It's October Already???

Wow, I can't believe it's October already, and the second week of October at that. While springtime is my favorite time of the year, I love October as well.

It's my birthday month and what's not to love about that? But I also love Halloween. It's a good time all around. TV is always filled with all sorts of scary movies. Some I really enjoy, some I can't watch because deep down, when it comes to some scary subjects, I'm just a big sissy.

This is the time of year when the SyFy channel usually comes up with some zingers. The station plays most of these movies on Saturday night. Debuting one a week at 9. That's been the pattern in the past, it remains to be seen if this is still the case.

My family and I look forward to these movies. Most of them are more laugh-worthy then scary, but it's all in good fun. They did their own take of The Headless Horseman a few years ago, which was priceless.

My kids are too old for trick or treating now, but I used to love getting them all dressed up in their costumes. My daughter used to spend days figuring out exactly what she wanted to be and then hours customizing her costume to make it 'one of a kind'.

Fun times. Now we spend our Halloween night watching funny, but sometimes scary, movies.

How about you? What fun things do you do on Halloween?
