1. We had a pirate - with his costume patterned after his favorite Lego guy. That's what he wanted, to look like a Lego guy, with feet and a real head.
2. Rapunzel actually wore her costume and her hair. It took three tries to make it long enough for her.
3. After wanting to be a surfer girl, Amelia Earhart, I. finally settled on Hermione Granger - and was perfect!
4. Baked Rig-a-boney. Takes forever to put it together, especially when you are making a gluten free version as well as a regular version. I make it every Halloween. Full bellies went out trick or treating.
5. 4 1/2 Costco size bags of Halloween candy were given out this year. Someone told Tom that it takes a commitment to live on our street on Halloween. Our street gets very into holidays. Plus, it was a beautiful night!
5. I copied the door I found on pinterest - helped us look a bit more festive. I used butcher paper from the elementary school which made this little addition free!
6. M. came home early and spent the next half hour parked by the door waiting for trick or treaters. I told you our street takes it seriously - the longest you wait is about 30 seconds!
.
7. I made 6 batches of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies this month - and have requests for more! I promise you, they are the best.
8. I'm on the lookout this week for the grapevine pumpkins with lights - but I only want to pay after season prices. I'm hoping that is a success. If you find them and live around me, let me know!!!
9. Time to start Thanksgiving - which I love more than Halloween. The Advent Calendar I made 2 years ago is still a major hit!
10. I think I'm living my dream - being a mom during the holidays!
How was your Halloween?

Is it weird that I kind of want to be one of your kids? You make the holidays SO fun. What a fun Halloween. I'll let you know if I see any grapevine pumpkins while I'm out and about.
Looks like you had a fabulous time. It is so fun to make happy memories for our children.
Looks like everyone had a great time! They all looked adorable!
Looks like you had a blast! Everyone's costumes were great. Did you make the Rapunzel hair?
I've made 2 batches of your pumpkin cookies. Jimmy took some to work where he was told by someone that they were the best baked good they had ever had.
Your kids look great in their outfits. Love the door. We had about 80 trick or treaters, which I thought was good, but you put us to shame!
You're kids look so cute! Also, I love your Frankenstein door.
I agree w/ Em--can I be one of your kiddos? I'd love an amazing costume, pumpkin choc. chip cookies, & all the funness that comes along w/ it. OMG, I. is the perfect Hermione!!!!
You made the Advent calendar?! Your talent knows no bounds. Stop it, you're making me feel insecure. =]
Your kiddos all look really cute in their costumes! I love your Thanksgiving advent calendar! I barely have the energy to do our Christmas one when it comes time...I don't think I could do two so close together!
I saw many grapevine pumpkins TODAY at Hobby Lobby. Not sure if you have one close to you, though?!
Have a great weekend!

Love the costumes! Your November Advent calendar is great. It must have taken forever to make it but it was definitely worth the time.
very cute! I love the monster door and your Thanksgiving advent!
hugs! Kim @ Party Frosting!
