This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Pop-Tarts.
Tami here. Mine is one Halloween-crazy family.If our yard isn't decorated by October 1st, neighbors begin to ask if someone in our house is sick. Once decorated, cars slow down to observe the graveyard and haunted house that adorn our front yard. Trick-or-Treaters ask to come in to our house to take pictures of the spooky sites. Who knew that gory ghouls love Pop-Tarts? Check him out!
And costumes are a MUST. Not just for our five year old, but for all of us. Last year, my husband was a butcher.

my sons will be a fireman and a policeman. i don't dress up.
I am going to be a clown for Halloween. Pretty simple: colorful pants and top, a big bright bow tie, some floppy shoes, and of course…a big red nose. It is a fun costume that I wear every few years when I can’t think of anything else.
My youngest is going as the red ghost from Pacman and My middle kid is going as a Greek warrior (think Hercules). I will probably pull out my witch costume with the fake crooked nose, warty chin, and green makeup.
My kids will go as 2 of the Fairies, 1 a spiderweb girl and 1 a gruesome monster

My nephew will be a pumpkin, spiderman and a pirate. I will have a witches had and a black t shirt on when I answer the door at their house since their parents will be taking them around the neighborhood.
