Along Came a Spider Halloween

Spiders and spider webs are a Halloween staple. They are inherently creepy, but the black and white design can also be sophisticated or fun in Halloween decor, costumes, and treats!   With all of my spare time, I teach music classes for kids. Last year during Halloween time, I was teaching the “Black Spiders” semester of […]

Glow in the Dark Trunk or Treat Backdrop DIY

I’ve been on a bit of a glow-in-the-dark kick lately. It started with my son’s Laser Tag Birthday (which will be up on the blog very soon), and transitions nicely into Halloween! I was already scheming up some glow in the dark ideas for our trunk for this year’s Trunk or Treat when I was given […]

An Old-Fashioned Family Halloween Party

Do you remember the days of cake walks, bobbing for apples, and old-fashioned carnival -type games on Halloween? We do and wanted to give our kids a taste of what a simple family Halloween party was like back in the day, so we threw a simple but fun Old-Fashioned Family Halloween party. I am excited […]

Simple Spooky Spider Sign

Is there anything that invites the Halloween willies into your home like lots of creepy crawly spiders? This spiderful sign was really simple to make. I originally posted about it as a blog swap over on Somewhat Simple a year or two ago. I realized it hadn’t made it’s debut here on My Insanity, yet, […]

Family Costume Parade 2013

It is my tradition each year to show you a parade of our family costumes from years past. Each year the parade gets a little longer. This year I get to add last year’s costumes as well as this year’s costumes because they have already been revealed. 2013 I knew it was only a matter […]

Family Halloween Costumes and Truffula Tree Treats

Have you chosen Halloween costumes yet for this year? If you have been paying attention, you already know what my family will be this Halloween. We have a long-established tradition of dressing up as a family. I guess it is a little more work in the planning-stages, but we all love it! We sit around […]

Halloween Family Costume Parade 2012

Have you started thinking about Halloween, yet? It has become a tradition for our family to dress as a group each year. My kids actually LOVE this tradition and through out the year can often be heard suggesting and “casting” a favorite theme. We know what we are doing this year, but the how isn’t […]

Halloween Reprise

 Ok. I know I said I was done with Halloween and I’m pretty sure you all are, too. But I have just a few more pics to share. I was able to get pictures of the kids in their costumes in the daylight, Monday before they went Trick-or-Treating.  I also wanted to show you the […]

Have an OZ-some Halloween

So I think you all figured it out! We had an OZ-some time at our church’s Halloween party on Saturday night. And we went as the Characters from The Wizard of Oz! Of course, we were running a little behind schedule, so the light was about gone by the time we started taking pictures. I […]

Outdoor Decor – Easy ghosts

Boo! I showed you the indoor Halloween decorations and promised some outdoor decor, too. Thanks to Pinterest, I found an easy way to add a little more impact to our outdoor decor this year, with out spending any money!  This idea was originally from Lowes, I think. I took the tomato cages from the garden (the plants were […]
