*These photos have nothing to do with this post.
I should be making our Halloween costumes right now.
It's been a weird week. We've been sick for what feels like a billion years, so long that Alexa's cold turned into a sinus infection. I'm losing access to my favorite doctor because my new employer's health plans are different. Things just feel OFF.
So help me I'm going to enjoy Halloween. A holiday of complete indulgence, in which there's full license to eat too much candy, dress like a fool and watch scary movies. Sign me up.
This afternoon I knocked over a few boxes in our hall closet, looking for the one we packed when we moved. Ah, yes, "Halloween and Barbecue Supplies." I'd like a bloody stump slathered in mesquite sauce, thanks. Suh-weet!
Only ... there was nothing in the box, save a hollow pumpkin and two glow-in-the-dark spiders. Womp-womp.
I told Alexa to get her shoes because Mommy needed some Halloween STAT. "How-ween!" she exclaimed.
A few hours later, and I am happy to report that there is now signage at our door that proclaims, "Find treats here!" and candy corn sits like a beacon in glass jars on our countertops. I've already made the glitter pumpkins (more on that later). The enormous bag of candy has been procured and is safely nestled in a festive bowl atop the fridge. Out of sight, out of mind, right?
T-minus five days.
*These photos, which I have been editing instead of making Halloween costumes, are from a few weeks ago, after we went to the pumpkin patch. Just a little side jaunt because it was a beautiful afternoon in Long Beach.
i hope you get some halloween this weekend! we are about to bundle up and head out to our church fall festival. today it is 48 degrees. yesterday it was 75. what is going on? i am cold. this has nothing to do with your halloween. i just needed to complain. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hear you on the crazy weather, although I am doing the opposite complaining -- it was almost 90 degrees here today. Definitely doesn't feel like fall.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. We just got plenty of Halloween at the kids Halloween festival and Trunk or Treat. They had a blast, I spent too much money and we got a trial run with the costumes!!! Now I need a break before we do it all over again on Wednesday!!! Happy Halloween! Hope you guys have a blast. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing a lot about Trunk or Treat ... this is new to me (my childhood was just us being set loose in our neighborhood for the evening). So it's just a bunch of people dealing candy out of the trunks of their cars? I wonder if there are any here in L.A.
