Happy almost-Halloween! I dropped off the kids at school in costume this morning and was reminded how much I love seeing all the kids dressed up. Little figures dressed as big ones from history, as animals and scary beasts. Such fun! I remember the Halloween parades from Elementary school so well, still. My best friend Jenna was ET and I was Marilyn Monroe and we were such a funny pair together.
I have a ton of Halloween posts in the archives on here if you need some last-minute inspiration. I’ve got some of my favorite of Aron’s and my costumes below, too. We’ve got something fun planned for this year, but I’ll share some photos later.
In the meantime, have a great weekend! Some items of note…
It’s hard to believe we’re halfway through October. Even Hudson mentioned the seemingly quick passage of time and you know when a 5th grader notices…
We’re deep into soccer games and fall-ball, but before long we need to finish up our costumes and get ready for the kids’ favorite holiday. Last night, while watching Game Five play out between the SF Giants and the LA Dodgers, we started talking plans and a mom leaned over and shared this simple but brilliant Halloween-hack! Place a flameless candle inside one of those plastic pumpkins for an instant trick-or-treating lantern!
I think we finally had our last of the 90-degree days in Davis (knock on wood)! The evening was cool enough for sweaters and closed-toe-shoes last night, and it might even be cool enough this weekend to consider a trip to a pumpkin patch. Because it’s always 10-degrees hotter in the sun at a pumpkin patch, right? If fall things like apple orchards and halloween decoration on our you list for the weekend, here’s an old favorite: a recipe for Honey Graham Hasselback Apples. Do you have any favorite recipes you pull out this time of year?
