Festivities

You wanna know how we celebrate Halloween?

Fabulously. 

Hahaha. No. I mean, maybe.

I know that Halloween is a controversial subject.... which is sad. But when I say we celebrate Halloween, I don't mean that we get all into dead things and celebrate the devil's birthday, I mean we eat candy and dress up and have a great good time.

I don't even know why people think it's the devil's birthday. Like... hallow means holy. Last I checked, Satan wasn't. So Halloween is us celebrating the holy souls, not devil worshiping.

Got that? Okay!

First of all, I have the best brother ever. He's awesome. And he bought like a ton of pumpkins.


 (This day actually kind of sucked, but it got better with pumpkins.... why did I tell you that? Because I don't want you guys to think my life is idyllic. It's not. Heh.)

Chloe and Sam
After we gave the pumpkins a lobotomy and removed their brains and innards, we took the party inside and carved them into various versions of Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas. (A movie I only just watched... after we carved the pumpkins. It was.... odd. I liked it. But like... weird!)

The girls.
Cinta

Chloe and Sam were sooooo happy. 


 

Sammi the Friend came over and was awesome as per usual. We had a good time taking pictures. We do that. 

Me, Sam, and Sammi

Bella and I took a selfie. Because she's weird. And I'm weird. And we really weird together.


Tiny was proud of her pumpkin. 
I don't think pumpkins like being carved. 


Amy and Cinta carved a complex and toothy Jack the Pumpkin King and were very proud of his teeth.



And this is a terrible picture, but I like it, so I'm posting it, because I do what I want.



Angela the Cousin came up for the weekend, which was fabulous. It's been ages and I missed  her!





Amy and Angela in a nutshell

And then we went over to help the little girls get dressed up. (Because we don't care enough to prepare costumes until like.... the day OF Halloween.)


Chloe and Sam were Toothless and Hiccup. And it was adorable.

Bella was Bucky

And we went Trick or Treating, and whacked a pinata, and watched The Halloween that Almost Wasn't. 

Since Angela was still here, we went down to Reno on Saturday, and we brought Sammi the Friend.

This entailed car selfies.


After that there was dinner, and brownies and cappuccinos. And we watched Rise of the Guardians and The Wedding Planner. Both are adorable movies. It was funnnn.

Yet another bad pic that I needed to post.
Because it's also adorable.

It ended up being a nice sort of week.


Cheers!
