All Hallows Eve.

November! Hip hip hooray! 

I love November. 

I also loved October. 

Surprisingly, I even loved Halloween! 

(Gasp!) That may come as a shocker. Usually Halloween isn't my favorite. I mean, I love seeing little cute kids looking adorable in little costumes, I love that it means fall is here, and of course, pumpkins! However, I don't love scary things. Like spiders. And webs. And scary zombies. And men running around with chain saws. 

But this year, Halloween was pretty great! Maybe that's just because David and I think we're pretty fun people. Or because it ended up being a week of Halloween-ish events. 

We even dressed up. 

I thought we had a pretty good resemblance!

We started off our Halloween celebration by going to our ward Trunk or Treat. David made some chili for it. I voted it as my favorite. Not just because I'm biased....but because my taste buds fear spicy.....and every other chili was rocking the spicy. (A shout out to all you spicy lovers....I wish I could be as strong!)

Look at that pumpkin! Pure skill we have. Ok, so maybe you can't really tell what it is in the daylight....

But in the dark it is much better! Alright....now time for confession..... we used a stencil. Cheaters...I know.

Now, for the actual day of Halloween, we ended up staying at home.....eating a Halloween themed dinner. I even built a fort in resemblance of a cave. Sadly the fort isn't pictured. Though I'm a firm believer that expert fort builder should be allowed and applauded on a resume....

Last picture before his beard growing begins. Sigh. I will miss you clean shaven and kissable face! 
Now dear....if you read this....I promise I will still love your bearded face too!

Our menu included monster eyes, pumpkin, some mummies and some tombstone no bakes. 


 We tried listening to Halloween music.....but anything other than monster mash and thriller was too scary for my taste. Yep. I'll admit. I'm a big wimp. Maybe it's because I'm too hooked on Christmas music and it's non-zombie lyrics.

So long October! You were good to us.
