I know I promised an update post on what my Halloween ended up being like after I got my costume pulled together and got my pumpkin all carved. I forgot about it as a mini Halloween mid week post. So instead you get the whole week post instead with the Halloween Aftermath so to speak.
First of all though, even though I for the most part had fun dressing up, carving pumpkins with my niece and nephews, watching "Nightmare Before Christmas" with them, and later "Hotel Transylvania with a friend and her kids... For the most part trick-or-treating this year was a total let down. We hit the streets with the kids at around 7:30 and you could literally look down a street and see that it was nothing but dark. A few scattered houses would open their doors and there were a few people who sat in driveways and car ports handing out candy, but all in all it was a complete dud of a year.
I felt cheated and all I was doing was walking around with the kids while they went up to get candy.
WHERE IS THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT?!
It was sad.
Anyway, my folks told me that my pumpkin got a lot of compliments this year for Halloween and one person actually took a picture of it. I carved "Oogie Boogie," from 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. He said it was the best carving of a pumpkin he'd ever seen, according to my mother.
Honestly I thought my "Maleficent" Jack-o-lantern from last year was much better hand harder as far as technique goes. But I was still happy with how it turned out.
The best party about Halloween though has still got to be dressing up this year. My friend helped me do my make-up and let me use a purple wig that she got at the flea-market. We kind of matched in our faerie costumes.
I don't know what I'm going to be next year but I'm excited to come up with ideas. Maybe I'll have to come up with something far in advanced so that I can start making things now. Happy Holidays!
