Christmas in July?! No. More like Halloween in July!

Let me make this clear:

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

Are we clear? Good.
Seriously though, it is my favorite holiday. I don't know why but I love it. The food, the candy, trick or treating, pranks, scary movies, scaring people, haunted houses, dressing up, October, pumpkin/apple picking, having fun with friends and family.Unfortunately, Halloween has changed so much since I was kid. I don't like the way they do it now.  Everything is timed, or a "Trunk of Treat" is held at church or you can tick or treat at the mall. What happened to walking down your block with your mom and dad, brother and sister, with pillowcases, and going door to door? I remember getting out of school around 3, coming straight home, got changed and dressed up, met up with my friends and we trick or treated  till 9, 10pm. Pillowcases full.

So this year, I think we are just going to stay home, make our own treats, buy our own candy, and have a little Halloween party at the house. 

The Halloween bug has bit me. The dollar store put out Halloween stuff early and I was compelled to buy some decorations for the house. Hey, it was only a $1. 

I am also in the process of making these bats out of EGG CARTONS. I had everything that was needed. I just needed some googly eyes. Once again, $1. 

Aren't these cute? 
I found it on Pinterest. Of course!
I can't wait to hang em up!
