Halloween is just around the corner and the kids are excited! Not sure if I'll be making Halloween treats this year...since Luis will be packed off to a 4-day kids camp for Halloween week-end...kind of a bittersweet moment when my 10-year old goes to camp for the 1st time.
Halloween isn't as much a tradition over here as it is in the US, although I have been trick or treating since I was a little girl, too (and that's a loooong time ago...). My husband, who grew up in the US, was stupefied when he saw how Halloween is done here. Because of the heat, the kids can barely walk a block in their hot costumes, so they usually pile into a car and get off only at the houses that are giving candy away...causing major traffic jams in the subdivision!
Here are my projects using Snobby Walrus' October Kit. Our DT coordinator, Tracy is on emergency leave, so the kit is not yet up on the site, but will be as soon as they iron things out while she's away.
