I've been meaning to post this blog for a few days but I've been so busy prepping for Halloween. It's not even a real Holiday but sometimes I feel like it is. With the number of things I put on my to do list, you would think it's Christmas - just a whole lot cheaper...and not nearly as stressful. At Halloween I love to get creative with costumes, baking and decorating. I totally feel in my element when I'm busy creating and although I often loose countless hours of sleep in the process, it's all worth it when I see those big smiles appear on all of my children.
It's also a great time of year to get involved in events around your community. This past weekend we took the entire family to our local community centre for their annual Freaky Fright Night. We also ran into Batman (and his Batmobile) while visiting the Ford Dealership in town. Last but not least, we participated in a running race that took place in our very own neighbourhood! (stay tuned for photos from the run in one of my November blogs). What I love most about these events is the opportunity to meet up with family and friends. I'm not going to lie...I love living in a smaller town because I thoroughly enjoy never being able to leave my house without running into someone I know. Not to mention I truly look forward to any conversation with anyone over the age of 5 -ha!
Be sure to check out these exciting events as well as others...next year is just around the corner! https://www.caledonenterprise.com/whatson-story/6927322-6-great-halloween-themed-events-happening-around-caledon/
As for the actual day of Halloween, who doesn't enjoy seeing their kids all dressed-up in their costumes...they're just so darn cute! On a side note: this past weekend I stocked up on Halloween costumes from Winners - they were all 70% off! I bought 4 of them for under $30. I plan on using them for Christmas gifts and lots of dress up fun (something my kids love to do). My hubby and I are also planning to dress up this evening but I still have some last minute things to gather up. Our kids have been begging us to tell them our theme this year but we've decided to keep it a surprise - fingers crossed all goes well!
Some things I've been working on the past few days and a few photos from all the festivities...
Have a safe and spooky Halloween night!
