Halloween 2020
Family Zoom Party with games, siblings drawing names for Christmas and backyard (masked, socially-distanced) preschool trick-or-treating, all things considered it was a great Halloween.
Flannery declared it the best one yet.
New outdoor decorates
We have upped our game with the Halloween decorates this year.
I found some flamingos on Buy Nothing, skeleton spiders & skulls from the Dollar Tree and picked up spray paint from Target. Plus bought pumpkins anytime we were at Trader Joes.
Extra in love with our spooky and cozy house this year.
Halloween Countdown
I finished our Halloween Countdown Calendar (better late than never)! It’s a panel from Ruby Star Society by Sarah Watts.
Some of the things I stuffed ours with…
Candy (obviously)
Stickers by Pipsticks
Temporary tattoos (Dollar section at Target)
Mini bubbles
Calico Critters (I found this set last year)
And then I wrote out a few activities on fake leaves from the Dollar Store (pumpkin patch, rainbow leaf walk, carve pumpkins, spooky movie night, etc.)
Flannery is seriously so excited and I love a new tradition plus it makes me very happy to see hanging in the living room.
Halloween favorites to share with you!
Here’s a pretty fun and wide-ranging compilation of our most watched and loved Halloween themed movies, books, and television shows and specials, and where to find them. Our shared Halloween playlist follows, which I highly recommend driving, cooking, and kitchen dancing to all through October. Tag us in your Fall and Halloween dance videos and please share any of your own traditions with us on IG.
Happy Halloween!
