What we did Halloween 🎃

We love holidays! This year we did not do the traditional trick or treating around a neighborhood because the traffic was terrible . It took 33 minutes to get 1.5 miles down the road ! So this is what we did instead :

👻 A big county Trunk or Treat ! ( so much candy and fun !) — this was actually on October 30th.

👻 Trick or Treating on the square ( wasn’t as many venders as last year but still was fun )

👻 Went to 5 Below to let my son do a little shopping ( $20 limit 😅🫣)

👻 Ate at Cracker Barrel where kids ate free on Halloween … paid $13 in all for our two meals ( including tax and tip )

My son’s costume is “Ghost Face the Janitor”

... Read moreSpeaking of Trunk or Treat, it's truly one of my favorite ways to celebrate Halloween now! The creativity people put into decorating their cars is just incredible. While my son rocked his "Ghost Face the Janitor" costume this year, I've seen some amazing setups that really spark ideas for future Halloweens. If you're ever looking for some "trunk or treat vampire ideas," trust me, the possibilities are endless and so much fun to bring to life! Imagine transforming your car's trunk into a spooky, gothic vampire's lair. You could drape dark, rich fabrics like velvet or satin, add some artificial cobwebs for an ancient, abandoned feel, and even hang some plastic bats from the trunk lid. For lighting, battery-operated LED candles or red string lights can create that eerie, blood-red glow without any fire hazards. A prop coffin, even a small one, could be a fantastic centerpiece, maybe with some fake blood splatters for dramatic effect. I've seen people use dry ice for a low-lying fog, which makes the whole scene look incredibly atmospheric – perfect for a vampire theme! For the person handing out candy, a classic Dracula cape and fangs are always a hit, but you could also go for a more modern, sophisticated vampire look. Or, to add a twist, someone could be a vampire hunter, like a Van Helsing character, standing guard over the candy! It’s all about creating a little story with your trunk setup. I remember seeing a trunk where a person in a vampire costume was "sleeping" in a prop coffin, only to jump out when kids approached, which was both spooky and hilarious! When it comes to the treats, think about how you can tie them into the theme. Red lollipops can be "bloody" treats, and those plastic vampire teeth are always a popular non-candy option. Dark chocolate or candies wrapped in black and red foil would fit the gothic aesthetic perfectly. From the massive piles of assorted Halloween candies I saw at our county Trunk or Treat, it’s clear kids love anything sweet, but a themed treat just adds that extra layer of magic. Even my son, in his Ghostface costume, was thrilled to collect goodies from every decorated trunk, and I bet a vampire-themed one would be a huge hit! Overall, Trunk or Treat is such a rewarding event. It lets families get really creative with their decorations and costumes, and it provides a safe, community-focused environment for kids to enjoy Halloween. It’s definitely something we'll be doing again next year, and who knows, maybe we’ll be the ones with the best vampire-themed trunk!
