Why it is Our Ultra Creepy Fantastically Scary (or not) Halloween Party?

Let me explain…


When the boys suggested having a Halloween party, I decided I would let them help with all the planning and decorating. That way I could hit the sale at The Loft while they workedblog while they work rest while they workenjoy making memories with my dear, sweet boys! (yeah, that’s it!)We made the invitations, planned the menu, and got creative with the decor.They talked and planned daily.I’ll have to admit, it was fun.The best part, they helped clean up afterward without threats.That showed me that they really took ownership of the party.Although, I would have done a few things differently, for once I took the ocd gloves off and let them take control and have fun.It was worth it and I hope they learned a few things along the way.
