My boys have really been into "spooky" this year. I have never been one to decorate for Halloween but they had so much fun looking at everything spooky Target had to offer I couldn't help but jump on board. We made their room a little extra spooky by DIYing a BOO sign, Making some Gourd monsters, hanging bats, adding a spider web and DIYing a Felt Ghost Garland (found here).

Invitations
This post is Sponsored by Basic Invite. Parties are a frequent occasion around here with 4 kids. I actually think we have officially mastered the art of throwing a good party.
