Halloween Goals

When it comes to Halloween, this time of year gives me the warm and fuzzies. I think its because when I was a kid, my dad was the only person on our street who went all out for Halloween. He had a few Halloween blow molds, and lights he would string up, and I always loved it and thought it was so cool how our house was the Halloween house.

Now that I have my own home, I want to do the same thing! Although Halloween is bigger now than ever before, I want to be the house on the block with the best decorations, and the best candy.  I'm not there yet decoration-wise (some people are so incredibly creative and have much more money to spend on 12-foot skeletons than I do) but I'm working on it! In the meantime, while I'm slowly adding more decorations to my arsenal, I know one thing I CAN do, is make sure I have the best candy on the block!
