Love the costumes girls. Oh my gosh...October and Halloween could very well be my favorite month! It's alway been the turning point to more beautiful weather and fun treat or treat times. Our tradition has been getting the kids and now grandkids, all decked out for the big night and then feeding the neighborhood and trick or treaters hot dogs and chili. But, that has come to an end as of last year and we've moved on and are joining our kids and grandkids in their activities. More fun times.
Don't worry Kacey, this year will be another lull for you in the Halloween department and then you'll be so on to getting the new little one decked out for the season next year. Get it? Your life is about to changed...enjoy!
We used to have a disgusting dinner & pumpkin carving party every year. It was super fun, we (I) made creepy invitations and everyone brought something "gross" to eat. We haven't had one for the last few years, our kids grew up dangit, I kind of miss it.
I'm not a huge fan of wearing a costume myself, but I've made some pretty sweet ones for my kids. Once, when Eli was about 3, I sewed him a satin Elvis costume, with a cape, and we sprayed his hair black. It was awesome.
This is going to be my new Sunday tradition. Halloween needs homemade chili, cornbread, and like you said caramel apples. lots and lots of caramel apples with candy toppings.
This year, I am admitting that I am "maturing". Within just a few months, we have dwindled from five kids at home ... down to two. As our children leave the nest, I'm learning my new roles as mother & mother-in-law ... while still clinging to my final two birds and High School. I'm learning to color my hair more often and I'm wishing that I had been better at applying moisturizer every evening. Aside from getting wrinkly, I've decided that these are truly the BEST years of my life ... even on those not-so-great days! My sister taught me that life is SO good ... and I'm here to document all of it in hopes that my posterity and I will learn from it. Carry on and thanks for stopping by!
