Ethan (hearts) Halloween

The biggest fan of Halloween in our family is Ethan!
I just had to have a party for him this year and he helped in the preparations.
We made Halloweeny decorations out of milk jugs (I got the idea from Family Fun).
Here is Ethan painting the ghost.
He did a great job, even if he got paint all over the table and him. It all came out pretty easy and it was fun.
Here are the finished products!
Mike got into the decorating thing too and put up a spider web with a spider he made.
It was a lot of fun!! We started out by making bats out of balloons then worked together in teams to put a skeleton together (more Family Fun ideas).
Then we had the kids feel all kinds of monster guts and body parts. This is where they had to enter!!!
And then through the tubes, just to make it even spookier
All the kids waiting to feel all those body parts
guts=oily spaghetti
eyeballs=peeled grapes
ears=dried apples
brains=cooked oatmeal
fingers=hotdogs
Thank you Gavin for giving all the other kids the courage to touch all those nasty body parts!
For treats, the kids decorated cookies and looked at more than drank putrid punch (another Family Fun idea). Yeah it looked gross but it's pretty yummy!
One half of the table decorating cookies and having fun!
The other half of the table.
I just may have to make this a yearly thing for my kids...Emma jumped right up in there and wanted to participate with all the kids too!
