It's almost time for Halloween and many of us are trying to figure out costumes for our kids and for ourselves, along with some pretty scary decorations for our homes. But let's be real, this year has been no different than a long Halloween day. With scary things happening around all year, Halloween seems like a good break from all of it.
Nevertheless, the kids are definitely looking forward to it. Given all the time we have in hand now that many of us don't have to commute to and from work, planning for Halloween has begun well in advance. Although, we're not sure if planning ever changed as the kids are always excited, pandemic or no pandemic. We also know that while it may seem like a Herculean task to be at the same enthusiasm levels as our kids, this year is slightly different as we need this one sense of normalcy back.
Therefore, in order to keep Halloween light this year, we've found some of the most hilarious tweets online from parents prepping for the scary season. So here are 15 funny tweets from parents who are ready for Halloween:
