Putting it all away

It took me two days to clean up the kitchen from our Halloween dinner including the pumpkin carving, the caramel apples and our Halloween dinner. It took me another day to put away all the Halloween decorations, that's the bad thing about having Halloween being the last day of the month, you have to get it all put away so that November can come...one of my friends doesn't decorate for Halloween, I guess that's one way to do it, if you don't decorate, you don't have to put anything away..., I didn't use to decorate for Halloween when I had babies, but as my kids have grown older, they have forced me to do it (in a way) and I figure that I have to do it while they are excited about it because there will come a time when they won't care as much.
