It's Halloween Wednesday!

Today is the first Halloween Wednesday. The theme for the day is Witches and Wizards. My father in law has made all the grand kids wands and I made labels to go with them. I will post a picture in this blog of one of them. I am so excited. They are going to love them. My mother in law is making small bread bowls that we are going to use as cauldrons and serve soup in them(magic brew). We are also all bring bottles of different kinds of drinks that we plan to put in jars so the kids can mix and drink their own potions. There will be games, stories, crafts, ect. It should be so much fun!

I am however disappointed that I haven't had time to get my Halloween decorations out. Having a two month old has really slowed me down. It also hasn't helped that I've been sick with a stomach bug and then our refrigerator broke and we have been working on getting a new one all week. I am feeling better, we did get a new refrigerator, but I still have a beautiful two month old girl keeping me from really busting out my Halloween grove. The good news is my husband is taking the next two days off work for a little R&R so I should have some time to get things set up.

Friday Funny!

Have I mentioned I love Halloween! Have a great weekend!

Halloweeen!!!!

If you couldn't tell by the title of this blog title I love Halloween. It is by far my favorite holiday. I love ghost stories, scary movies, and of course candy. I love the weather in October. My first date with my husband was to a haunted house and several years later he proposed the day before Halloween. I love this holiday. I love decorating for Halloween and I love Halloween Wednesday.

What is Halloween Wednesday? Every Wednesday in October we gather at my mother in law's house with our children to do something fun for Halloween. Usually we play games, do a craft, and make and eat Halloween themed food. It's incredibly fun to come up with the ideas and watch the kids get involved in the mayhem.

This year we have decided to do a monster theme every Wednesday. My family picked vampires so now I am scanning the Internet for ideas. If any of you have any good ideas I can use I would love to hear them. Any vampire ideas are welcome.
