Freaky Friday The Final Edition

Happy Halloween!

Today should be a fun day for us. My son is 4 and has a fun day planned at preschool. Parents are invited to stay for the first 30 minutes and see all the kids in their costumes and watch them sing some songs. I have been getting little previews of the Halloween songs at home and I am sure it will be cute when all of them get going together.

We will be trick or treating tonight as well as passing out candy at our house. Some of the grandparents are sure to come by to see our little guy in his costume. It will be a great day!

My final item to share for Freaky Friday is pictures of our pumpkins we carved this Monday evening. I was sick with a cold, so it was not as much fun as years past, but they all turned out great and we can't wait to light a few candles in them tonight.

I look forward to seeing everyone's Halloween pictures on their blogs soon!

Freaky Friday Part 2

Welcome back for the second edition of Freaky Friday. Today we are going to take a look at the items I have outside my house in honor of Halloween.

1. A decoration hanging on my front door. My son painted these wooden shapes last year and I strung them together with some Halloween ribbon.
2. Two nice big pumpkins for carving.
3. My scarecrow, isn't he jolly?
4. Mini hay bales with some fake mums, some mini scarecrows and a metal jack o lantern head that holds a candle.
5. This is a wire angel that sits on my porch year round. I change the flowers in her pot for each season. Of course she has a few pumpkins nearby as well, we hoard pumkins around here.
6. Almost impossible to see but this little stake has a scarecrow on it and says Harvest Time.
7. A giant spider web spanning the shrubs in our front yard.
8. A giant spider we made to go on the shrubs with the web.

Freaky Friday Part 1

There's only two more weeks until Halloween! It's coming up fast! I have yet to share all the freaky, spooky fun we have around here for Halloween. So, I thought today and the next two Fridays would be "Freaky Fridays". Today we will start with the inside of my house, mostly the playroom, and I will show you all the Halloween stuff we have out and about.

1. Spider egg sack with baby spiders, directions here.
2. My son's play table with his pumpkin placemate, tiny real pumpkin, and Halloween book.
3. Again in the playroom, my son's Halloween tree that he loves decorating each year, a pumpkin tray and a skull candle holder.
4. On the kitchen counter, a lil scarecrow next to my Kitchen Aid mixer.
5. Pumpkin buckets used to store toys on the playroom shelves.
6. A candy corn tray with my son's pirate pumpkin, of course in his playroom.
7. A pumpkin and skull candle holder in the playroom next to the toads and the mantis.
8. My Bath & Body Works pumpkin soap pump at my kitchen sink.
9. Chairs in my son's playroom adorned with a spooky faced orange balloon and his little trick or treat bag.

Halloween is so much fun around here, my little guy really gets into it all, so I have to have things at his level that he is allowed to touch and enjoy. No fancy stuff here, at least not until he is older, at which point it will be all about adult Halloween items. Mwah ha ha ha!

Next Friday...meet me in the front yard for pumpkins and a spider you wouldn't want to find dangling over your bed at night.
