Halloween & Moving Stuff

We're moving. We looked at a place, applied, and got it. We gave our notice. We've started selling our stuff. We have to sell SO MUCH stuff to be able to fit in this new place. I'm both sad and excited. The new apartment seems more cozy, and definitely cheaper. I just don't know where we'll fit all our stuff.

Today is Halloween. I'm super excited to take Chloe, and hopefully Madi, out trick-or-treating for the first time. We bought their costumes months ago. Madi's mother doesn't want us to take her, but I'm not sure she actually plans on taking her herself. She admitted she doesn't have a costume for her. Hopefully it will all work out. Eric will be pretty disappointed if it doesn't.

Speaking of Eric, he and I celebrated adult Halloween on Saturday night. If you follow me on Instagram, I posted a picture there. He was Santa Claus and I was Mistress Claus, or the 'Ho Ho Ho' as we called it a few time. We went to a party at his sister's house. It was a pretty good time.

I'd love to do a real update on Chloe lately, because she's been talking up a storm. She can sing the ABCs and Twinkle Little Star very well. She often says please when asking for things. She's so much fun to be around.

I hope everything is going well with whoever still reads this blog. I try to read blogs every now and then too :p

5 Great Ideas for Your Halloween Party

Halloween was always my favorite 'Holiday'. I don't know if it was because October is my birth month, or because I love candy so much. Maybe a combo of the two. I actually went trick-or-treating for my first Halloween (less than two weeks old!) every year until I was 18 years old. I would still go to this day if it didn't feel so unacceptable. Soon Chloe can go and I can be happy again.

So yes, I love Halloween.

Someday I would absolutely love to have a huge Halloween party. One with the spooky food, scary decor and tons of dressed up people. I don't have the budget for the kind of party I'd like to throw, but I sure do have a lot of ideas floating around in my head. These are just a few I've stolen from Pinterest.

I would have loved to share more ideas, but let's face it  - I'm lazy. And this post is late.

So, is anyone actually having a Halloween party, or has it already happened?
