Well, has the thought hit you yet, Is it time to get that costume? I know, I know, you still have time. I have other things to do. The stores will have plenty of costumes. I have heard them all before. And yet why is it we still like to run around at the last minute looking for those costumes.
Well, I will not be with you this year. I have gone to the store and have purchased that treasured costume. I do not have to fight the crowds trying to make sure I get that last costume before they run out. And lo and behold there was no one in the store today, imagine that. An empty store. I feel so proud of myself. And the look of joy on my childs face was priceless.
And here is a thought for those of you not sure as to what you will get. I am sure you have gotten some catalogs from the stores or in the mail which will give you all kinds of examples and ideas. Let the kids go through them and make it a family affair. There will be some give and take but I am sure you will all come to a reasonable decision that you can all agree on. Is it time to get that costume? Well that is a decision you still have time to make. Save yourself some pain and suffering by getting out there now. It's not to late nor to early.

What Will Your Holloween Costume Be?
Okay, is it now time to be thinking about a Holloween Costume? For most of us adults we have been concerned about the kids, if you have them, but now it is our time. What will we be wearing for the night out.
Doesn't it seem that we always procrastinate not knowing what we want to go out dressed as. It always seems like we see lots of Elvira's and Count Dracula's along with a few other rather weird characters running around for the night. And what will be the latest craze that will dominate the scene. You know, I hear there is another Jason movie, is that number 200??
Now what would be a good Holloween Costume? We want something that will be original, that will stand out and make people take notice and remember the costume for the night. That will take a little thought and preparation. But hey guess what, you still have over a month and a half before you have to decide. But be on notice it is time to start thinking about it. The clock is ticking. Make it something they will talk about for the next week after Holloween. Let me know what you come up with.

Holloween 2007
Before we know it,it will be Holloween 2007. It is amazing how fast that day seems to sneak up on us. And no matter how hard we try we are never quite prepared. Whether it is getting a costume for the kids or trying to put one together for ourselves, we never seem to have enough time.
According to PRNewswire-USNewswire, the first official citywide celebration of Holloween occurred in Anoka, Minn., in 1921. Through the years the celebration has changed for young and old. Many customs and rituals have changed and everyone is more lighthearted about the times. Youngsters are seen wearing scary mask for parties or when out "Trick or Treating."
The number of tricksters was estimated to be about 36 million for 2006. And that was down about 45,000 from 2005. This was for children age 5-13. Kids younger and older than that group were not included. Needless to say there are a lot of youngsters out there looking for treats. And they will be ready for Holloween 2007, are you?
Sales of costumes and candy take a significant jump during this time. I can almost see all the merchants and dentist smiling as they go to bed at night. A glorious time this Holloween 2007. Let us prepare one and all as the bewitching hour approaches. It is that season and we must all prepare. And as a last thought as we get ready for Holloween 2007, is all that candy that the stores are putting out now really new or just left over from last year? Just a thought.

Holloween Costume
Yes parents, it is time to choose a Holloween costume for the kids. Ah, such a glorious occasion. The thought of going shopping for that first costume or even a new one can be disheartening. Mainly because we never seem to get it right in their eyes.
Now that is not true for the newborns or even the first couple of years. Those are pretty cute times because we get to choose those for our kids. It is when they start talking with their friends or at child care where they discover they are individuals with their own personalities that the problems occur.
How many of you can think back and remember that exact time when you went shoping for that Holloween costume and realized that life as we know it had changed? When we discovered that our cute child or children had maybe seen one to many cartoons or cartoon characters and wanted to become that character. No more cute bunnies, piglets, Snow White or yes even Barney. They had gone over to the dark side.
Our one saving grace is that this only happens once a year like those other future holidays. It will be rough but we can handle these situations. Now here is a thought, why wait until the last minute to accomplish this pleasant chore. Let's go out there right now and get that Holloween costume. Put those worries behind you and you could be one of those few parents who get to sit back and watch the rest of us as we struggle with trying to find the right holloween costume. It will be something we can agree on together with our kids and even better something they still have in stock in the stores so we do not get caught with the leftovers. Happy hunting.
