Guess What's 3 Months Away?

Dare I start posting about Halloween when it is more than 3 months away and I haven't even started back-to-school shopping yet? Of course! After all, I am a Halloween baby myself. Here are some picks I've bookmarked so far:

Boys' Zombies Tee ($32; sizes 2-16) by Wes & Willy at CWD Kids . Since I was born on Halloween '72 (go ahead, do the math), I may have to buy this for my little guy once it goes on sale.


Popcorn Costume ($59; sizes 2T-3T, 4-6 or 7-8) at Pottery Barn Kids. PBK makes the best food-themed costumes (remember 2 years ago when my kids wowed 'em as a burger and fries?). This one is going to be a hot ticket (pun intended) this Halloween.

Wikki Stix Trick or Treat Pak ($21.50 for 50 handouts) at Amazon.com. You'll be less of a grinch for withholding candy if you hand out these fun black-and-orange Wikki Stix sets (always a hit with my kids).
