HALLOWEEN IS COMING… ARE YOU READY?

We’ve got some serious Halloween lovers in our family. For us it goes beyond the trick-or-treating and we’re all about becoming immersed in the sheer fun of the holiday. Last year we spent months planning and purchasing supplies to turn our house into a Pirate Ship. Yes… I said PIRATE SHIP! This year we aren’t tackling such a huge project, but we do have some spookiness up our sleeves. We’re thinking more along the lines of creepy crawly things and giant spiders and all those nasty bugs that you fear are crawling under your covers.

Truth be told, we kind of like to #CrushHalloween. This year, Crush Soda has teamed up with Harry, the not-so-scary Scarecrow, and the adorable YouTube kids from KittiesMama to help create a family-fun Halloween experience.

I’m still trying to figure out my costume, but the kids all know what they are going to be. In fact… I’m pretty sure my weekend will consist of hand making an Anna dress. Why don’t my kids want those store-bought costumes that everyone else has? No… MY kids want me to hand make everything. Sheesh! But when I’m not trying to remember how to use my sewing machine, we’ll be heading over to Lombardi Ranch to purchase our pumpkins.

Lombardi Ranch has been a tradition for us since Temera was born. In fact, every year, our entire Kindergarten takes a field trip to pick out pumpkins there. If you are from Santa Clarita, you know how special Lombardi Ranch is. And if you aren’t from here… take a drive up and spend the day. There are hay rides and a petting zoo and a train and pumpkins of every size and color… and an incredible farm stand.

On October 23rd & 24th, Lombardi Ranch is having a special #CrushHalloween event happening from 10am - 5pm. If you don’t have your pumpkins yet… what are you waiting for? Halloween is NEXT WEEK!!!!

Lombardi Ranch is located at 29527 Bouquet Canyon Road, Santa Clarita 91390. If you are planning on attending the #CrushHalloween event, let me know and I’ll try and head over to say Hi. Seriously… it’s practically right down the street from me.

And… we’d love for you to join the #CrushHalloween Twitter Party on October 28th and 3:00pm EST (12:00pm PST). There will be awesome prizes ($100 Visa Gift Cards and Halloween Fun Kits). RSVP and use the hashtag #CrushHalloween to be eligible for prizes.

So tell me… are you ready for Halloween? We’ll be putting the finishing touches on our costumes and decorations this weekend, and then all that’s left to do will be to buy the candy. Shhhh…. I always buy the candy I like so that if there are any extras, I get to hide them from the kids and eat them myself. What? Like you’ve never done that before?
