Party time!

We decided to have a Halloween party all because of this invitation! We found this cute idea in a magazine and then re-produced it! Even though it was a fun party, I think the invite was the best!

The scroll inside says, "We're dying to have you over" with the party details. We had a few friends over from the ward. One fun thing we did was carve a pumpkin all together. Each person drew a piece of paper that said one part of the face (nose, left eye, right side of mouth, etc). After each person carved their part, they'd tape paper over it so nobody could see the other parts. Then we took off all the paper and it was pretty funny. Here's a pic of the result.

Oreo truffles that are so delicious! My new specialty, haha! I even drizzled some orange frosting on them to make them look more professional. I definitely need to work on my drizzling skills!

Some other snacks we had to go with our pizza!

I love pumpkin seeds! I saved these to bake for my kindergarteners!

I also took some pics of random decorations we have for Halloween. I promised Kyle's mom I'd send pics, so here ya go! These pumpkins are on our house lights, so they look cool at night.

One of my only "cutsie" things outside. Kyle wants the outside to be scary, haha!

My Halloween mat I got at Dollar Tree!

My cute scarecrow and frame. Kyle snuck a scull in there, lol.

Our graveyard

Nasty

This is what we picked at Michael's with our 40% off coupon, haha. Kyle is going to put a strobe light behind it. It actually looks pretty cool.

This isn't Halloween, just something I made at enrichment a few weeks ago.

It says, "Charlton Family Est. August 14, 2010"

And lastly... a peak at our costumes! I'm dressing up as a moose from "If you give a moose a muffin". We're supposed to dress like a book character for school. Hopefully I can get the moose ears to perk up. It was actually a fake moose rug I found at a thrift store and cut head and paws off, lol. Clever clever. Kyle is dressing as a star trek alien for those of you who don't know about

his Star Trek craziness, haha.

Happy Halloween everyone!
