Who knew Halloween was such a big deal. It all started at the gym where Eliza realized there were cobwebs and pumpkins everywhere. She started asking from the beginning of the month if it was time for Halloween. I decided to celebrate in stages. First we did caramel apples with some friends. The kids had a great time and I didn't mind the leftover caramel at all!
Later that week we carved a pumpkin. Eliza did not enjoy scooping the goop out of the middle but after a while she got into it and she and her dad did a great job!
Eliza was also a huge help in making our one and only Halloween decoration...SPIDERS!
Now we have fat spiders haning from our fan and light and wherever else we could hang them. She was in charge of putting the beans in the bellies of the spiders.
I think we are ready for Halloween. Now we get to dress up tomorrow night and walk around the church parking lot at the trunk-or-treat. Eliza can't wait! It's so much fun to have a 4 year old!!!

FUN! A month long celebration is just right! The excitement has to build up for the BIG night.
What are you going to do for Thanksgiving...and Christmas? You better start planning!
How come I didn't get any of the carmel? Sure just keeping it all to yourself.
Scary looking spiders.
See ya tomorrow night.
Those spiders are so cute, and that's something since I think spiders are the scariest thing ever. And the caramel apples look so yummy!
I agree with Eliza; I think you should let us all in on your secret to celebrating all month long in stages.
