Can you believe tomorrow it’s October? The countdown to Halloween can begin! I love Halloween and to celebrate all month leading up to it. I created a list of 31 Halloween countdown activities and a free printable Halloween Bucket list to help you keep track. (Scroll to the bottom of the blog post for the printable.)

Yay! Thanks Jenny!
Awesome list. I’ve been trying to come up with things for my kids and I to do in those long evening hours when Hubby’s out of town. It seems they stretch on forever and bedtime will never come. I’ll be using some of your ideas to help distract them (and me!) from turning on the whine before it’s time to calm down and go to bed. Thanks a ton! Came over via I Heart Naptime.
