The spookiest time of the year is coming up! Who is as excited as I am? October and Halloween time are my second favorite times of the year, right behind December and Christmas.

Halloween is just SO much fun. Not only do we get to dress up in silly costumes and ask for free candy, we get to decorate the house, and throw awesome parties. I'm saying "we" because even though I'm no longer a kid, I still dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating. Of course, I have kids to take with me but still, I have just as much fun as they do.
