happy halloween!

Our Halloween was pretty uneventful. It really just felt like any other day, which is strange because Halloween has always been a huge holiday for my family.

Michael was allowed to dress up for work, and this is what he came up with! He didn’t even really know who he was, but some people dubbed him “a professional Hokie fan”! Why not?

Hope you like his many-colored mustache. It was my contribution to his suave appearance.

Lelia went to a Family Home Evening party and dressed up as a cute cat!

When she got home, she painted some kitty whiskers on my face and we took some fun pictures.

I also put my Carnevale mask on for a few pictures. Hope you had a Happy Halloween!

“Hideugly”- the combination of hideous and ugly, pronounced “hid-ee-ug-lee”. A fictitious word that is perfect for describing how uncute my Halloween treats came out. Sure they tasted great, and practically melted in your mouth, but they don’t look very good… Actually, I’m not even sure that you can tell they were supposed to be pumpkins!

If you have a sweet tooth, go ahead and try these- they’re just my favorite brownie recipe dipped in melted chocolate (I used both white and dark… mmmm!) Michael and I went out to deliver them to some neighbors and friends last night. I love doing that kind of thing with my best buddy! (and I even got to drive the new car!)

Last night I went to the Relief Society “Make and Take” Halloween craft. I have a hard time resisting signing up for these sorts of things. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I always seem to forget what a slowpoke I am- I was one of the first girls to get started, and I was definitely the last one still sitting at the table after everyone else and finished and gone home!

But hey, my slowpoke-edness paid off… I ended up with some cute little candle holders!

We’ve got the dopey pumpkin, the one-toothed redneck, and then the classic normal.

Of course you need to see them in the dark!
