It just makes it hard for the kids: is today Halloween? When is Halloween? Today? Is it soon? When is Halloween?

There are several people in my neighborhood who have Halloween decorations up. I think it's awesome, and like seeing it. We'll have ours up at the end of this week. DH friend had his Halloween decorations up in August, his wife loves Halloween. We put our Christmas decorations up early in November, prior to Thanksgiving.

The Halloween decor at CVS freaked me out this morning. Seriously, why would you put 2 life size witches at the entrance and scare people when October is 2 weeks away.

The older kids start designing their costumes in September so we have time to make them, and the little ones start planning their costumes and making any little crafts they want to display. Then on 9/30 and 10/31, we have a decorating party (just our family with snack food and spooky music) and we do a big fall cleaning and decorating. It’s the best way to get the kids excited about cleaning. You can’t decorate a messy room, so let’s wash those baseboards and vacuum the heck out of this place!

Then we take down the Halloween specific decor the first week of November, and start planning any Christmas decorations we need to make or buy. The full transition happens Thanksgiving weekend. We have a similar process for winter decorating except switching from TNBC to Frosty and Rudolph.


And you put it all on Facebook, right?

I will say I bought some cabbages and a mum last weekend when it was cooler and they look pretty sad in this heatwave.


My mums are happy, why are you so bad at mum care? It’s probably that you are low class.


Mums are trashy.


+1. Mums, the Carnations of the Fall.
