The best things about Halloween?
1. Candy corn. I know it’s available all year long, but I only buy it during the month of October. I’m the only one in my house that likes it and so far, I’m on bag #3.
2. Multiple visits to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin.
3. After the sun goes down, Lucas has been demanding requesting that we drive around our neighborhood to see all the Halloween decorations; twinkle lights, pumpkins, spiders, ghosts and one amazing pirate ship are his favorites.
4. Carmel apples, cake pops and other yummy treats friends are braver than I to try to make.
5. Holiday arts and crafts.
6. Glow in the dark skeleton jammies.
7. Decorating pumpkins with pipe cleaners, stickers, glue and pomp pomps instead of knives.
8. Watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
9. Trick-or-treating and hoping for the good stuff.
10. Children dressed up as Super Man, princesses, Woody and sharks. Speaking of sharks, will you please check out the face on the shark below? I love having a child! Especially during the holidays.
This post was inspired by Stasha’s Monday Listicles, a linky right up my alley! This week’s topic: Ten Things Halloween.
I’m also linking up with Jessica (Four Plus an Angel) and Tracy’s (Sellabit Mum) Boo! in the Blogosphere Halloween Photo Link Up.

Halloween time is lots of fun!
We have those skeleton jammies too! My son loves them!
Now I’m craving a caramel apple.
Oh, they are so good.
All of Lucas’ jammies come from Old Navy! They’re the best.
That’s the cutes shark ever, I love his face, he’s really into it.
Oh yes, he is super committed!
Mmm, candy corn, Charlie Brown and candy apples. I’m SO done – I love, love, love your photo collage:)
Thanks so much, I had a lot of fun putting it together.
Isn’t Halloween time the best?!
I love these photos! He’s such a cutie pie! I love his little face in the shark costume :))) And your pumpkin is awesome! I’ll try decorating one with the girls instead or carving one, next year!
I’ve never tasted candy corn, but I trust your taste!
Happy Halloween Lucas & Tonya XOXO
Wait a minute! You’ve never tried candy corn? It’s a sugary piece of candy heaven. I MUST send you some right away!
Now that’s a creative pumpkin. I like that better than carving.
So much less mess!!
Okay, now I need a shark!
He really took to heart the “chomp chomp chomp!”.
Adorable shark and I can’t help but notice the sun and short sleeves in your pictures. We will be wearing snowsuits under our costumes. Ugh.
Yes, we are lucky to have a very mild Fall (and Winter).
Bundle up.
I am on bag three too. I truly love the shark.
Candy corn is just too dang good!!
And, I’m a BIG fan of sharks now too.
That candy corn tissue paper craft= eeep! I LOVE it. Also, look at that sweet (I mean FEROCIOUS) shark!
I blogged about the candy corn art project, if you’re interested: http://www.lettersforlucas.com/2011/10/shes-crafty/
It’s SUPER easy!
Amen to every one of your items on your list! My nearly 2 year old is in her skeleton pjs as I type.
Halloween rocks and isn’t Old Navy the best?!
He is the most adorable shark ever. I mean, ferocious. He’s ferocious.
I’ll take adorable.
Happy Halloween!
I love that you share through so many pictures…they are so cute…my son would have loved those jammies when he was little!
I take a lot of pictures. Too many my son would tell you.
Happy Halloween.

I can find candy corn in my super market all year long, but like I said I ONLY buy it during the Halloween season.
I could take or leave candy corn, but I could take a bite of that little boy. So cute! I bet he is super excited about tonight. Perfect age.
Thank you, he’s still a little too young to “get it”, but he enjoyed dressing up for the Halloween parade at pre-school today and all the treats!
his smile is so sweet it’s making my teeth ache. I swearI love you even if you do like candy corn….but this way you never ever have to share it with me.
I loved every single picture.
Thanks, Kir! Happy Halloween to you and yours.
Cute shark!! I’m hoping Blake will wear his dinosaur costume tonight. If not, I guess he’ll just be a screaming toddler because Mommy wants chocolate!
Thanks. I hope you got some sweets.
Oh my gosh, so fun, all of it! Love your crafts and that caramel apple looks SO good! Glad you all had a fun Halloween and YES! Awesome shark face!
He really got into character.
Hope you had a happy Halloween.
Great list. And great pictures. I love this time of year, too. My two faves are Halloween and Thanksgiving and it’s so fun that they’re back to back.
Hard to believe it’s already November, but yes, I love them too and then… it’s the BIG one.
I love the costumes! So much fun to see everyone all dressed up!
We had a very fun month! There is something about little children in costumes, isn’t there?
Oh how I love kids and pumpkin pictures! Great list!
Thanks very much. I hope you and yours had a happy Halloween.
Yes I agree with no. 1 – *the* best thing about Halloween, hands down, is the candy corn!
Candy corn is DA BOMB!!
Love your list and pictures!!!
Thanks! We had a very fun October.
I looooove the Charlie Brown special – and almost missed the whole thing this year because of a twitter party.
Boo!
Also, what is Lucas going to do when the Christmas lights go up? I have a feeling y’all better be ready to drive even more for those!
He’s already talking about Christmas decorations and is sure to lose his mind once our own tree goes up!
Great pictures in that collage! His face is priceless in that shark photo!! And only 3 bags? I’m surprised you haven’t eaten more! Lol
