HALLOWEEN | 2017

We were a little more prepared for Halloween this year than last year, thank goodness! I picked up some candy the weekend before, and Matthew had a found the cutest candy dish a few weeks before that I decorated. We found Reagan's costume weeks ago (when you don't have kids, your puppy is your child lol) and I had been looking forward to dressing her up in it. She was ADORABLE.

I wrote 'Trick or Treat' on the candy dish and added spider webs on the sides.

Matthew left for Knoxville Sunday night, but ended up finishing the job early so he headed home around lunch time on Tuesday. I was pumped because he was getting home earlier than expected and it meant he could hand out candy with me! We had our favorite crock-pot recipe going, the candy ready, our chairs set up, and since it was cold this year, Matthew plugged in our small heater! I talked my sister into coming over after she got off so to pass out candy with us, too! I found the cutest Halloween apron at Pier 1 a few weeks ago to wear while handing out candy.

 We ended up bringing blankets out because it got even colder!

We had a ton of adorable trick or treaters again this year, which always makes it so fun! My favorite this year was the little girl who was dressed up as a bumble bee. When she walked up and saw Reagan dressed up as a bumble bee she got really excited and started squealing lol it was adorable. We handed out candy for about 2 hours and then called it a night. We went inside for dessert and to watch Hocus Pocus!

Monday night I made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for a fun treat after we finished handing out candy, and my sister brought apple cider.

It really was the best way to end a fun night!

HALLOWEEN | 2017

He's the Cory to my Topanga

Ever since I was young I never understood anything about the world
and anything that happened in my life. The only thing that ever made
sense to me was you and how I feel about you. Thats all Ive ever
known and thats enough. Thats enough for me for the rest of my life.
-Cory Matthews   We had so much fun at the SOC Halloween party last night with everyone. All of the costumes were great!   Happy Halloween!

What does the mouse say?

// H A P P Y  H A L L O W E E N //   Usually I'm not too excited for Halloween because it's just another day for me. At home we live too far out in the country to have any trick or treaters and I've never been to a Halloween party other than the ones we used to have a school. (I promise I'm not too lame) And last year I had class. While everyone was out having fun I was learning about the history or theatre and he kept us the whole time. Crazy y'all just crazy!!   Well after 21 years ya girl is going to her first ever Halloween/costume party!!!! I am just so excited I can't even stand it!! I have been looking on Pinterest searching for the perfect couples costumes probably since August. Back in August when I talked to Matthew about what we wanted to be he straight up laughed for a good 5 minutes and thought I was joking but then he realized I was being serious and looked with me a little bit. LOL bless his heart. I don't know how he puts up with me and my crazy ideas sometimes but I couldn't think of anyone else who could!! LOVE you bear!   I can't tell you what we decided on being tonight until tomorrow or Friday but if you are following me on Instagram you will find out tonight :)   But I will share with you what I dressed up as for work today but first let me give you a little back story on this...I found out yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock that we can dress up at work as long as it's appropriate. I immediately thought of being a cat. I just wanted something simple because of my headset and because it was already 4 o'clock and we had dinner plans. church and our guys intramural soccer championship game for when I got off. So I text a few girls and asked if they had cat ears. No one had any. Zero. Awesome. So I told Matthew after the soccer game I needed to run to Wal-Mart to find cat ears. Y'all the look on his face when I told him that was like I just smashed his PS3 with a sledgehammer. HE. HATES. WAL-MART. with every fiber of his being, hates it. So I told him I would just drop him off at his apartment or he could just sit in the car but he said he didn't want me going by myself so late at night. So we ran to Wal-Mart and of course the Halloween section was destroyed and everyone had the same idea as I did. I found one last cat kit. Except it wasn't just a cat kit it was a leopard cat kit and it came with a leopard mask, tail and collar. I wasn't too happy with it but I got it anyways.   Well after really hatin on that kit I got my roommate told me that our other roommate had mouse ears. So I borrowed those from her and that is how I became...     Avery the Averitt mouse.

Presh I know. Picture taken in the bathroom at work.  Keepin it classy y'all   I drove to work like this, ears and all. It was great comic relief for all the cars stopped next to me at red lights I'm sure. I have decided work is better when you get to dress up. P.S. I did my hair and makeup in 45 minutes this morning. I am kicking this Thursday in the butt. Be safe tonight!
