Halloween '15

Halloween is my favorite holiday, though you'd never know it by how much I slacked this year! I watched maybe half of Hocus Pocus, I didn't decorate, we got pumpkins but never got around to carving them, and I think I had one Apple Cider in the month of October. #fail

However, I think Kenley's little lemon costume made up for all my slacking. She decided sometime in August that she wanted to be a lemon. We don't know why, don't know where it came from or how she got this idea. I personally have never seen a child dressed as a lemon, so I don't think she saw it somewhere. We thought maybe it was just a funny response to our "what do you want to dress up as" question, but nope, she stayed firm and committed to dressing as a lemon. And, so, I scoured the internet and found ONE toddler lemon costume. 

I will not disclose how much I paid for this costume but I will say that it was worth every penny, plus she was able to wear it three other times outside of Halloween. So I consider this costume my one Halloween success. 

I also dressed up, for work at the coffee shop on Friday morning. I was all excited about my Poison Ivy costume and then no one knew what I was. I shouldn't say no one, because there were people who got it but one customer asked if I was leprechaun! 

For Halloween, Kenley and I met up with friends for a night of fun and trick-or-treating {J was holding down the fort at the Gopher game for me}. We had so much fun {despite the horrific Gopher loss}, however, my child needs a lesson on trick-or-treating before next year. She was so dang polite she took ONE piece from each house and nothing more and didn't get her mother a single Reese's Peanut Butter cup. The little lemon had the time of her life and was up partying until 11:30pm - so despite the small candy haul and major lack of preparation on my part, it was a great Halloween!
