Last Minute Halloween Crafts, DIY Projects, Recipes & More!

I love Halloween!  I enjoy all the fun baking, crafting and spending time with the family.  I have amazing memories from every Halloween, even back to when I was a little girl.  However, my all-time favorite memories, the one that still makes me giggle every time I think about it was last year.  OMG, my daughter Vayda wore this Sumo Baby costume from Kmart that was just too darn funny!  Every single house we went to people giggled and I made her walk in front of me so that I could watch her walk in her HUGE Blow Up Baby Sumo Costume.  I will never forget the way she looked walking down the sidewalk in that costume.

We still have not carved pumpkins this year, but it’s only because I’m waiting until right before Halloween so they stay good.  I’m honestly kicking myself for not just painting them, next year we will do that so we can enjoy them longer.  Just because we haven’t done any pumpkin carving doesn’t mean we haven’t done some Halloween crafts.

We have done several here are a few of my favorite:

 Turned out fabulous but I should have named the cookies after Jack rather than Zombies, but hey you live and learn.  Next year I will not forget to think about movie characters because my daughter Vayda is still picking on me for this one, lol.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because it’s fun, I get to spend extra time with my kids doing crafts and baking, and it’s also the start of the holiday season!  I love Halloween; I often think I look forward to it more than my kids, lol.  Hey, Halloween isn’t just for kids!  Did you know that more than 67 percent of American believe that Halloween is not just for the kids?  Halloween considered to be a family event by more and more people this year, especially because Halloween lands on a Saturday this year.  It makes it the perfect excuse to get dressed up with the kids and enjoy some of the fall events and activities happening in your area.

I just finished up my Halloween shopping last night!  I know, but I had a few last minute items I needed to grab from Kmart.  They have some awesome costumes and Halloween accessories for the whole family!  Did you know they have more than 5,000 Halloween costumes?

They do, everything from Marvel’s Avengers™ to the super cute Minions™ is available when you visit your local Kmart or head over and visit Kmart.com.

If you’re like me and put a few Halloween items off until the last minute is sure to check out Kmart.  Not only do they have awesome costumes and Halloween accessories from now until 10/31 you can score your Halloween candy on sale – Mars, Hershey, or Nestle fun size candy bags for only $5, but you better hurry the sale only lasts until supplies run out!  You’ll also want to be sure to take the kids by Kmart on October 31st because the first 100 kids who are 12 years or younger will receive a free fun size candy bar at every Kmart store location.  To make things even more fun when you wear your costumes you’ll get a coupon for an additional 5 percent off your total purchase of $30 or more that day!  SWEET RIGHT!
