Halloween Countdown

How many of you here are doing the Halloween countdown? If you have older children in the house you probably don’t even have to do a countdown, they’ve already told you 100 times today. However, if this is your first Halloween you are probably trying to plan everything out.

Keep in mind that babies will probably not remember a single detail of this year. The only way they’ll remember is if you are recording or taking pictures, then they’ll look through the photo albums and listen to your stories about that day. So, your best bet is to keep it simple.

I can tell you the one year I thought I’d be super mom and make everyone a handmade costume the older two were the only ones that appreciated it. The youngest would have no clue how hard it was to make her little fairy costume and she hated it the entire time. Last year, we bought the simple store bought puppy suit for Little A and everyone loved it, he did too as long as it wasn’t on his head.

Expect a lot more Halloween type posts in the next two weeks. Don’t forget to drop in with your tips and tricks as well. I’d love to see some Halloween pics too. If you have any send them to eliza.ferree@b5media.com and I’ll post them with a link to your site.
