It's hard to believe, but October is just about half way gone. Which means... only a few weeks left before Halloween arrives on our doorstep, wearing a cute costume and saying, "Hey! Gimme candy!".
To that end, we spent some time this weekend doing several Halloween related tasks. First, I crawled around in the attic, looking for all the decorations. Once we had those back down on terra firma, Holly started going the boxes, sorting out the 'cool' from the 'why do we still have this'?
The kids, of course, are most excited about costumes and trick-or-treating. So yesterday we tooled around town looking for just the 'right' costume. I'm not going to reveal what the kids are going to be this year... yet.. but they are both looking forward to it. After Target, two costume/party stores, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and K-Mart, we had... nothing. Afterward, Holly did some hunting online, and had some success there. C's costume has been ordered, and Holly will be heading back to Target today to pick up D's. More on that later on.
After Holly sorted out the decorations, we went to work putting them up in the front yard. We've got a flying ghost, huge spider webs, and Snoopy as the Red Baron riding a pumpkin. I'm thinking about adding some more, but that will have to be next week sometime.
Aside from Halloween, it was another weekend of soccer, scout popcorn, laundry and chores. I need another day off.
Take care all.
