Happy Halloween! We’re back from vacation and finishing up our costumes—at the 11th hour, in typical fashion—and getting ready to head downtown for the Davis trick-or-treat trail, where they show Charlie Brown on repeat at the local theatre. Then, we’ll go to our friends’ annual party before more trick-or-treating (assuming the rain holds off). Aron and I are coordinating our costumes, but the kids are on their own this year! I’ll share some photos tomorrow.
What will you be doing?
Here’s some last-minute inspiration if you’re looking…
Starting with those amazing looking pumpkin fritters with caramel sauce, pictured at top.
Also for sweet tooths: the easiest, most-indulgent pumpkin dessert.
Orange sherbet pumpkins. (Easier than carving an actual pumpkin.)
Sidenote: candy may be misunderstood.
But, for something healthier, sweet potato chips that look like pumpkins!
How to make slimey, spacey goo at home. A good activity for the afternoon.
Costumes for babies, costumes for kids, and costumes for the whole family.
Easiest last minute party decor with balloons: pumpkins and ghosts.
Activities beyond the pumpkin patch.
The best Halloween movies on Netflix.
And the stay-dry version of apple bobbing for a easy-to-set-up activity.
P.S. Our costumes last year, the year before, and a few before that.
