Halloween Treating and Reading

Halloween is always a good excuse for creativity at my house. Each costume is conceived and created by the kids themselves.

Now  that my kids are older, they make their costumes with very little help from me.  My 12 year old daughter, Naomi, made a diction-fairy costume with the help of a $1 dictionary, poster board and a glue gun. 

I've never been thrilled about the candy part of Halloween, so when I saw author Julie Falatko's post on Facebook about her Halloween tradition to hand out books, I immediately started planning my own reading and treating!

Our local library had a book sale a couple of weeks ago and I scored 175 board books, picture books, chapter books, MG novels and YA novels.
