I Want To Be A Witch

I was shopping the other day in the dollar store, and couldn't believe that they already have their Christmas decorations out. It's only August! They totally skipped Halloween and Thanksgiving. I'm hoping they will put some Halloween stuff out, because it is almost time for Ryan's Halloween birthday bash.

His birthday is November 6, and two years ago I did his party a little early, and had all the kids dress up. It was awesome! So many kids showed up, and I had tons of games planned. I think their favorite was the "in the dark scavenger hunt". This was when we lived in the house and had an acre yard. Last year we also had a Halloween themed party for him, but we were in the apartment, so there wasn't a lot of room. IT also rained that night, so the kids were stuck inside. I had so many new games planned, and was pretty disappointed that we couldn't play them. I do make some cute Halloween themed food, like monster toes (little sausages wrapped in flour tortillas, with BBQ sauce on the end, looking like bloody toenails) and deviled eggs that look like eyeballs. I really need to start looking for new recipes for this year's party.

The past two years, I have wanted to dress up like the kids, but have ended up just slapping on a pair of ears, and wearing black. This year, I want to get a real costume, but it is so hard to find one in the stores that fits right. I decided to look for Halloween costumes online, and found this AWESOME witch costume. And you know what the best part it? It comes in plus sizes! I am so excited! I really hope I can save the money to get this before the party, because come on, what costume better suits my personality than this?

You should check them out, too. If you find something you love, you can get free shipping on orders over $50 by using the code "pppfree". I think I need to talk to the kids and see what they want to be this year, and order all the costumes at the same time, so I can get the free shipping. I just love saving money!

So tell me, have you thought about what YOU want to be for Halloween this year?
