21 Halloween Candy Alternative Ideas

Halloween is a fun time for kids. As a child, I remember how much I love trick or treating, especially when I would get home and empty out my bag to see all variety of candy I received. But what got me really excited, where the Halloween treat bags I would open that did not have candy in them, but some sort of toy or other item that was not candy.

Aloha Friday - October 2, 2009

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is:

What is your child's favorite book?

My children have 2 books that they love, The Monster at the End of This Book
& 10 Little Ladybugs.

How Often Do You Do Kid Crafts With Your Children?

I've been slacking, but am trying to get back into doing some cute crafts with my children.
They love it and have lots of fun!
