Halloween Birthday Bash {details}

Finally.... the last of the pictures from the party last weekend.  I have a few pictures of the details.  I wish I had taken more but that didn't happen.  We went through our Halloween decorations and used as much as we could.  It was so easy!!  I did make a few things but most everything else we already had.

We tore the mantel off and to distract from the gaping hole I hung up our Halloween artwork there, haha. (and for the record we still don't have a mantel)

I made a googly eye frame and Brady loved it!!

Another favorite, the bats!!  I really liked them because they distracted from the ugliness known as the kitchen.

I had the candy corn bunting, table runner and placemats, and magnetic skeleton from last Halloween.

I saw these mummy cupcakes made a few ways and this was my take on it.

I made these bags for each of the little kids so they would have it to trick or treat and then for the pinata.  Can you believe that you can buy a pumpkin pinata and candy corn in May??  Gotta love Oriental Trading and amazon.com.

So the kids trick or treated around the house and Brady loved it!! 

As soon as I saw this idea I knew I HAD to make it.  I took Brady to Target with me the day I bought the mini marshmallows.  He told everyone we saw about how "my mom is making ghost poop for my birthday party."  Imagine the weird looks we got.

I don't remember where I saw this idea and I didn't pin it so who knows.  Very easy, wrap a Hershey's bar in white streamers and insert googly eyes.

I made this orange soda bottle jack o lantern.

I made this adorable embroidered spider web.  Mine looks just like one on that site but I guess I never took a picture of it.
