My mom's favorite holiday growing up was Halloween, and she made it so much fun for me and my sisters. BUT to me the best part of Halloween was always just getting to dress up and be someone else for a night, which is what I always let the kids do!
I LOVE to scare people! Seriously, it's my favorite! Bryce is just like me and maybe too much like me... I love to scare people but NOT to get scared!
I always want to protect my kids from truly terrifying stuff, and that includes the SCARY part of Halloween. Bryce is getting older, and with his love for scaring people, I caved and finally let him get a creepy scary costume. My ONE rule to him was "Do not scare me with it." lol
A storm came through these parts recently and cooled the weather down to be BEAUTIFUL! It is starting to feel like Fall time already and it is the BEST time of the year... holiday time, perfect weather, and most people including myself are just all around happier. I can't wait!
Here in Okinawa I have learned the hard way that whenever holiday stuff is being sold, no matter how crazy early, you need to get it now because the whole island will be completely gone of it weeks before the holiday. When you realize all the holiday stuff is gone on the island, you'd think... well I will just order it then.... WRONG... it takes a minimum of 10 days shipping Priority to get here if you are lucky! So basically we had to get costumes while we could... and yes it is September still. lol
