there's no such thing as a pumpkin shortage, charlie brown
ok. so let's say its all hallow's eve eve and I don't have any pumpkins to celebrate tomorrow's candy night! and i heard people talk about a pumpkin shortage but i wasn't a believer and then our friendly organic farm cancelled their pumpkin fest b/c um no pumpkins. but i still was a disbeliever. but today, october 30th, when i decide to drive to the meadows farm and look for one, um there are NO pumpkins. as in, NONE. woops. could this be the year without a jack-o-lantern? eeek. so there you go, the "pumpkin shortage" is really for procrastinators. sooo this weekend we drove up to my cousin ELizabeth's for her 7th annual halloween party. this was our first appearance and it was awesome. she has REDEFINED decorating for the holidays. halloween was EVERYwhere. The party had a theme of Addams Family vs Munsters. I had a few ideas, but once again procrastinated and thursday(3 days before the party) went to about 3 thrift stores before i went to a party store and BOUGHT steve's gomez costume. which was beyond cheesy. but funny. if you want to see pics email me b/c we have posted them on our family site but im not broadcasting that here, b/c yeah, im in them too and this is a total anonymous blog! ficemook @ gmail .com soooo i was WEDNESDAY ADDAMS, and my $8 thrift store dress was AWESOME. i was of course searching to find a sweet morticia addams dress when i happen upon this PERFECT dress. did i mention it was $8. so it just so happens that when women are given the choice of being a sexy siren monster mom or the weird daughter, sexy wins. so you can only imagine all the hot moms at the party ou
tdoing eachother and i was the ONLY WEDNESDAY. it rocked. woohoo. and in the future if anyone wants to borrow this dress, just let me know b/c i am keeping it forever. AND b/c of my costume purchasing...drum roll...I am creating a HALLOWEEN COSTUME box. for the attic where i will store all my wonderful costumes. ahhh nothing like the beginning of an era. Here is a sneak peak of little man steven with his haunted house that we have inflated on our lawn for the last few weeks. oh yeah, and if someone you love reads "This Old House" and finds an article about a good solution on how to get rid of chipmunks, do not volunteer to go to a gardening store and have to utter the phrase. "Do you sell coyote or fox urine?". and then stand there while the cashier blinks at you. blink blink blink. and no im not repeating myself! days til halloween:1, bags of candy purchased: 0,.
