Budget Halloween ideas

This year I really wanted to celebrate Halloween properly. This year I'm at my boyfriend's house so decorating will be on a budget as to ease him into the idea of Halloween. So I started out with the average bats, spiders and cardboard cut out skeletons and then I found GARDEN GNOMES (which I love) and came up with the idea of ZOMBIFYING them (I love zombies too).

Before


After

They're utterly disgusting and bloodtastic. They cost $8 each and I used black and red paint for blood. Nothing more but a few foam letters for the 'brains' sign. Less than $10 each! I don't think I'll put them in the front yard.. haha.

My son is Stewie Griffin

My two year old boy picked out a duck costume back in May. He thought it was great in the shop but when he tried it on at home he hated it and has never worn it since these two photos were taken.


So imagine my amusement when I finally got around to seeing the Halloween episode of Family Guy and Stewie Griffin was dressed as a duck (a vampire duck mind you but still a duck) I think it's classic. Especially since I was talking up on dressing my boy as Stewie Griffin for months earlier this year. Turns out Stewie dressed as my son! Squee. Super cute.


Wait if my son is Stewie Griffin... does that make me Lois?

Zombie Cupcakes

Halloween this year kind of sucked. The kids and I were sick with possibly with a zombie virus or possessed by a demon. Either way, we couldn't celebrate in our true form. So I've made up for Halloween today by finally making zombie cupcakes. Yes they're brainalicious. They're even injected with what I call the Jam Virus (rasberry jam) and are tasty little decaying cupcakes indeed. Nothing much to the recipe. Basic Amy Sedaris cupcake recipe, mix a little green food colouring, cut open, fill with jam and top pink frosting in a brain squiggly type pattern. Done.

Next year I'm definately going to plan a big Halloween event and party. Complete with scary zombies coming out of the ground in my backyard. I adore the fact my kids aren't scared of such things. They know it's not real and that Mummy can kill any monster that appears. Kinda. Godzilla would be a tough one..
