To celebrate this month's Great Pumpkin Day I've already decided what I'm going to do!

1. I'm going to watch The Great Pumkin (Charlie Brown)
2. I'd like to complete at least 2 scrapbook pages from last Halloween
3. I am trying out a new meal and side dish

What are your plans this GPD?

To celebrate Great Pumpkin Day, I think I will make some pumpkin bread.

:hat: Great new smilies!

By this GPD my party will be a done deal! We have a ballgame that night, and we are having guests for dinner on Halloween night...our best friends! We always celebrate together. I'll probably clean the house and I might put together some goodie bags for our few trick or treaters. It should be an easy day this month! :ghost:

:boo:

This GPD I'm going to work on a Halloween Planner that I want to give to my best friend for Christmas so she'll have it to use next year.

 

[Cathymac]

:boo: That is a good idea. I might think about putting one together for my neice to go in her "Happy Homemaker" themed stocking. I hadn't thought about that, but she might like that. Thanks, Aggy! :bat:

My Sister who is a Halloween nut is having a Halloween party
and shes decorating her kitchen like a -- well I don't even know what to call it she's got snakes in jars and rats in jars and all kinds of creepy stuff anyway right now shes making a Grimriore
(spell book no creepy kitchen should be without one)
but it would be a cute Ideal for the Halloween planner to look like a spell book!

:jack:

 

[jackfrosty]

What a fantastic idea! Are you going to post a pic or link when shes done? I'd love to see it! :bat:

This GPD I'll be spending with my daughter and her kindergarden class for their Halloween party. It's going to be a busy day! :jack:

 

[MrsSoup]

Hmmmm, this GPD I will probably work on my Halloween Book, do last minute touches on decorations and costumes in preparation for Halloween night trick or treating!!

 

[DebbiGall]

she's having a party on the 27th if I can get a ride to Austin where she lives I'll take a picture of it, Their suspending my License on th 20th.
It's all she talked about the other day, but if I know her it's been done for a while now.
Born Organized and creative to boot, she dreams it up and it's done ((sigh))

Halloween my kids have a half day of school!! I will probably be in their classrooms celebraing their "Fall Festivals" ...so on the GP day (30th) I will probably finish las minute preps for the parties...hehe

 

[java elf]

I'm pretty sure I'll be putting last minute touches on my daughter's ladybug costume. =) It's almost here! :hat:

 

[aggy]

It's too late to use this year but I just had a thought. For your Halloween notebook next year, you can use the wardrobe planner to keep track of costumes for each family member.

It just came to me as I am working on putting together a Halloween notebook for my DF as a Christmas present.

 

[jackfrosty]

Do you have a link to that, aggy? That's a great idea! :boo:

Here it is Jackfrosty:

Wardrobe Planner

It's one of CEO's printable forms at Organized Christmas.

 

[happy2bme]

I will be baking something with pumpkin - I have some new recipes to try. I will probably be helping my daughter finish her costume since she has no idea what she is going as.

[jackfrosty]

[jackfrosty]

I know it's Rudy Day-but I need to get my outdoor witch painted today! :bat:

I have to work at my 2nd job on Halloween this year. (I work at Hancocks some nights and weekends). We live out in the country and don't usually get any trick or treaters plus all my DK are adults and no GK yet. But DH is a hs teacher. I am going to put together a large glass jar of candy with a Halloween note on it from him. Next year I plan on being at DD28 house. She lives in a big trick or treat subdivision. She probably could use the help !
