Tonight is the big night for our family Halloween Party.
After our hot dog roast with spider dip and chips, finger carrots, spooky drinks, pudding cups with worms and other Halloween goodies, we are playing games, doing footprints, carving pumpkins and decorating cookies.

Here are a few of the games we are playing:
Picture Scavenger Hunt
Because all the little people in my life are too young to read I found pictures of the places in our yard that things will be hidden - I ran off a copy for each person and they can find the treasures that are there waiting for them in any order they want.
Here are the items for the Scavenger Hunt:
Marshmallow Ghost
I included pictures of how to make it because it was a little tricky till I figured it out.
Cut a long piece of saran wrap and put a handful of mini marshmallows in the middle.
Fold up the ends
Then roll it
Add a face
Hanging Hands
Latex gloves filled with popcorn with a ribbon added
Mummy Candy Bars
I used strips of toilet paper wrapped around a candy bar, but you can use fabric scraps, crepe pepaer etc.
Sucker Spider
I wrapped the top in black tissue then twisted the legs on and added eyes.
Carmel balls and Glass Suckers
Favorite recipes for these are at the end of the post
Wood Pumpkins
I found a bunch of end pieces from 2x4's, painted them orange, added faces and glittered the cheeks. They are totally cute!
My husband was the scout master 25 years ago - the scounts loved it - it became part of our own Halloween tradition long ago - wouldn't be Halloween without this game!
Carving Pumpkins!
Foot Prints
We are going to to a foot print on a piece of wood for each child to take home - much like the board I did in a previous post but it will be for each child.
