Happy Halloween from our crew to yours! Over the past few weeks, our class has been working on numbers 0-5. We thought making a witch out of our five fingers was a great way to celebrate both the number 5 and Halloween! Our handprint witch has a surprise though; her nose lights up! We used battery powered tea lights for the pointy nose.

Hi Boils and Ghouls! As the most magical holiday approaches, I thought I'd compile all the Halloween images that I've ever done! (Well, at least the ones on my computer.) So here they are! Happy Halloweeeeeeen!!! ~Rhode Also, here's a short Halloween-y movie intro that I made.
Boo! If you're having friends over for some spooky fun, look here for four different hauntingly creative Halloween party table decorations and menus!

To learn more about a specific image, please click on its title to be taken to its respective Flickr page.} ♥ ♥ ♥ Oohhh, how I've eagerly come to look forward to penning the Halloween edition of Flickr Favourites each year! There are so many marvelously festive images to be had on that huge communal photo (and illustration) sharing site and this year's crop of All Hallows Eve ones is amongst my favourites highlighted in this post to date. Halloween is always incredibly special to me - and many others the world over, too - but when it falls on Saturday, as it does this year, I can't help but adore it even more, because I'm reminded of the unbridled fun of my youth, when a Saturday Halloween meant that you could spend every moment of the day from dawn to midnight focused on the big day night itself - and without having to think about school the next day to boot! It's been a long, long time since I was last a student, but I still get every bit as giddy about Halloween. The classroom parties of yore are a distant memory, but not the celebrations I (we) host every October 31st at our house for loved ones. Costumes, scrumptious foods complete with more sugar than you shake an autumn leaf covered stick at all, handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, watching festive movies (camping, not scary, for me, please and thank you!) very much including my all-time favourite Halloween flick, Disney's Hocus Pocus, and listing to festive music all in a house decorated in no shortage of seasonal accoutrements, are all still the same sorts of things as back when I was little and I know that these treasured elements of Halloween will never change for me. They are to that day as presents, turkey, and Christmas carols are to December 25th, which - wow - come to think of it, is precisely two months away. Fabulous as that season is unto itself, I'm in no hurry to get there yet. At least not until November 1st, when the Halloween decorations come down the Christmas season plans and decorating start in earnest shortly thereafter. Nope, right here, right now, it's all about the cobwebs and scarecrows, candy apples and merriment of this fabulously festive autumn celebration. These playfully eerie elements will always, no matter if I live to be a hundred years old, bring out the kid in me and make me delight, in much as the same way as I did when I was knee high to pumpkin, over the spooky fun that All Hallows Eve! What are you looking forward to this Halloween, my sweet dears?
Download Like Dinosaur Dracula (who I have to give credit for releasing it waaay before me), I too had this tape and listened to it quite a bit as a kid. I actually still have the original tape from that time, but 3-4 years ago, as I was archiving old videos, CDs, and tapes, I ...

I Spy. Those two little words have filled endless hours of my children's lives. Starting with hours of waiting in pediatrician's offices with bored toddlers while we assessed why my oldest two daughters had rashes every other day (seriously, in one span we were in the doctor's office twice a week for about 4 months!), then
