Happy Halloween!

I just want to wish everyone a Spooktacular Halloween!! This year I dressed up as Princess Elizabeth from 'The Paper Bag Princess" from a favourite children's book, and James' dressed up as 'Bob' from Bob's burgers.

I knew I wanted "form" to my costume...take the 'paper bag' idea to a different level. I made my costume by hot gluing cut pieces from compost bags onto an old dress that I no longer use. Hot glue is my go-to hero of all things. I used a 'real' dress underneath, as we were going to a dance, and I wasn't sure how well paper would hold up to dancing around, and potentially drinks being spilt on me. I made my crown from tin foil and wire. I'm happy to report, the dress survived the evening :)

As you can see, we haven't yet painted our house...it's on the ever growing to-do list.

Halloween Pumpkin Goodness

Just popping in together to share the goodness that James and I carved up this past weekend. It was nice to do something fun together, since lately a lot of our together time has been working on various house projects - which are fun, but not fun like carving pumpkins. These pumpkins came all the way from the family farm, up north a couple hours.

I carved the two on the left - the cat pumpkin is supposed to be Oreo, the cat's, pumpkin. We felt a cat pirate fully represented him this year.  I promise I'm not too crazy, hehe. The skull face on the right was James'. We got a huge mixing bowl of seeds out of these guys too, so I am toasting those all up to nibble on while we watch scary movies Halloween night :)
