Halloween Party Ideas

We will be serving some scary food: Apple bites (apple slices with almond teeth), bones and blood (refrigerator bread sticks shaped like bones and pizza dipping sauce), boogers on a stick (pretzel rods dipped in green tinted white chocolate), chocolate covered spiders (chow mein noodles mixed with melted chocolate morsels and dropped on waxed paper to harden), Vampire blood shakers (pink lemonade mixed with a shot of raspberry puree) and cupcakes decorated like bloodshot eyeballs and cat faces. And hot dogs, chips and dip for the faint of heart.

Prior to tick-or treating, the kids will do a scaredy cat scavenger hunt around our yard. Here are the clues which will be attached to beanie baby cats. The clues keep the kids in our yard and off the street for safety reasons.

As you go out on Halloween Eve, Watch out for the Bats and the Witches. For your first clue you'll have to look. At the back of the yard near the ditches! (near stream bed behind out house)

You've found the first clue. You are really quite bright! Look for the next clue under the closest Street Light! (street light in front of house)

Now scamper on down
To a bridge o're a stream
Watch out for the Ogre and
Try not to scream! (bridge over the stream behind our house)

This pumpkin not carved
And he is not glowing
Look near a tool that is
Used for lawn mowing! (near lawn mower in garage)

The crow is in the garden
The bats and Ghosts are set to fly
Look near the place
Where the growing pumpkins lie (pumpkin patch in back yard)

Now to pose for a picture
Put on your best face
Return to the Kitchen of
1910 Oriole Place! (Our house)

When they return from the scavenger hunt we'll take group pictures each party goer will receive a treat box filled with a few pieces of candy and a Halloween pin.

Post trick-or-treating (dad will tag along to make sure all goblins are kept safe, much to my daughters dismay!) we will watch not so scary movies (Clue, The Goonies) and eat popcorn hands and play flashlight tag in the back yard
