Pumpkin lovin'

Yesterday I didn't get much done with the costume. The corsets that my sister ordered didn't show up yet so, hopefully they will be here today. Usually, we have problems sending packages to our house. It's not like we live in Harlem or anything, it's actually a cute little old town. 

Here's the "White House" in downtown...

Yesterday we had a long day of work, needless to say we were tuckered out by the time we got home. But last weekend we were thrilled when we saw a cute pumpkin patch on the side of the road.We searched for the best pumpkins there, picked out two then headed home. 

All we could do was wait until it was close enough to Halloween, since it was too early to carve the pumpkins. Then on Friday while swinging on our porch swing a wretched stench hit me like a brick wall! My beautiful huge pumpkin had rotted and had to be thrown away. I was bummed because not only was it a great pumpkin but I paid a pretty penny for it as well. Later that night Travie took me to Walmart to be a cute and much cheaper pumpkin. Finally on Saturday night we decided to carve our pumpkins.

Of course Travie's turned out to be amazing :D

Our pups kept running by while we "gutted" the pumpkins, trying to get a taste of them. All in all it was a fun time. We love Halloween!!

:o)

Cupcakes, Candies, Ice Cream, FABOOSH!

On Thursday my sister asked me if I could help her with her Halloween costume and of course I jumped to the opportunity. Mainly because it involved over sized sweets & treats but also that my sister is my best friend :o) 

So right after work Travie picked me up and we were off to Micheal's for the supplies. Travie usually dreads going to Micheal's with me but he got lost in the Halloween decorations while I hunted for all of the right stuff. 

Here is the picture I got the inspiration from...

After playing in Micheal's for over an hour, we finally made it home. I took the pups out, fed them, locked the jeddia gate (puppy gate) and sat down to start making the accessories for the costume. 

I started with the ice cream cone then the little hard candies. After facetiming with Soggies (sister) a million times, I was too concentrated to stop and take a lot of photos although I did capture a couple...

I'll try and upload more pictures soon!
