I went to Salem on Halloween a few years ago, what a blast! Have fun!

I love Halloween, love the whole spooky season.
My daughter has been working on her costume since last year She is going as Sallie from Nightmare before Christmas. She made a prototype doll over the summer and is about half way through making her dress. We just can't figure out how to get her crazy curly hair straight for the costume.

We usually have a little party with our homeschool group of teens. They dress up and do just enough trick or treating to still feel like kids and then spend a couple of hours trading and just playing. I think this year we're having a campfire too for some outdoor spooky storytelling when it gets late. They all also love ice skating so we talked about seeing if we could find an open rink for them all to go in their costumes and skate for a while.

Since the kids are older now, we send them out on their own and the parents hunker down with wine while they are out there. Helps us be extra excited when they want to show us everything they came home with.
