There’s No Such Thing As “Over-Doing” It When Decorating For Halloween!

Yard Decorations

Wow, can you believe Halloween is only two days away?  Everything is ready at our house; costumes are here, candy is bought (lots I might add because you can never have enough candy), Halloween music is selected and the house decorating is complete – well almost!

To me,  Halloween decorations are such an important part of the holiday.  Every time I go somewhere I end up picking up little odds and ends to add to my collection that I already have.  Pumpkins are my favorite!  Every year we go to the pumpkin patch so the kids can pick out their pumpkins to carve.  This year they each picked out two pumpkins, one to carve into a jack-o-lantern and the other to paint. 

Our yard is quickly turned into a haunted cemetery complete with tombstones, skeletons, fog and haunted music.  It’s fun to watch all the kids in the neighborhood pause at the end of the driveway deciding if they should be real cool and walk to the porch or be on the safe side and run!

You can’t over-do it when it comes to decorating for Halloween.  Whatever you want to put in your yard (or house for that matter), go ahead and do it.  You can go with a theme or just throw everything together and decorate to your hearts desire. 

This year, have fun with decorating!  Halloween is supposed to be fun, crazy and exciting.  Why shouldn’t your decorations be the same? 

HAPPY HAUNTING!

Don’t Forget Your Pet!

Pet Costumes

Pet Costumes

In all the Halloween rush to get your kids costumes, decorate your house, carve pumpkins and buy candy, did you remember to get a costume for your pet?  They are a member of your family, aren’t they?  At least the two dogs in my house are.  I don’t even think they realize they’re dogs at all! 

I think it’s cute when you put a Halloween costume on your dog.  I’m sure they may have a different opinion on the matter, but I think it’s adorable.  Pet costumes have become increasingly popular over the years.  If your family is doing a group costume, you can even include little Fido in with the theme you choose. 

Check out the Top 10 Pet Costumes for 2009, they’re too cute to pass up!  Your pet will be the talk of the town (or at least the dog park) for months to come!

Sexy Superheroes!

Superhero Costumes

Superhero Costumes

We’ve all grown up with the classic male superheroes of Batman, Superman and Spiderman.   It seems the majority of superheroes are men for some reason (maybe it’s the tights).  Anyway, women make amazing superheroes and I have to admit we look way better in our costumes!

Women superheroes have been around forever.  They just seem to fall between the cracks and not get noticed.  Well, not anymore with a sexy superhero costume from HalloweenExpress.com!  These costumes scream superhero sexy!  Tight spandex and short skirts will certainly get you noticed this Halloween!

The heck with Batman, bring on a Secret Wishes Batgirl costume and Sexy Robin.  Oh, and don’t forget Wonder Women and Super Girl; now there’s a couple of costumes you won’t soon forget!

I think it would be so much fun to get a group of your girlfriends together and all of you go as a sexy superhero.  Everyone can be a different character but all within the same theme.  Or, go with your significant other and have them be the male counterpart of your female superhero!

Trick-or-Treat Bag – Kids Don’t Leave Home Without It!

Ok, we all know how important kids costumes are at Halloween, but did you know that a little accessory known as the “trick-or-treat bag” is probably just as, if not more important to the kids?  The main objective for all children is to get as much candy as possible during those fun and exciting trick-or-treat hours.  That’s what it’s all about right? 

The amount of candy each child gets while out trick-or-treating is the determining factor in whether they had a great Halloween or a good Halloween.  Last year my son had to run back home to dump some of his candy to make room for more.  Now to him that was a great Halloween!

Your child’s trick-or-treat bag is really a pretty important accessory on Halloween night.  This is one accessory that your child will never leave home without!  When I was young, everyone used the same type of bag, the good old plastic bag with handles.  Today though, you have a lot more choices for your child when it comes to treat bags. 

This year I decided to get my girls personalized trick-or-treat bags and they love them!  They’re simply adorable and they can use them again and again every Halloween.  It helps to have bags with their names on it so that there’s no mistaking whose candy is whose.  My son Caden explained to me that he was way too old to carry anything with his name on it and that he was just fine using an old pillowcase like all his friends.  No complaints from me, that was simple.

Today, you’ll find trick-or-treat bags come in all shapes and sizes and made out of different materials; plastic, vinyl, cotton and felt.   They have great Halloween designs for both boys and girls.  Remember, candy is the life-line of every little boy and girl on Halloween night, so get them a trick-or-treat bag that they can be proud of!
