Halloween is just around the corner and preparations are in full swing all over the country.
Yards are being decorated with all the colors of fall, the scarecrows are coming out of the sheds and here and there we might already see huge spiders hanging. Resting in their cob webs hanging from trees in peoples front yards.
We all know what this mean. The scariest night of the year is almost here. The kids already know what they want. Pumpkins scarier than the neighbors Lanterns and costumes you would not even begin to dream of.
Wait a minute, isn’t that what Halloween night is all about? Candy, kids and costumes. It sure is, and guess what? A cool costume is a must, your kids will agree with that.
The question then is how you get away with getting them a cool costume for a reasonable price? Have you ever considered making them yourself? With some help and guidance it is not as hard as you think it is.
For kids, Halloween is all about costumes and pumpkins, even all the candy has to come second to this. Why not get a book with Halloween ideas and have your kids go thru it with you, that way they become a part of it all from the very beginning.
In other words, they will have a say in how their costumes, pumpkins and your Halloween decorations should be. Doing it yourself gives such a satisfaction.
Tell you what, you are running out of time. All you have is less than a month to get ready. Each day is a day lost if you are not prepared, so get some great ideas together and get started.
Along with costumes, there are also a lot of ideas out there when it comes to anything that has to do with Halloween. Such as: pumpkin carving, pumpkin recipes, Halloween decorations, treats and even cool ideas for trick and treaters.
Trick or Treat?
Happy Halloween.
