Halloween is my favorite time of year. I love dressing up and since having kids, I like to do a spin off of whatever they want to be. This year we have super girl and the flash, so I might just go as killer frost 🙂

I’m going to be The Queen of Hearts. My youngest is going to wear a white rabbit costume that my Grandma made me when I was little (so awesome that my mom saved it!!), so we’re doing an Alice in Wonderland theme – hubby is going to be the Mad Hatter and my oldest daughter is going to be Alice. I’m not normally too interested in dressing up myself (love to dress the kids though), but this year I am super excited!
