Halloween Decorations

We put up our Halloween decorations and fall stuff last weekend and even though this will be our 6th Halloween in St. George, it still seems kind of weird to have Halloween decorations up when it was 102 degrees all week. I love living in St. George, but every once in a while I miss the change of seasons. I don't miss the cold, just the smell of the sugar factory and the coolness in the air at night! It is supposed to cool off a little this week, so maybe it will feel more like October. Halloween is my kids favorite holiday and I have become quite a fan myself. I love Holidays and Jayson says I am like a kid in a candy store when it comes to holidays. I can't wait to carve pumpkins and make carmel apples. I love all the family traditions that we have for each holiday. Jayson is a pretty good sport. He didn't really grow up with traditions, so over the years I have gotten him to do things that he wasn't real thrilled about, but I think he enjoys them now and the holidays wouldn't be the same without them. I am baking my first pumpkin pie cake tomorrow and made gingersnaps today. I love fall baking!
