Halloween Recap

I am so excited about my November Challenge! I am a little concerned that $100 is too low of a number but I have to remind myself that I am not counting birthday dinners and that we have tons of food in the house right now!

Halloween was a blast this year. If you know me, then you know that I grew up with the Griswald's.

This is my father. He loves holidays!!! For some reason, this love for all things holiday didn't fully rub off on me. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas but am not a fan of Halloween usually. I hate scary movies, hate haunted houses and do not like most of the costumes designed for women. I do, however, enjoy pumpkin carving and watching little kids trick or treat.



On Halloween, Andy and I ate at Rubio's. I got a veggie taco with poblano peppers and portobello mushrooms and a steak taco. I am glad I only got one meat taco because these babies filled me up instantly. I always feel better when I eat less meat.



Andy got a bean and cheese burrito.



And these tiny little carnitas tacos. They were so small!



Andy painted his beard and went as Billy Mays for halloween. In the 5 years that we have been together, I have never seen Andy dress up for Halloween. This was a small miracle.



We stopped by my parent's house to see my little brother Daniel. Daniel is 8 and is my favorite person in the world! He dressed up as a viking.



Of course, I was Harry Potter.



My mom dressed as a pumpkin.



And my sister Sarah dressed as the sexiest little mermaid on earth.





My dad didn't dress up this year. He just rocked his Nightmare before Christmas shirt.

After visiting with my parents, we went to our friend Gary's uncle's house.



They had the largest pizza ever!



I had a slice of pepperoni. Look at this baby!!! Get in my belly!



And then Harry Potter took a shot of patron. You know, to help c

onjure up a patronus.



My friend Tiffany was Silk Spectre from Watchmen.



Gary was also from Watchmen. He made his own mask and it REALLY creeped me out! The colors in his face kept changing and I wanted to cry.



After visiting with Gary's family. (aka the sweetest family in the world!) We went to a party with friends.



Spotted a killer bee!



Lord Gaga



Enjoyed some apple pucker + vodka shots. (an adult version of sour apple jolly ranchers)



Harry Potter acquired a scar from Voldemort.



And posed with her favorite pitchman. Overall a great Halloween!

Tell me, what was your costume this year?
