Monster Mash

I hosted my 2nd annual Monster Mash--aka a Halloween party for all of Jacob's friends! The kids were so cute! I put 2 cheapo plastic table clothes down on my living room floor and put 2 kids tables on them for everyone to eat at. I also borrowed decorations from my mom and the kids loved the orange lights and cobwebs! I made PB&Js and cut them with Halloween cookie cutters, and had nuggets as the main course for the the kids, and chili for the adults. We had popcorn, chips, apples and caramel, corn bread and of course candy to snack on as well!

The costumes were so cute! Jacob was a puppy, and his friends were a frog, a blue monster, twin baseball players, a cowboy, 2 lady bugs, a princess and another puppy. The kids (sort of) made crafts. 2 were store bought foam projects and one was created by me! The kids made colorful ghosts out of paper plates cut in half, crepe paper strips, pom poms for noses and googley eyes. The kids mostly had fun playing in the play house, shooting hoops, sliding down the slide, making music and driving trucks--all of this in my basement! We attempted to get them all on the couch for a picture, but that proved impossible!

After the majority of the guests left, the remainder of the adults hung out and played Apples to Apples and Jacob watched Tangled with his 'girlfriend'. All in all it was a great party and I can't wait for next year when my princesses are in the mix!
