HALLOWEEN FUN FOR KIDS

Mr. Jack O’Lantern!

Halloween is my favorite holiday hands down – in the candy bowl that is!  That’s right, I LOVE costumes and I LOVE candy. My favorite Halloween treat is Reese Peanut Butter cups. I can’t hand them out for Halloween because it’s three for me and one for them.  I have learned over the years the safest route to not gaining to many Halloween lbs is to buy candy you don’t’ like.  Lollipops and Tootsie Rolls seem popular and safe enough to have 5 pounds of it in our house. Once my waistline is safe, it’s time to get three boys in costumes.  There are so many cute costumes out there this year!  We of course have already had to exchange Cooper’s costume because he has changed his mind.  After being batman for two years he has decided this year to be Stevie from Minecraft. Yes I am embarrassed to admit the hours my kids spend on Minecraft and to my husband’s horror they watch tutorials on how to play Minecraft. And now, they are both Minecraft characters for Halloween.  The challenge is we have to make the costumes.  I am not a DIY mom.  I am a FMDIYSU (Fix My Do It Yourself Screw-Up) mom much to my husband’s chagrin.  So he is going to be making these costumes and if you have any input, please let me know.  Here are pictures of Stevie and Creeper from Minecraft .

The costumes are not the only things my kids also love the Doozycards.  They love to laugh at the Halloween ecards.  Check out Doozycards Halloween ecards for kids. My teenager and his cousins wrote the Halloween Aliens ecard.

LOL HALLOWEEN

The little witch mice are tickling a rib. He’s a very humerus skeleton, ha ha!

My first grader, Cooper, got into the car yesterday and said, “How do you make a skeleton laugh? Tickle his humerus bone,” he said while cracking up.  He was very pleased with his joke so we gave him some more to tell his friends. Here they are:

Who won the skeleton beauty contest?  Nobody.

Why was the Mummy tense?  He was all wound up.

What kind of streets do ghosts haunt?  Dead ends.

Who did the ghost invite to his party?  Oh, anyone he could dig up.

Why does Dracula say he’s a good artist?  Because he likes to draw blood.

What’s a Vampire’s favorite candy?  An all-day sucker.

I am here to tell you, all kids love Halloween humor.  If you are feeling like a kid again and want to tickle some humerus bones, you can send some of our funny Halloween ecards to your friends and family.  Check out our funny Halloween ecards.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING, GET READY!

We just finished our bevy of new Halloween ecards in time for you laugh and entertain your friends. Our new Zombie ecards actually features the theme song from “The Munsters”!!! We were very lucky to be able to use this music through our good friends at Inner Splendor Media who recorded this rocking version of the Munsters theme on their new Halloween album, “Halloween Music“.

What does Halloween conjure up for you?  A sinister mood?  Do you like the dark and macabre costumes?  If so, you’ll love our scary ecard. It has cool Halloween music and spooky images.

Does Halloween make you a tricky prankster?  Do you like candy bowls where hands pop up and cocktails with eyeballs in them? You might like this funny Halloween ecard  where Frankenstein and Dracula play a joke on their friend, the Mummy.

Or does Halloween bring out all your silliness?  Your costume is usually the most absurd item or person you can think of.  You’re the whoopie cushion or, this year, you want to be Honey Boo Boo?  Then, you’d probably like to send your romantic interest this romantic Halloween joke ecard.  If you’re like my two little boys, you like to pay homage to what you love.  Oliver and Cooper are both going as Minecraft characters – Creeper and Stevie.  Last year I went as Marge from the Simpsons.  It was fun because kids recognized Marge and babies loved my foot and half of blue hair.

Whatever Halloween brings out in you, share your own unique Halloween spirit with friends and family with a large variety of our Halloween ecards from silly to sinister.

Politics And Ecards, A Perfect Union

 

Here are Obama and Romney from each of their versions of the completely silly Dancing Candidates cards.

WHY SEND POLITICAL ECARDS?

At Doozcards, I think you’ll be relieved to know we don’t’ take a political stand. We try to find the humorous side of the election.  Here and there over the years, a couple of customers have accused us of favoring one side or the other, but our office actually is a mix of both parties.  We often joke that our votes cancel each other out. These days we all need a sense of humor about American politics.  In our house, we’ve been watching the debates and we had a lot of reactions.  “Why did he say that?”  “Is he really making that point?” Of course, the internet is teaming with a lot of heated opinions.  Jon Stuart, Stephen Colbert and SNL keep me laughing about this election. This SNL satire of the debates gives some good giggles. We should keep our sense of humor, especially if we want to keep all our friends right? If you want to keep your sense of humor about the election, send silly ecards from our Political Ecards page. When we made the Obama Dancing Birthday ecard and the Mitt Romney Dancing Birthday ecard, I could not stop laughing.  The costumes are so absurd, especially the Korean flag dancing one.   We have a mix of funny political ecards and some musical political ecards.  Also, if you are looking for political ecards for free we have some in our free ecards section.

Here’s a link to the hilarious SNL debate spoof:  http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/gop-debate-cold-opening/1358180
