Freaky Friday!

Halloween is my favorite holiday. Once a year I get to dress up in costume, shamelessly eat candy until my teeth rot and watch all the movies that will give me nightmares for the next month. I'm actually more excited about the Are You Afraid of the Dark and Goosebumps marathon than anything.

This will be the first year I get to pass out candy. I now understand why as kids we never got any Snickers or Reese Cups... candy is outrageously expensive! But since this is our first year in the neighborhood, we decided to splurge a little. Our front porch is decorated with mums and quirky jack-o-lanterns. I wanted to dress the dog up like a ghost to scare the kids but Jus said that was a bad idea. He would just chew the sheet up or lick everyone to death. I attempted to paint his nails green last night but he wouldn't sit still enough to let me do them. Sheesh, dogs these days!

A couple weeks ago Jus and I made Halloween Gifts for the girls in SACC at the Y. I've been watching these girls for over 2 years and since I wouldn't be working in the mornings anymore, I decided to do something nice. I put candy corn, M&M's, and peanuts in ghost bags (Jus picked out), tied spider rings and Halloween Silly Bands with ribbon to close the tops, then taped on crazy eyed glasses. Needless to say, they loved it!



 


What are your plans for Halloween?

  2. We have a local winery that has it shipped to them. I'm pretty sure I keep them in business, lol! It comes from a place in California, I know they will ship it to your home. Just google it :)
