halloween recap

We carved.


We dressed up.


Trick or treat!


We ate candy.


And we totally killed a pumpkin pie.

We had a great Halloween!

I bought the baby's costume because my sanity was becoming an issue; Darth Vader is a feat of engineering created out of cardboard boxes and duct tape.

boxes from the recycling bin + black duct tape = happy boy!

And one light saber....cannot forget the light saber!

We invited a family from Hubs office over.
I made a really simple dinner, hot dogs/chili dogs, chips, apple slices, grapes, candy corn. Everything was laid out nicely, but I skipped cutesy labels and didn't embellish the bottles of water (in fact, we don't do bottled water) (I could write a post on all of this...).

Guess what?
Everyone still had fun!
The dads took the kids out (they lasted for about 45 mins) and the we all had some pie...and they left the leftovers at our house.
Score!

So, of course I had pie for breakfast (we call this cowboy breakfast).


Now I'm packing away Halloween and lamenting the fact that I really don't have much Thanksgiving decor...
I'm getting bored with my general Fall items.


I feel a pin fest brewing...

Love the Star Wars theme costumes! You were creative to figure out how to make Darth Vader.

I'm with you on the water bottles. You should write a post on that and the unnecessary waste that they cause.

Turkey things are hard to find. In the 21 years that I've been decorating my own home or apartment, I've collected a lot of things and it's because I've really looked for turkeys each year. Look around when you are out and about and you'll find a thing or two to add to your collection each year.

I am looking forward to switching from Halloween to Fall decor -- seriously, it might be the highlight of my weekend this weekend :) LOVE decorating for the change of seasons :)
