Transcription: Well, Halloween is a tricky one because it does require preparation in terms of costumes and candy buying. But it needs to be fun for the whole family. So I recommend about a month before Halloween, going on a pumpkin picking adventure. On a weekend you just plan it out in advance and it's something the whole family will look forward to. And then additionally you can even make it a separate day which is going and buying Halloween decorations or making them at home and decorating the house with them. And then buying your Halloween candy, you can do it with your kids or without. And we like to have a neighbors Halloween party. It's very low key. It's just the kids on the block. They are all invited over. I make or buy special Halloween cup cakes and give out the candy goodie bags. And its just a excuse to pizza party and its and excuse for all the kids to get together and have fun and it is Halloween themed.And then once Halloween comes it takes the pressure off a little bit because we've already been celebrating. And I always says it's best to all Trick or Treat as a family until your kids insist that they with their friends. Use that as great family time. ALL PARENTS, Family Life, Family Time
