Halloween
Happy Halloween!
October 31, 2008
The day is finally here. Hopefully the costume holds through the festivities, the sugar highs aren't so bad, and everyone avoids the tainted candy from China. We'll be off on our first family overnight adventure (as in staying with family, not traveling as a family). I've completed M's bee costume by getting myself a bee keepers hat from the Army surplus store downtown. It has been Read more...
Are we tired of Halloween yet?
October 28, 2008
If you are like a lot of people, then you have most likely already had one trick or treating event, or one Halloween party that you've attended. Home made costumes have been tweaked, store bought ones have hopefully survived (mine always tended to be so fragile) to be ready for the big event on Friday. Have you negotiated the candy situation yet, or are you hoping you can steal all of it Read more...
More Than Just The Halloween Capital of the World
October 21, 2008
Did you know you live just down/up the road from the Halloween capital of the world? Have you been living in a hole? In 1920 Anoka created a peaceful Halloween celebration to distract the youth from the traditional Halloween pranks. It has going on every since (with a slight break for World War II).

Halloween is coming...
October 07, 2008
...What are you going to be? Or rather, what is your favorite little goblin going to be? Other than the "No!" monster. Here are some local ideas for you to try out, and some other fun ones. Pirates, Knights, Princesses, Wizards & Dragons: Pretend play favorites are also great for costumes. Wonderment has a great pirate, knight section that can go either way for gender. They Read more...
The Tale of the Green Dress
October 06, 2008
At M's daycare they do a lot of dress up. M loves it all, especially the green dress. Who knows how or why, but she loves that thing. They have an excellent collection there, and I'm starting to build her collection here at home using some things I've learned from them. Post Halloween sales - They have a number of the head and body costumes that I've seen in catalogs and at Target. Read more...
