Halloween 2013

Halloween 2013

I can honestly say I never, ever thought I'd be typing a blog post with that title. You see, we're just not huge Halloween fans around here. I LOVE costumes and dressing up. But that's basically the extent of our enthusiasm. Tommy doesn't appreciate the money I pour into my costumes (he wasn't allowed to celebrate the holiday as a child), I don't appreciate the piles of candy I assume will be piling up in our future, and neither of us love the idea of spending the evening with ghosts and goblins. (Or zombies? And vampires?) 

But my parents are in town this week and they were enthusiastic about Sunday Trick-or-Treating for the holiday.

Happy Halloween!

Can you guys believe I actually almost missed out on this Halloween adorableness?! It seriously wasn't until about two weeks ago that I decided I should probably buy a costume for Sunday. I just figured it would be a waste of time and money since she would never remember this particular Halloween. But when I realized we would be attending a lot of costume-friendly events this week I figured I should put her in something. I browsed a few local consignment shops and the striped tights in this costume is what sold me! I just want to eat her up, she is SO CUTE!! I can't believe I almost missed the joy of this!

I hope you guys have a fun holiday today. We are going to light a fire in our little fire pit and curl up under big, fluffy blankets and hand out candy from the driveway. It's becoming a tradition around here. We get like 3 trick-or-treaters so really it's just a fun time of hanging out with each other and an excuse for Tommy to build a fire.

And just for kicks... here is us from Saturday night. Super last minute costumes... I was inspired by Sheena and threw on a (desperately!) homemade pirate costume. And Tommy found his costume idea somewhere on Facebook... can you guess what he is? :)

Happy Halloween!
