Happy Halloween!

Scariest parts of the weekend include:

• waking up to a sink filled to the brim with dirty dishes
• seeing 5-year old girls in skinny jeans and knee-high boots holding purses and Starbucks
• the fact that I found my Halloween costume at Forever 21… and no, they don’t have a costume section
• that the only produce in my kitchen is a 5 pound bag of carrots — I’m out of bananas so I’m having cereal for breakfast, which means I’ll be hungry again in about ten minutes
• seeing yourself tagged in pictures on Facebook — ‘nuff said, right?
• watching  your boyfriend try to make his own candles because you’re out and he needs to see what his carved pumpkin looks like lit up right now.
• how bad I Know What You Did Last Summer is — only made worse by the fact that you’ve seen Scary Movie way too many times and just keep thinking about the parody version while you watch the real version
• that your mom, dad and sister all now have iPhones, but you don’t even have a smart phone
• that it’s somehow Halloween already!!

Despite the fact that I’m kinda freaking out that it’s going to be November tomorrow, I’m happy that I ended October on a good note, with some pumpkin carving, “scary” movie watching, mac and cheese eating and costume partying.

Joey insists on doing a difficult design every.single.year.

I insist on doing the easiest one.

My sister wanted to be old school and draw her own design.

I seriously think this is adorable and every time I look at it I say, “awww!”

 My pink panther plans were thwarted by my inability to get that costume together in a few hours, so I went the zebra route.

Although I would have been warmer if I had worn a hot dog suit like Joey.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a fridge to restock.

Happy Halloween!
