Tomorrow is Halloween, which means that the kids have already dressed up 15-25 times for various reasons. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but I will say that Nealy was sick of her super special butterfly wings by the middle of this past week and she started fishing in the dress up bin for something new. She ended up as a mermaid for the library party Thursday night and for Trick or Treat day at her school on Friday, so who knows what she'll want to pull out tomorrow. My vote is for the pink dragon costume that belonged to her older cousins because it's cooooold out there!
One thing no one is sick of around here? Mustaches. It has been my entire costume plan for myself, because I seriously don't have much time to make myself over into something other than my normal make upped self (no one needs to see the alternative in the winter - you only get to see unshowered, unmake-upped, dirty clothes mama in the summer time when it's too hot for anything), so I hardly have time to make myself into Endora from Bewitched or one of the Mad Men ladies (both costumes I'd love to wear). But a mustache - a little liquid eyeliner that's only used at Halloween goes a long way around here.
What was I saying? Oh, I should mention that I just fed a slew of teenagers brunch, which means I'm pretty close to napping off those extra slices of bacon I enjoyed. But I guess I'll leave you with some pictures of some Halloween fun so far rather than rambling on and on only to get lost in a post brunch stupor.
On Friday afternoon, we made a quick trip over to the college of architecture to see the annual pumpkin carving. This is one of my favorite events that we never properly enjoy because it happens at dinner time when we need to be home getting settled in for the night. I know we will all get to enjoy this event even more as the kids get older - such a wonderful tradition! (the first picture in this post is from the pumpkin carve - I love their method of using old tires for pumpkin displays!)
And we managed to throw in a little game day fun yesterday to celebrate the arrival of actual football weather, which is so much nicer than hiking to campus in 95 degree heat only to visit with old friends while sweating through your pants. Scarves, boots, and jeans make for much cuter football attire.
Trick or Treat pictures from tomorrow will be pending. We'll enjoy the evening with some of our subdivision friends, because subdivision neighborhoods are where it's at for Halloween.
One more pic - a little love for some Beckwith staffers, now friends, who were in town for a weekend visit. We all enjoyed a Sunday brunch with Luke. It was a lovely morning
