Is It Too Early...

to put up Halloween decorations? I don't really care...I already have them up even though my husband thinks I'm crazy.

My sister and I both love Halloween - and when I say I love, I mean it makes us all giddy inside, like we've been eating chocolate for three days straight. We love any kind of Halloween decoration, Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, and all of the fun activities surrounding the big day. I don't know where this comes from - maybe we just had so much fun as kids at Halloween. Living in the country, you couldn't really do trick-or-treating door-to-door, but my mom would always pile us in the car and take us to people's houses to fill up our plastic candy bags with the reflector stickers. I remember my grandmother would always have a special treat for us and we'd always go to the Halloween carnival at my mom's school.

Soooooo...I've got to pass these traditions on to the little guy, right? To kick off this Halloween season, I hit up Target last weekend with my little man. We had a blast and spent about two hours in the Halloween section trying on costumes and playing with the noisy decorations.

Here's my guy, as Darth Vader (it looks cute with the Mickey Mouse T-shirt, right?). He puts it on and he says, right on cue, "Luke...I am your faaaaather...."



Then there was this little dancing ghost. Dancing ghost, yeah, we've seen that before, but this ghost dances to "The Way I Are" by Timbaland. That was hilarious.




Then, the fun little stuff I picked up for the house. I mean, how cute are those candy corn cups? And I figure I can use the monster cereal bowls all year long. I thought this stuff was cute, but not scary - and they have tons more that go with this line to throw a fun Halloween party!
