Happy Halloween

Some fun Halloween decorations I tried out this year.

These mice are my favorite Halloween decoration. I laminate them and put them all over my kitchen and the front of the house. You can find the template at mice template.

 This laminator by Purple Cow is only $20 at Costco.

This year I decided to paint my pumpkins instead of carve them. It is a really easy and quick way to decorate your house for Halloween. You print the letter in a Word document using a Halloween type font. Then you cut out each letter and cover one side with black paint. Carefully lay the letters on the pumpkins one at a time. Remove the letters right away so the paper won't stick to the pumpkin.

I love finding new kinds of candy. At one point Grant suggested I open a candy shop. I don't think that would be a "healthy choice" for me. :)

Here are some of my favorite Halloween candies from this year.

 

Candy Bones sold on Amazon.com.   Candy Bones
If you have kids you can also use them for a fun math activity at home. Dem Bones Graph
 Below are the sweet tart version of Candy Bones. They are not as cool but they taste a whole lot better.  I am biased because sweet tarts are one of my favorite candies. :)

Some bats to spice things up a little bit.

Lastly, the Happy Halloween sign for the garage.
