Well, it's that time of year again. Fall is here and Halloween is right around the corner. As a child I loved Halloween. My mom would decorate the house and make fun Halloween treats with us. We would listen to fun Halloween music. We had fun Halloween parties at school and went to parties at friends' houses. On Halloween night my parents would take my brother and me trick-or-treating and then we'd watch Disney's Halloween Treats, It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and other fun kid-friendly Halloween shows while my parents would go through our candy. My dad would tell us about how he had to make sure the candy was safe for us to eat, but all I noticed was that he would eat the good candy and we'd get upset. HA HA. I am happy to continue some of these fun traditions with my kids. We always decorate the yard and we usually decorate the boys' room but this year they asked to decorate the living room instead. This afternoon they helped Jacob do just that. We put Pandora radio on the Family Halloween station and the boys and Kaitlyn danced around to the music while helping Jacob with decorations. Jacob set a cauldron out as a decoration and the boys were playing cauldron basketball with it and a Scooby-Doo ball. Kaitlyn walked around with a trick-or-treat bucket. It was just a lot of fun!
You know I took pictures so here are some pictures of our afternoon of decorating for Halloween. We have more Halloween fun to come, too. ;) Our kids won't be little for long so we are enjoying EVERY minute of this!
Logan and Jacob decorating the living room for Halloween. The boys loved it!
The boys have a book called "Here They Come." It is about the monsters having a party on Halloween night and hiding from "the scariest sight of all" which turns out to be kids trick-or-treating. It is such a cute book. There is one monster named Honaby who is just a hat with legs and feet. For some reason Kaitlyn reminded me of that while she was walking around in this big hat.
Kaitlyn loves this blue trick-or-treat bucket. Jacob said she is practicing. LOL
Jacob hung his werewolf mask and Logan said, "Cool! It looks like you killed a werewolf and mounted his head on the wall like you would a deer." Oh, life with boys. HA HA I said it was creepy but the boys say they like it.
