Hallow and fallish things

Before Halloween came to an abrupt end I was really feeling the Halloween spirit.  And now I'm just more than ready for thanksgiving and Christmas to get here that it seems silly to post about Halloween after the fact.

Halloween was really great though! The weather perfectly warmed up in time for Hallow's eve.  The kind of temperature in Utah when it has already snowed twice and then a week later it's like 70.  It's wonderful because you realize how warm 70 degrees actually is. 

A few weeks prior to Halloween, over fall break, I was at home and decorated/ carved pumpkins with some of my family.  I didn't even attempt to carve mine because it seems like i'm always disappointed with how it turns out. This year my awesome Sis-in-law brought tons of paint and glitter so I had fun going to town with the glitter. (side note: my childhood nickname from my bro was Sparkle girl) And lets be honest you can't mess up glitter and it always looks so good!  Also Aubree painted about 32 different layers of paint on her tiny baby pumpk.  That was entertaining.  And Kennadee painted a spider on her pumpkin that looked WAY good. like really? She's just a newly turned seven-year-old who will, clearly, always show me up for the rest of my life. It's fine. 

My friends and I finally got to the pumpkin carving thing on hallow's eve. They all carved these masterpieces and such while I drew a face on my tiny white pumpkin thingy with a....wait for it.......SHARPIE. The next Halloween morning itself was a party. Getting ready to "This is Halloween" from the nightmare before Christmas. (I kept doing the dance from Just Dance) because that song is always on repeat at my home! 

Oh and I attended like 3 whole costume parties this year with my friends. 

until next year!

*I'm not crazy about Christmas music early but bring on a little Josh Groban and Mariah Carey(and JB). Just a little and I wouldn't even be mad.*


enjoy some pics from my quick weekend home.  So glad I had an excuse to play in the leaves!
