Preparing for Hallow E'en

I know this sounds creepy but I have started preparing for Halloween. (Don't even start with Christmas, okay).
I am making some little treat bags to give out to the kids who will come a-knocking on our door on October 31st. This will be our first Halloween in this house. I foresee there will be quite a lot of kids (and teenagers). We have often seen these kids around our little neighborhood and in the swimming pool. And our Russian neighbors have 5 young kids! I think it's gonna be adorable to watch what they will come up with.
And this year, my mom will be here to help me! I know she will get a kick out of this because we do not celebrate Halloween the same way in Malaysia. It's all commercialised there and only the pubs, bars and discos do the Halloween thingy where they have drinking contests and best costume prizes and what not where the yuppies gather.

So here are my treat bags.....

I actually think I am going to go to the Not-So-Scary Halloween party at Disney when I'm there. Especially since I have to work Halloween night and will miss all the fun! Pooh!

Go to Old Navy two days before Halloween. Costumes are 75% off. I've spent $5 or less the last two years.
