Hallows-Eve.

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday....BUT i love christmas traditions...so that's a hard one.
but whatevs they are both great for diff reasons.
my fav thing about halloween is the fact that you can be anyone you want to be for one night...or two if your cool and invited to two parties...or really popular if you're invited to three parties!
in my guess i had to do my own party cause i didn't get invited to any.
not talking about unpopular self right now. i'm talking about how much i love dressing up as anyone I WANT! and eating spooky treats.

okay so this my 2nd party...i think that means it's annual?
what does that say about my party planning self? does it mean i'm controlling or i'm fun?
when you plan parties you're in control so that's nice, but then you're viewed as fun so that's even nicer.

so this year we did pretty much the same thing as last year because it was so fun i thought why not do the same thing?

the crow. diablo. andrew didn't understand why he couldn't have a cooler costume lol

our neighbor dropped off some halloween treats right when we were wanting to take pictures of our costumes before it got dark and our guests arrived. thank goodness for neighbors.

pippa was the perfect sleeping beauty.
andrew loves dressing up. he would never come out and say that.
but i can tell in his eyes with i'm applying his makeup.
he secretly shares the enjoyment of dressing up just like me.
it's really funny cause he acts like OH GOSH what am i going to be THIS year...
i'm like OH GOSH don't act like you don't love it.

being maleficent for a night was magnificent.
funny background on the costume.

we teach the 10&11 year old sunday school class.
one of our kids goes to a movie pretty much every weekend just like us.
so before we start our lesson and killing time we always ask the class how their weekend has been.
the sweet little girl always gives us her review on the movie she saw.
she told us about maleficent.
i could pronounce it.
she kept working with me whereas andrew was so bugged that i could say it.
long story short we told her we would see it since she said it was her favorite movie that she has seen so far this summer.
we saw it & i was obsessed with Angelina in it.
after the movie we walked out and i was like ANDREW I HAVE IT!
he was like have what?!
our halloween costumes!!!!
(it was august.)
