Hi there! I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend!
Ours was very low-key, for obvious reasons. We didn’t have any plans except to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters and to stop by a small “open house” type gathering that some of our neighbors had organized. Suburban living at its finest 🙂
I stuck with a super-simple DIY costume (shirt, sharpie, and fabric paint) for Baby H and me:
And worked up these little clementine Jack o’ lanterns to bring to the neighbors’ house:
I did not come up with this idea! I just saw it floating around the Interwebs and thought it was cute. Plus, it matched my costume! The neighbors seemed to get a kick out of it too!
Interestingly, I ended up being pretty judicious with the amount of candy and sweets I took in over this sugar-filled holiday (in stark contrast to last weekend!). The sweets craving was fun while it lasted but I am glad that it seems to have subsided. Lord knows I won’t need any extra help putting on the pounds in these final two months.
Later this week I will have a fun giveaway so come back and see me then!!
