Please don't have a stroke just yet anybody; I know it's a wee bit early to be thinking about my favorite time of year already, but just cut me some slack for a minute. I'm not exactly having the best night of my life. I am sitting here, right this very second, trying not to melt down and become the byproduct (aka poop) of some severe challenges that my family and I are facing right now. In order avoid being transformed into Bantha Fodder, I believe that if I force myself to think of something that makes me happy and excited about life besides my kids and food (which I obviously love dearly), I might actually put a smile on my face, which would be so welcome right now. After about 0.2758 seconds of deliberation, I determined that the "thing," has to be.....(drum roll please)......HALLOWEEN!!!!! Of course!!!!! 
For all who know me (and for all the blog stalkers who don't), you are all fully aware of how much I adore Halloween. My kids and I just love to decorate the whole house, inside and out. The kids just go crazy over all the decorations; it really puts them in the mood to go trick-or-treating when the magical day finally arrives! I just love my spooky mantle, especially at night when all the lights are off in the house!!
OH, how I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Creepy Cloth!!
I really hope that my kids will always remember what a fun time of year Halloween is in our family and hope they will cherish all the memories we create and the time we spend together every year to make it fun!!

I GUARANTEE that there is no other porch like this in the neighborhood; I'm lucky if my neighbors even put out a pumpkin or two. The other side of my porch contains a Halloween tree and a graveyard, but I couldn't get the picture to post for some reason. My porch lights up like a nuclear bomb on my street. You can't miss it!
There!! I've succeeded. That made me smile...a lot! There's nothing quite like Halloween...in April or October! By the way Sandie and Mom, you guys have the best birthdays in the whole world!!
