Get Organized for Halloween, 10 Spooktacular Tips

Ghosts, witches, goblins and black cats . . . yes, it's Halloween once again. Here are 10 tips to ensure this holiday is a fun one for your and your family.

1. Make a List

Make a checklist of everything you'd like to do for Halloween--such as making/getting costumes, having a party, attending a festival, carving a pumpkin, getting some scary books or videos at the library and taking the kids trick-or-treating, safety precautions, and baking pumpkin pie.

2. Decorate for the Season

It's time to pull out your tried-and-true Halloween decorations from year's past. If they're not in one organized place this year, be sure you put them all in one organized place for next year when you're done with them.

3. Find the Festivities

Using the Web and your local newspapers, find out what Halloween festivities are happening in your area. Schedule some outings for your family and enjoy the season. Apple picking, pumpkin picking and hay rides are popular this time of the year.

4. Search Your TV Listings

Search through your TV listing and make a schedule of all Halloween programs and cartoons you wish to watch. If the family can't be together when a particular program is airing, video tape it and watch it together later on.

5. Buy Treats Ahead of Time

Pick up Halloween treats at the supermarket now so you're ready for trick-or-treaters.

6. Organize Treats into Treat Bags

Spend time before Hallowing, placing an assortment of treats into each treat bag (or plastic baggie.) Every trick-or-treater will then get an equal amount of treats.

7. Organize a Halloween Party

If you plan to have a Halloween party at your house, plan for the party ahead of time. Make a list of everything you plan to do, and everyone you wish to invite. Be sure to get the invitations out early. Begin preparing meals and baking before October 31st.

8. Get Ready for Parties You're Attending

If you already have plans to go to a Halloween party elsewhere, determine what you'll need to bring to the party. Will you need to bring food? Find out what dish you'll be bringing, and determine if it can be prepared ahead of time. Need a costume? Begin making one now, or be sure to hit the costume shops early, while you still have time.

9. Send Out Halloween Greetings

Halloween is a great time of year to keep in touch with family and friends. Send Halloween greetings in the mail, or save money and send e-mail greetings.

10. Enjoy the Season

Go outdoors and enjoy the fall foliage. Take a walk in the brisk air. Enjoy your neighbors' Halloween decorations around town. Take some photos for your memory book. After all, this holiday doesn't linger after October 31st--you'll be heading right into the holiday season!

Repro Vintage Halloween Treats I Found Today

Bought at Pat Catans when I was at home visiting mom.
Witch I got today that son broke in 10 minutes.  Can you see the breaks?  Need some black glitter. Bought at TJ Maxx comes in black and purple.
This was all bought at tueday Morning.  3 shakers, some glitter halloween ornies owl, witch, cat and pumpkin.  2 bobble heads cat and pumpkin, 2 boxes made to look like old books,  and then for Christmas 2 bog white bottle brush trees.
So I went out to TJMaxx and Tuesday Morning and found these wonderful repro Halloween items.  I wanted to show you them all.  Now story today is do not let them sit out with small boys around.  I flipped today!  Totally flipped and went ballistic.  My younger son comes into my office where I have these items on the floor getting ready to put away, he I don't know trips, gets pushed by his brother or something and falls on the black witch breaking the bottom half of her off!  I only had it like 10 minutes before it got broke.  Well I flipped.  Sooo hubby hot glued it and I painted over the break points now I have to find black glitter to cover it up.  I was so mad.  My son just asked me about 5 minutes ago if I forgave him, which I do but i am still mad.  I am having a Malcolm in the Middle Mom moment >:(

ButterBeer Light

Butterbeer Light

I improved on the well-loved Traditional Hogsmeade-Style Butterbeer recipe -
now all the alcohol and calories have been charmed away! :)

Makes 2 quarts.

1 cup sugar-free butterscotch or English Toffee flavoring syrup (Torani's or similar)
7 cups diet cream soda (almost one 2 liter bottle)

Carefully mix just before serving, adding the butterscotch flavoring to the soda then stirring gently to mix well, or the fizz will dissipate too soon. To keep butterbeer on hand, pour 1 cup cream soda out of the 2-liter bottle, quickly add 1 cup butterscotch flavoring, and recap the bottle. Completely sugar-free and alcohol-free!
