My oldest son LOVES pasta...so how easy is that little trick. Marshmellows and apple slices - easy peasy and they will go nuts!!!<br /><br />And, I'm a huge fan of the adorable pumpkin carvings above. I have to admit, I love Halloween but am much more about the fun aspect than the scary.<br /><br />Have a great weekend and thanks for the brilliant ideas!!<br /><br />xoxo ElizabethAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395215787881578608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-24697635673422114832011-10-22T08:01:09.849-07:002011-10-22T08:01:09.849-07:00So cute,,,I bet you do some of the most amazing an...So cute,,,I bet you do some of the most amazing and fun things for your grandchildren.

Tickets are sold out weeks in advance. People were laughing all the way through. I was completed freaked out! I like my Halloween to be about the harvest and witches, and to keep it "nice" (a little wicked doesn't hurt, but to a certain point). Hate horror movies! Love the inspiration, Kathysue.

You'll have to check out the Linus pumpkin that Kim from <a href="http://maidendshade.blogspot.com/2011/10/linus-pumpkin.html" rel="nofollow">Maiden D'Shade</a> linked up to my <a href="http://sugarnspiceinthelandofballsnsticks.blogspot.com/2011/10/before-blogging-throwback-thursdays.html" rel="nofollow">BBTT party</a>. Right up your alley.<br /><br />Love the witch legs on the party table - I may have to use that on one of the tables this year. Love the frankenstein pudding cups, too. I actually used that last year.

My children aren't afraid of spiders, animals, snakes, etc...it is all in the "marketing" of how we present. Lovely presentations here! So cute, fun and inviting. I just went through all of these with my two kids and they LOVED it all! Enthusiastically yelling "mom, can we do that to every image!" Have a great weekend...hope it is fun filled!Hamptontoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728092071090568167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-8425788152678686302011-10-21T02:45:13.926-07:002011-10-21T02:45:13.926-07:00This is soooo cute!!!
