We've got a little orange and black around here and the excitement is brewing. Everyday, Hannah keeps asking me when her butterfly wings will be arriving. Somehow she agreed to one costume idea and hasn't wavered. I was almost certain that her costume choices would change with each day. But a butterfly she will be. That means that our Kate bug will be an accompanying Ladybug. Luckily, Kate doesn't voice her costume opinions yet, so we're good to go.
We've had the same Halloween dinner of tortilla soup with a few families at our house for the last two years, but I'm not sure that qualifies it as a tradition. I'd love to start the tradition of homemade donuts and cider after trick-or-treating, but honestly, I'm not sure what we'll be doing since the big day falls on a Sunday.
I love that Halloween decorating is so easy. Pick up a few pumpkins at your local grocer and you're in the spirit. Add a bag of candy corn to a glass jar and you're that much more festive! You can really go all out, but we try and keep things simple around here.
Hannah keeps talking to me about when she was a sheep (last years costume), so I decided to add a little Halloween throw-back to our decor. I had some photos printed from the last few Halloweens, got a teeny bit scrap-booky and ta-da, we have a few more decorations. It's fun to remember our happy memories and have something to talk about around the dinner table.
So mamas, what are you doing to get in the Halloween spirit?
