Adult Joker Nurse Halloween Costume (Size Large)

Halloween will be here before you know it so if you haven't started thinking about costumes, you should. If you have children like myself they will need costumes to dress up for school and other area events

Why? Because it's fun. Kids love dressing up in costumes and having a reason to celebrate. Halloween is one of the most enjoyable holidays of the year as it offers all ages the opportunity to play the child, whether by donning costumes or eating the candy meant for trick-or-treaters. A fun way to celebrate the holiday is by hosting a Halloween party.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of kill joys out in the world. Therefore, you need to research area events and plan a schedule so that your children can celebrate Halloween safely.

Step 1

look for area Halloween celebrations that are safe and fun for children. Look in the newspaper, some are published on the internet. Look in your weekly free community ad paper, notices sent home by schools, and community calendars on radio website. Check with area churches to see what they are planning for Halloween.

Step 2

Decide on a schedule of activities for the week before Halloween. Many events begin a few weeks before Halloween such as haunted houses, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, hay rides, Zoo Boo, and apple picking complete with homemade apple cider. Some of these even reinforce science class information and help the children learn.

Step 3

Carve pumpkins with your children several days before Halloween. If your children are very young, let them draw the face and you cut it out. Then let them help scoop all the goo and seeds out. Don't forget to save the seeds and bake them in the oven to munch on later.

Step 4

Take your kids trick or treating. Halloween can be a very fun holiday for children. Taking them out to get candy is one of the best ways to celebrate Halloween with your children. Be careful though. Check the candy that they are given to make sure that it is safe. Most of all, be safe. Halloween is a holiday of tricks. There are many people that will be out trying to ruin the holiday for some people. Go out in groups so that you are not walking alone.

Adult Men's Deluxe Gorilla Halloween Costume

While your kids are having a blast trick-or-treating, you're working up a storm back home, trying to scrape a feast together for the Halloween party. If that's how it goes for you every year, maybe it's time you changed the menu. There are lots of Halloween party foods that set the right mood without taking up your whole evening. Try these five quick ideas.

Pumpkin shell soup: Serve your soup right in the pumpkin shell! Look for one with a thick, hard shell and a sturdy base. After carving out the flesh, pat the shell dry, spray with baking oil, and bake until the skin is a deep orange. Pour in your soup or stew and you've got a main dish that's both classy and creative.

Chunky chili: If party soups aren't your thing, a pot of chili makes a great alternative. Use larger chunks to give it more bite and play up the spiciness. Pair it with some potatoes, or bread sticks. You can serve them in the pumpkin shell as well-just make sure to dry it well or you'll get pumpkin-flavored chili!

Halloween cupcakes: One of the quickest ways to rescue your party, Halloween cupcakes are known for their creative designs and kid-friendly flavors. If you don't have time to bake, just buy a whole box and decorate them with homemade colored frosting. Throw in some jelly, gummy candies, and licorice to create a gooey texture.

Caramel apples: This healthy dessert is perfect for kids who have a sweet tooth, and for moms who have no time to cook. Make a thick, gooey caramel sauce-the gooier, the better! Keep them in the fridge before serving to help the caramel firm up. Serve on colorful Halloween sticks to add to the party mood.

Finger food and dips: You can turn everyday chips and sticks into Halloween fare by getting creative with your dips. Just add some food color and chunky spices to create "otherworldly" condiments. Just dump your chips on a plate, place a variety of gooey dips in the center, and let your guests sample each one.
