It feels sad that the days are passing by in a blip. I am thankful we had the foresight to set up our decorations at the beginning of October. That allowed us to enjoy them for a time before we started in on the Save the Turkey Day festivities and now it's Christmas/Hanukkah hooplah.
But my mind is still on Halloween. I loved the skeleton heads that decked our lawn and made creepy sounds when guests walked by. I loved the fake cobwebs Don decked out across our small porch, complete with realistic looking spiders! And of course, there on the porch also sat the two pumpkin Don grew along with several more we collected as the 31st approached. And as always, our sweet Halloween flag hung in the front of house. Not sure what it is about Halloween time but my inner-child sure enjoys it! And my outer, real life kids do too!
This year, when it came time to decide "what to be" for Halloween, Havana opted to be a character from the Descendents movie (we had a D2 movie party over the summer where she wore the outfit as well.) Havana's custom then was super easy, a no brainer that was also super cute!
Amara wanted to be a bat and her costume was not so easy. She and her dad came up with the idea to make the costume themselves. Amara and Dad went and got the pattern, the material and got to work on a used non working sewing machine that Don managed to make new and working again.
It turned out that making a bat costume was a lot harder and much more time consuming than either of them realized. Thankfully, they started many weeks prior. Don finished just in the nick of time, the night before Halloween. I must say, he did a great job with his first (and maybe last!) sewing project.
It was a Happy Halloween for sure!
