I have LOVED Target's metal buckets. I try and get nice baskets or buckets because it seems like there is always someone who needs a little happiness. I got the big ones and filled them up with cookie mix, sprinkles, and frosting for Stephen's home teaching families.
Then I got six of the small pumpkin ones for each of my kids. I enjoy doing special invites for the kids to give to them for different activities. It gets them excited for whatever it is. The library did a special Halloween story night. They had one room for little kids with stories and crafts and then another for older kids 8 and up. They tell the stories by candlelight and have a table filled with scary potions and objects that they use. I absolutely love this one librarian that is so animated and rats her white hair up just like a witch for this special night.
ANYWAY, I'm getting carried away ... I stuck an invite to each of the kids with instructions to meet in our van at 6:30pm in PJ's if desired and WITH their new flashlight (that I had also stuck in their buckets). Then I had Ashley go and deliver them to each of the kids when they got home from school.
I have one other bucket for Stephen, that I need to finish up for Halloween.
Buckets are just fun!

so cute!
We love buckets as well. I actually got two frankie buckets as well and my boys have been carrying them around and filling them with random surprise.
What adorable bucket fun! I love the way you make invitations to invite your kids to go on outings. You've totally inspired me. Yesterday I made some invites for our family Halloween dinner tonight. My kids LOVED them! You can check them out on my blog if you want:) www.piecesofour8lives.blogspot.com
