To help get my three-year-old twins in the mood for Halloween, I got a couple holiday CDs to listen to in the car on the way to school and other activities. But they have become obsessed with these CDs. If they aren’t in the car when we get ready to leave, they beg me to go get them before we drive away. If we take Daddy’s car that day, they remind me to get the CDs out of my car. And they want to listen to the CDs over and over and over again. I have listened to the same two CDs for two weeks straight. I have created Halloween Music Monsters! But their obsession is nothing compared to their reactions to the songs. They definitely have their favorites. Here’s what’s topping their list:

It seems like just yesterday we were playing around in the pool in the hot sun. But alas, the dog days of summer are behind us, school has started and fall is here.

Halloween is here. And now it’s a countdown to the witching hour - the hour when all the little goblins and ghouls will hit the street in search of their favorite treat - candy. But everyone has their favorite variety of candy that they will be on the look out for.

I just read an article about a grocery store that is refusing to sell eggs to minors this week. Call me naive, but I didn’t realize that egging had become such a huge issue.

It seems like all the favorite horror films have the same ingredients — creepy bad guy that just won’t die, particular objects that give you the creeps, moments designed to make you jump out of your seat and the poor schmoo that doesn’t even know he’s going to die first. But even knowing the standard formula, could you survive a horror movie?

It’s that time again — for all things creepy and spooky to come out and play. But the real question is what will you snuggle up with on your couch in the darkest corner of your living room for a spine-tingling night of the best of the best in hair-raising Halloween films?
