Halloween!!

This month officially starts the Holiday Season for me...woohoo!! I've gotten things ready for Andrew's Spooktacular birthday party and the house is quite haunted, thank you very much! The yard is very welcoming, if you dare open the gate! hehehehe

Christmas is my favorite holiday, but Halloween is a very close second. I love all the fun decorations and silly foods and crazy antics this time of year brings. I don't care for the gorey part of Halloween, yet, since the kids are so small, but maybe someday we'll have dead bodies scattered about.

The Great Pumpkin showed up Oct 1 and has really been nice to the kids. He brought them candy, decorated fresh chocolate chip cookies with candy corn, made mini cheesecakes, and I'm sure he's got more ideas up his sleeve!

This month I hope to take the kids to the Pumpkin Patch here in town. It's a nice tradition that Andrew has enjoyed, but we'll see how Ava does. I'm sure she'll have a great time. It would also be a great time to visit the San Antonio Zoo since the weather is so nice these days.

Happy Halloween!
