    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.

If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! We just picked up our youngest daughter from summer camp yesterday. She had so much fun and met new people. The drive to her camp was beautiful. When we dropped her off last week, I took this picture of a cow as it passed by.  At that moment, I was reminded of all the beauty that surrounds us. Here in Colorado, like many other places, we are battling wildfires. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, including families, wildlife, firefighters, and others who have been working so hard to deal with these fires. It's been dry and windy, and we could honestly use some moisture. Wishing you all a ...
