Hello and Happy Monday!
What’s scarier than a Halloween on a Monday?! Yikes!
Today’s post is all about Halloween fun with these two graphics I found on Pinterest (c/o @acaracollective). I’ll share them on Insta today. Let me know your answers!
Halloween Favorites
- Candy: It’s hard for me to resist chocolate…especially a small Snickers or Butterfinger.
- Movie: We always try to watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. While it’s not a movie, it’s a favorite. On Fall Break, we watched The Addams Family which was fun.
- Costume: I’ve shared before that my favorite costumes the kids chose were when they were Batman and Robin. So cute.
- Activity: Our favorite fall activity is going to the pumpkin patch. For quite a few years, we’d go to Transylvania University here in Lex to see all the pumpkins lit up. Covid changed that, and then we haven’t been able to make it there the past couple of years.
- Character: I don’t know that a ghost is a “character,” but he’s cute!
- Tradition: I love our pumpkin carving tradition.
This or That:
- Trick or Treat: Definitely treats…no tricks!
- Not so spooky movies or scary movies: I guess I’m a scaredy cat…I prefer not so spooky movies.
- Apple cider or PSL: I used to love PSL, but now I prefer a lighter version. Apple cider is good, but I prefer it hot.
- Pumpkin patches or haunted houses: Pumpkin patches all the way!
- Buy a costume or make a costume: Buy a costume, for sure. Thank goodness for Amazon. I do remember my mom making a few of our costumes when I was a kid. Then again, Amazon didn’t exist!
- Craft or carve a pumpkin: We love to carve pumpkins.
- Trick or treat or pass out candy: Well, sadly, I’m back to the passing out candy phase. I do love seeing little kids in their costumes though. I just feel like walking around with my kids went by in a blink.
- Chic decor or spooky decor: I prefer chic (cozy) decor to spooky. My kids wish I’d make our outside more spooky, I’m sure.
- Candied apples or caramel apples: Caramel apples are so good…but too much work to eat. I love caramel apple suckers.
- 13 nights of Halloween marathon or your own movies marathon: Make your own movie marathon, for sure. I wish we had more time for movie watching.
- Early night or late night: Early night is my preference. Trick-or-treating is from 6-8 and on a school night…so hopefully we’ll all be in bed at a decent hour.
I guess since the kids are full on middle schoolers, our Halloweens definitely look different now {sad face}
I hope everyone has a great Halloween!

Ok I agreed with most of your answers and yes to hot cider all the way! We are actually packing some hot cider with caramel vodka in it for adult beverages this evening 🙂

We have most of the same answers!! Though we don’t pass out candy (since we live on a dead end road no one comes down) and my kids are past trick or treating.

I’m so glad I can still at least pass out candy.

I answered most the same as you- my one different thing was that I used to love coming up with costumes from what we had on hand. I rarely had to “make” anything, but we would just incorporate certain items into it, like the year Drew wanted to be a hobo. He just wore old, ratty clothing and we made his face look dirty with my foundation and some marks with eyeliner or mascara. I don’t know that we ever bought an actual costume…my sister may have bought some for them, but I don’t think we ever did. We also had tons of play clothes that they would use for Halloween. They were all pretty creative! Hot apple cider sounds so good…have you ever had a hot buttered rum? It made me think of that. I had one for the first time last year.

I’ve never had buttered rum, but I’ve heard of it. That’s a great idea to use what you have. We did that a few times for hayden when he wanted to be something with sports 🙂
