Halloween

Sometimes when you live on an island, that doesn't change climate with seasons, it's hard to feel like you are in 'holiday' mode. There is no fall clothing, layers and boots here. Sad day. That is why I make a point to decorate for every holiday possible. Even SPRING!

I broke out the Halloween decorations last week and now our house is sufficiently spook-i-fied (I even spooked my blog header). Oahu even gave us some gloomy, rainy, windy weekend weather, too! We added a beach bonfire in our backyard, s'mores galore, and a scary movie---and the perfect October feel has been achieved!

You did a great job decorating. The only thing I have done is buy two "huge" bags of candy. You know how this neighborhood is with treat or treaters.. . . zillions. I love seeing all the little kids in costumes. Twick or tweet! Some of them are not old enough to talk but dressed so cute. Hugs.

Love the decorations!

I know what you mean about seasons. Fall is my favorite season, but I definitely don't get to experience it to the fullest in Southern California. But I can't stay away from fall fashion!
