My kids love them! After they tried them I went back to the store and bought ten more boxes. My son is crazy about candy so far we have been able to satisfy that with the raisins. My daughter who likes Skittles, but shouldn't eat them because of her braces, is enjoying them also. What a fun healthy replacement for a sour candy.Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Yummy
I found these when I was getting golden raisins for something I was cooking. They are sour fruit flavored raisins, they taste like sour skittles or sour patch kids candy.

Costumes
This is a good time of year to fill a little girls dress up box. I was at Walmart and saw that they had Disney Princess costumes for $10. (would make a great Christmas present) Those dresses cost $30 any other time of the year. Watch for good sales on these items just after Halloween. Other places I have had good luck are local second hand stores (they cut the price in half the day after Halloween) and resale shops.

Pumpkins!
No one wants to throw away a pumpkin that they spent all that time on. I have found the answer. (You may have seen these before) Craft pumpkins!! One Saturday in October (at Michaels) you can purchase a craft pumpkin (at a discounted rate for this activity $5) and work on it in their craft room.
Every year they have different projects for the pumpkins and they always have more then one option.
I love that the store provides the supplies and the room to make the mess. (No cleanup for mom!)
Every year we pick our favorite one and add it to our collection. I wonder what it will be this year?

Halloween Decoration
Halloween Decorations are fun! and they don't have to be spendy or fancy. As you will notice my life and surroundings need to be kid friendly, and affordable.
The kids have a blast with these. I picked up each bucket for a quarter a piece at a local second hand store. We have stacked them to make a Halloween totem poll, and they can still use them for trick-o-treating. As an added bonus the kids I watch LOVE to play with them, fill them with toys and restack them when done.
