It's Halloween, Halloween, Trick or Treat

I'm so excited for Halloween this year. I usually am every year but this year I had my own house that I get to decorate. I think that even Troy is excited about it. We got a fog machine and a strobe light. I have a spider web with a large, not giant like I was hoping but a good size, spider. We wanted to do a graveyard in the front yard but I could not believe how much some of those gravestones are. Maybe we'll hit the after Halloween sales and stock up for next year. ;)

Anyway, one way that I have decided to celebrate this year is by doing a week of Halloween with the girls. We started out by carving pumpkins on Sunday. Monday night we watched The Worst Witch, an old favorite of mine, and had popcorn and hot chocolate. Tuesday we had a Halloween craft, played Halloween bingo, and watched Hocus Pocus, a new favorite. We had to skip Wednesday because they go with their dad. Tonight we have another fun activity planned but I can't say yet because it might spoil the surprise for some. :)
