In the air....

I am usually not so excited for Halloween.  I think it's a combination of many things.  Expectations for this holiday are pretty low.  Really, all you need are a couple of cool signs your handy husband made a few years ago.

10 bags of candy corn bought after Halloween long ago for 5 cents a bag.  All little kids flock to this jar and I just tell them the candy was bought before they were even born and if they eat it they will get sick, which would hold true even if it wasn't stale.   And all those cute but soon to be put in the garbage Halloween projects from school.

Add in some cute retro Halloween books from the Goodwill and you're done!

There really is no holiday shopping to be done other than candy which I must say is a lot this year.  I need 1 bag each per Wallwork child for school.  A few bags for our Halloween party on Friday night.  Oh, did I mention we are having a party.  Emry and Kylee are in charge, it's going to be AWESOME!  A few bags for trunk-or-treating Sat. night and of course a few bags for Sunday which is actually Halloween.  Whew, that's more sugar than I've bought all year.


As for costumes, I have the same guidelines every year.  Whatever you can find around the house, at Goodwill or in the dress up box is what you'll be.  This year it extends to Grandma's and Auntie Netty's house as well, so their options are practically endless.


Tomorrow the teachers will all be receiving these...
