We went to a Halloween party and forgot our costumes at home.
I know, right?
Thanks, Kevin&Jenni
for throwing a killer Halloween party.
Your artichoke dip gets me every time.
And the skull s*mores still have me drooling.
Three cheers for friends who don't hate on party-poopers.
and three cheers for Judge Judy.
As much as I love the candy overload that is Halloween,
Jeremiah and I are not big on the whole
get-dressed-up-and-go-to-a-party gig.
We typically just hang out at home
and admire all the cute little munchkins
as they ring our doorbell.
This year we happen to be going to a party,
-- though I doubt I will be able
to get Jeremiah (read: Party Pooper) to dress up.
The extent of his Halloween celebration
will probably be eating this little tower of treats
that I wrapped up for him.
How do you celebrate Halloween?
This picture of the Tivoli theme park at Halloween time
makes me want to go to Copenhagen So.Bad.
Gosh, we're such the Old-Married-Couple already. This weekend, we didn't go to any parties, or dress up. We didn't even carve pumpkins or buy any Halloween candy to hand out. Instead we relaxed, spent good time with family, and enjoyed some tasty treats. That's my kind of fun anyway.
Friday: I came home from work to find that my sweetheart of a husband had cleaned the bathroom, unloaded the dishwasher, taken out the trash, and hung up a new project I had just finished (without asking!) While Jeremiah studied, I watched, count-em, 4 episodes of Gilmore Girls and then cooked a lovely little Thanksgiving-like Dinner: parmesan chicken (which is totally similar to turkey ;-)), stuffing, sweet potato casserole and green beans. Jeremiah even joined me to watch The Proposal. Quite the relaxing evening at home.
Saturday: I woke up early on Saturday to do some stuff from work and ended up cleaning the house all morning while I watched old Halloween movies on tv. I also made some chocolate chip pumpkin bread and made a trip to Michael's to pick up some new crafting supplies. Now that Halloween's out of the way, I'm definitely diving into Christmas mode at full speed. We spent the evening at my parent's house, where we enjoyed a yummy little dinner and opened the door to the most adorable trick-or-treaters on the pla-net. My favorite was the cutest little blonde boy, probably about 2 or 3, who was dressed as a beautiful butterfly. It made my heart flutter.
Sunday: With daylight savings time ending, Jeremiah and I were well-rested and up bright and early on Sunday morning. We decided to watch Sunshine Cleaning while we enjoyed tea/coffee and some of that tasty pumpkin bread. Then I headed out for Ali's Birthday Brunch. I could have spent the rest of the afternoon, flopped on the couch, watching the Chargers beat the Raiders, but we went up to Fallbrook to spend some time with the in-laws. Dinner. Card Games. And a rockin Magic Show. It was a great way to end our weekend -- though i strongly believe weekends should not end.
Now it's Monday, but alas, the sun was shining brightly when I woke up and the smell of Christmas fills my office.
I know, right?
