The key to doing an activity every day for a summer or a month?
Keep it simple. Plan it out. I plan the entire month in advance. I try not to have too many activities I have to buy stuff for; those I do, I make a list and buy the stuff in September so we are all ready.
Here's to a spooky month of fun with my little goblins!

Hooray for that wonderful oak tree out in front!!! It will look soooo scary, full of ghosts!!! And it will be MUCH easier to un-decorate than that ol' mesquite tree in our front yard that I thought should be filled with bats made from plastic trash bags...ugh!
Sounds like fun! And you probably have your house decorated already, too! I'm way behind...
We started our countdown as well. Wahoo!!
