Kids Halloween party inspirations

In our house the kids have been counting down the days to Halloween since the first glimpse of Halloween outfits, decorations, trick blood etc appeared on the shelves in our local shops in September. 22 days ago to be precise. With ´only´ 23 more ´sleeps´ to go, their outfits have been carefully chosen and tried on a dozen times. The girl is doing ´Monster High meets Sabrina the Teenage Witch´s Cat´ (can´t remember his name) and the boy is quite simply ´a scary clown with green hair´. 

Halloween is a big event at our house as our neighbours in the urbanisation where we live make a huge effort dressing up, ´trick or treating´ and generally having a great time. All of our kids´ friends love to come to our house for the occasion so I go all out to give them a good time. This year I am planning a ´Cats and Bats´ theme for the house decor and party table. Usually the kids cannot wait to get out in the urbanisation to do some trick or treating so the food comes in handy when they are tired and thirsty after gathering all their loot.

The parents don´t get left out though, they are treated to red wine aka ´Bats Blood´. Purely to get into the party spirit of course ;)
