Today is Friday. Today is Halloween. I’m lightening the mood of my blog.

Although you’ll see no badass costume out of me this year (last year’s Vanilla Ice), you will see my efforts towards making Halloween a memorable experience for all the kiddos in my neighborhood.

IMO Halloween is all about the experience, and mostly, all about the CANDY!

I can remember sharing reports and rumors of the best candy houses in our neighborhood as a child, and as an adult I am hoping to have the house that is a “must hit” on the candy list. With over $100 in candy purchased and given out each year (to an average of 100-120 kids–yes I count), I’d like to think my candy per kid ratio is among the highest in the area.

Anyway, here are some pictures taken last night of what we’ll be offering at my house tonight:

House decorations

Our ’scary’ jackolanterns

Our civic duty jackolanterns

The loot. The big bars are for the best older kid costumes.

Extras for the super small tykes. Glow sticks, bubbles, and fruit snacks.
