    The pumpkin carving contest is a great idea for our family. I think I will challenge my oldest son to a duel!

    These are great ideas for celebrating Halloween at home. I especially like the idea of dressing up and making some spooky Halloween treats. Still a lot of fun for the kids.

    Dance parties are my favorite at any time. While we don't celebrate Halloween, the activities you mention are great for any time at home. I will be noting some of them down to do with the kids.

    Great list. We plan on playing the games at home and dress up. There is a big chance we also do an online holiday spirit d&d like game.

    I can't wait to grab a pumpkin and do some pumpkin carving. Last year, we held a fundraiser at my house on Halloween night where the community was encouraged to drop off non-perishable food items for the local food bank while out trick or treating. To help decorate, we ended up carving 30 pumpkins that were placed all over my yard. It was great!

    Great ideas! Baking an autumn-themed treat and then eating it while watching one of those movies sounds heavenly. Paint along videos are a great idea, too - I didn't realise they existed but it makes a lot of sense.

    I love halloween for the movies! Every year my husband and I make it a point to watch Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, and Charlie Brown. My husband is also a small child at heart, so every time he goes to the grocery store, he brings home candy for himself. I think we end up with bags of candy for a month or two after. I've been contemplating pumpkin carving this year as well.

    I love the Pooh's Heffalump idea! So unique. We lately have been staying home and watching Harry Potter. :) The pumpkin carving idea is a great one, too. Visiting from Crazy Little Lovebirds linkup.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...
