This is Halloween, This is Halloween

Happy Halloween! 

For the longest time I wasn’t really into Halloween.  I’m not big into scary movies and my costume ideas are always great in April but crap in October.  In the end all my thoughts of a great costume are always undone by my procrastination.

We always seem to come up with something.  Comfort is always chosen over complexity.  This year we were Guy Feiri and crazy cat lady.  Our annual tradition of going to my coworkers party was a lot of fun.  I got into the spirit of my costume by taking a big bite of all the delicious food there.

 

I even decorated the outside of the house a little this year.  Putting the giant cobwebs in the bushes makes the yard look spooky although not as spooky as the actual giant spider I found when I was doing them.  I'm not looking forward to taking them down.  I may have to just kill it with fire. 

We even got the dogs costumes this year.  Libby is a bumblebee and Geno is the Rufferee. Libby is okay with her costume, as long as the hood is not up, but Geno loves his shirt.  He's been wearing it since the beginning of the month and it's now half shredded from their wrestling matches in the yard.  I like it.  It makes him look like a badass.  

Our pumpkins.

Even our souvenirs are getting decorated.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween.  Hard to believe October is already over.  The months have really flown by since we returned home in May.

Tonight I will be celebrating Halloween at home, trying to hide from the Trick-or-Treaters in our neighborhood.  I may give out a few piece of candy but it's hard to answer the door and control the dog at the same time.  Since Kelly is working tonight I'll be on my own.

We celebrated the holiday last weekend with our annual trip to my coworker's party.  She does an amazing job decorating and we always enjoy going.  This year Kelly went as an elf off the shelf while I went as the Miller High Life delivery guy.  Not our best costumes but they were simple and effective.  My problem is I always have the perfect idea for a costume around February and inevitably forget by October.

We do decorate the house a little with dollar store decorations.  We just have one box of decorations, unlike Christmas where we have enough boxes to make it looks like we are moving.  I carved two pumpkins this year.  This was the first year I used power tools and it worked out okay.  I still have all ten fingers so bonus points for me.
