Here comes Halloween… just weeks away… Tot is already wanting to get a pumpkin. But in South Florida… NOT a wise choice. It rots within days. Every year the newspaper has a website to watch the rotting pumpkin. Instead, we’ll wait on the pumpkin and put out some decorations that don’t rot. I just picked up some small decorations for the yard the other day the boys can put out. I still need spider webbing for the front door… but it’s getting close!
In fact, I am seriously considering having a party. Just a few friends over for an early evening. Most of us have small kids and late nights just aren’t an option! It is also close to my hubby’s birthday. I don’t think we have ever had a party for him. And what a great excuse! The question would be what kind of halloween treats sound good? Homemade? Store bought? A combination of both? Maybe little cauldrons full of treats? Some cool flowers with fake spiders in them?
How about a cool cake for hubby? A spider looking cake? Or jack-o-lantern? Of maybe a bunch of cupcakes? Let the kids decorate most of them?
Just think about all the candy and goodies the kids (and adults) can have around Saturday, Oct 25th and then again on Halloween night. Yep, this is starting look like a good idea.
The best day of the year is the day after Halloween, when all the Halloween candy is half (or more) off. The day after Easter and Valentine’s Day are almost that good.
Peter: I soooo agree with you. I love going to the chocolate store here after all those days. Sometimes there is stuff left a couple of days later and it is 75% off… just ask Bou.. I always harass her about the dark chocolate bunnies that are left.
My all-time favorite holiday- Halloween.
I held a murder mystery party three years ago for adults- it was a blast. It was also pot-luck. Worked well.
Hippie had the children’s party.
Find a friend and do two parties!
we’re planning our halloween party
