REPOST FROM TWO YEARS AGO!
What a spectacular way to learn how to spell Halloween!
When I was in grade school, my music teacher took the liberty to teach us a Halloween jingle. This darn jingle has stuck with me throughout my entire life. I even think about this jingle when I’m spelling out Halloween to ensure I’m not leaving out any letters.

So you’re welcome if my jingle is caught in your head for a bit!

Spells Halloween!
I LOVE Halloween. I don’t even think I enjoyed it as a kid more than I do now. As soon as October hits, I fly around like a crazy lady and throw up my decorations. My house is lit up inside as well as outside. My goal is to make it festive and a little spooky at the same time.
Halloween Costume
This year, my daughter was Shrek, but her costume that I ordered from Amazon didn’t arrive until three days after the big day. So I had to get creative and fix it up myself.
Damn you, Amazon, I ruined one of my pillows!
You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

That’s wonderful, I’m glad it worked out in the end.. Except for the poor pillow.😋
