Halloween crafts with him this year.

This party gave me an excuse to decorate and craft to my heart’s content.

Here’s how it looked…

Arrrgh! It’s pirate Tom!

Sarah and Alice hanging out.

W-HOO, W-HOO loves this baby owl? (Me, me, me!)

Best. Picture. EVER!! Seriously, I cannot stop laughing at it. Everything about it is awesome. I may have it framed.

Crafty girls!

I knew my nephew, Gus, would love this pumpkin “toss” game because he loves balls. LOVES.

Little Drew is so intimidating.

Witch Pitch! I made this (thanks, Pinterest!) and the kids pretty much psycho-loved it. They loved tossing the candy corn in the buckets and they loved just filling the buckets with the candy. It was a huge hit. (And it was my sister’s favorite part, too.)

No idea how all my streamers got torn down…Little stink!

Abbey dominating pin-the-nose-on-the-pumpkin!

This is what toddlers look like when you tell them they can have the cupcakes now.

Cutest. Cupcake. Eaters. Ever.

Maxine really knows how cupcake-eating should be done. LOVE!

Drew-baby!

I’m showing off the goody bags because they were my favorites. Do they look like bats flying in front of a moon? Because they’re supposed to and I think they do. So easy! Yay!

There was one tired Cinderella after the party.

We had a wonderful time and I’m so happy our playgroup let me do it! I had so much fun putting everything together and watching all the kids in their costumes. So cute!

And they even did a “marching band parade” around the house about 20 times.

It was quite awesome and sounded really good.

(One part of that sentence is true.)

Hope y’all have a happy and safe Halloween! LOVE.
