Halloween!!!

I love Halloween. Cooler weather makes me feel frisky and there's so much to do around here! Our church has a GREAT pumpkin patch and Trunk-or-Treat. There's Boo at the Ft. Worth Zoo. There's Fright Fest at Six Flags.

In previous years, I've gotten excited about being crafty and making costumes and home-made decorations with the kids - only to run out of time and energy because I was working. This year, though, part of my new job description (the one I wrote out for myself) is to do more fun, creative holiday stuff!



I got started with it this weekend. I found this idea in Family Fun Magazine and I love the way it turned out.

Also, I hope it's not a weird superstitious thing to see the trick-or-treater before Halloween, but I can't help but post these pictures because if I know my kid, he won't be this animated and cooperative once the actual holiday gets here.



Note***You can chart Chad's hobbies by observing the Halloween costumes of my toddler. For instance, you can tell that last year (see below), Chad was still into motocross. This year, he is more into fishing.
