Think It Thursday: Why I Love Halloween


In case you haven't figured it out yet, I love Halloween! It is by far my absolute favorite time of year. 

Here's why...

•Pumpkins - Not only can you eat anything & everything pumpkin flavored, but you can carve them, paint them & glitter them. 

•Scary movies - OK, so I may not be able to watch them as much as I want, but I still do get a few good ones in every year. Tonight after the kids go to bed, The Shining! 

•Decorations - There's just something about witches, goblins & vampires that makes me go all giddy. 

•Festive food - I'm talking meatloaf hands, brain cupcakes, spaghetti intestines & worms! 

•Trick or Treat - Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat! I absolutely love taking my kids through the neighborhood to go trick or treating. And I may volunteer to do it for my youngest when she gets too tired to do it herself. 

•Dressing Up - OK, so I may not dress up anymore, but I love getting my kids all ready. Not to mention checking out everyone else's costumes. 

What do you love about Halloween?
