HALLOWEEN FUN!

Wha hahaha BOO!

Hi, welcome back to a new blog! I am so excited to do this fun Halloween blog. I thought it would be fun to just have a just have a fun Halloween blog. It seems like Halloween this year is extra fun!

With covid here, children everywhere were waiting to hear what they could do this year! That go light went on Halloween and everyone got more excited for it!

It is almost like we forgot how much we loved the holiday until it was almost not “allowed.” It is like the saying “you don’t know what you got till its gone.”

Everything was almost got more exciting this year when children were informed, they could still go out and enjoy the traditional fun.

This year was a crazy year, 2020 sure has had the last say more then once do far. I had that this 2020 year all holidays are going to be great! With how wonky it has been, while I’m still waiting for a little more 2020 to still come, I have my guard up!

There is so much that is happening in the world, with more of the year still to come. I wanted to embrace the holiday and share how we are doing Halloween! What is funny, is not much has changed for Halloween, I put up our decorations, with hopefully a couple more things to come!

Every year I like to get something new, it is never big, and usually from a dollar tree…. Cause umm yes please who doesn’t love a good dollar store run! With the kids being needing to be kids, they needed to have a great Halloween as so much has changed but not a lot at the same time….. Does that make sense to you lol!

I have 4 kids, they are ages of 11,9,3 and 1 ½ what fun ages for the holiday. The 2 older kids are at home year from schooling. They are doing the remote learning, so I felt that they deserved a good Halloween. They can have the fun, go see their friends, get some candy and enjoy knowing that not EVERYTHING has changed and not forever!

The other thing is too, I have not changed what we do, or really even how we do it, but the look on their face when we were decorating for Halloween and filtering through the costumes, was a great moment as the mom! I tend to forget the excitement of the fun for the holidays.

So lets go and take a look at my house for Halloween, I have a fun cookie recipe that I do every year to have on our table, well maybe the counter so ALL the kids won’t just “help” themselves all day!

Do you go all out for Halloween?

What are some special things that you do?

There is something about adding decorations up that just adds some fun to the house! I usually have the same decotations I am definitely one that will reuse my stuff until I literally can’t. Every year to just add a couple new decorations is a nice way to add but not to hurt the wallet or to get overwhelmed either.

This year I added a couple new things, they are a nice extra touch! I do have plans on trying to another thing that is a must in this house, more so I think this year as we won’t be sending the super fun Halloween classroom treats!

That was always so much fun yes, I am the mom that would send big big fun treats!

This year I will make sure I have some cookies set out! This is something that I always had done, but this year with everything happening, kids are home from school, everyone is home!

They are the yummiest and easiest spritz cookie’s! With some Halloween cookie cutter, they are perfect for in a house where everyone loves cookies. I will have the recipe down below with the house fun!

Do you have a certain treat that you have around for Halloween!

I thought it would be a fun blog to take you around the house and see what I did this year for some added Halloween fun! If you jive the Halloween house tour and cookie recipe fun make sure you give this blog a thumbs up, so I know to make some more blogs like this!

With the holiday season coming up there is going to be so much fun here on Classy Classics By Kandis blog!
