October 1st officially begins the month-long Halloween season. If you’ve been holding back, afraid of too much too soon, then hold back no more!
The Countdown to Christmas Challenge for today is to dust off your d
ecor, get out your goblins, and set out your spooky things. Kids get so excited when they are allowed to go through the Halloween tubs and boxes to unearth the Halloween treasures that have been hidden for the past 11 months.

Welcome to October! Florida is feeling the chill of the season this week. It’s SO nice.
We have a craft a week planned and are doing all sorts of fun Fall crafts right now. We’ve even made extras to send to the grandparents!! Lots of Fall fun for a four-year-old and his mama!

Wow, October already – where did the summer go? I love the fall and the anticipation of Christmas. We are empty nesters, but I still decorate for the season. I am going to pull out my decorations today.

Looks beautiful! I can’t wait for fall and winter weather and cooking!
I love Halloween probably even more than my kids! They always have parties at school in the afternoon but I always take the afternoon off from work to do Halloween stuff with them. They hate that they have to miss their parties but they love all the stuff we get to do. Make witches brew for dinner together, put up some ‘finishing touches’ decorations, play Halloween music, make Halloween Cupcakes, etc. It’s a total party! Squeeee! So Excited!
happy October!! I don’t own any Halloween decorations!!
