MMmm, popcorn bar! fantastic!
so many wonderful ideas for Fall and Halloween, love all the crafts and I am sure the little ones are going to also 🙂 thanks for sharing with us @tisonlyme143
My family had never celebrated Halloween, so I’ve never really been into it. But my husbands family does. So as a compromise, we don’t decorate for Halloween, but the kids get to go trick or treating with his family, while I stay home and have the evening to myself. Might try out those pumpkin spice lattes this year. Thank you for the great ideas!
