Entry FeedFor weeks we have busy with Halloween prep. A pumpkin farm was visited, ghosts were hung in our tree, a grave yard set up in the garden, costumes selected, and now time for treats.
Holidays weren't this crazy when we were kids!
Our decorations are good, but I can't get over how many beautifully decorated home there are in our neighbourhood! I leave all holiday decor to Husband and the kids as they seem to be the ones to get the biggest fun out of it. Our dollar store cobwebs have seen better years. Our tree ghosts are also loosing some of their spookiness.
Husband and the kids carved the pumpkins earlier in the week. The farm that we visited sold them at a cost of three for $25. Add that to our entrance fee, cost of hot dogs and french fries for lunch, and gas to get there, and these are definitely the most expensive pumpkins ever! The boys insist on carving their own, while Husband did Daughter's. They are out, sitting on our porch, patiently awaiting the first trick-or-treaters.
Son One has stuck with his costume preference theme of ghosts and ghouls. He has been a ghost, a vampire, and this year is a zombie.
Son Two is more random - a purple monster, a werewolf, and this year a clone trooper from Star wars.
Daughter is going as Little Red Riding Hood, but she calls herself, Ruby Red Riding Hood after an episode of Max and Ruby that she saw.
Candy has been purchased - and sorted. All of our favourites have been picked out so that we don't have them out by accident.
A few hours to go... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
