Halloween!
We had a great Halloween this year! As this is hands-down Reed's favorite holiday of the year, of course he started planning his costume months ago. He wanted to be a mummy. You'd think this would be a common costume, but neither of our children have ever been mummies before. And what a cheap and easy costume! One $4 sheet from Walmart and we were done. We already had face makeup, so we were good there.
About two weeks ago, Reed said he wanted to be Frankenstein for Halloween. I said, "Reed -- I thought you wanted to be a mummy." He said, "No, Mom, I mean NEXT Halloween!" I told you it was his favorite holiday. Stay tuned for a Frankenstein costume next year.
I took a half-day off from work to prepare. Since the holiday fell on Friday this year, we weren't under any time constraints to be in bed by a certain time, so I thought I'd make it more special. I always want to be (but usually don't attain) the good mom who has cute parties with cute food, etc. So this year, I made:
Mummy Dogs
Creepy Crawlers
Chili Pie
and Ghost Cupcakes
After dinner, our mummy got dressed and headed out to get his loot!
Happy Halloween, y'all!

YUM! I'd much rather have the chili pie than a Reese's anyday! Glad he had fun. My little guy only made it to a few houses until he realized he could start eating the candy!
Have you guys died? I'm pretty sure I saw you at Christmas. Maybe it was illusion? Come back and give me some of life's tidbits please. . .
