Halloween Love/Hate

EVENTS

Halloween is this week!  So exciting!!  I can't wait to hand out candy to the little ones, it is so fun to see what they dress up like.  But to be honest with you, I hate Halloween, well hate is a strong word, but I really don't like parts of Halloween.

I hate having to come up with something to be for Halloween.  I feel like it is stressful having to dress up and go out to a party because I never know what to be and yes, I will wait till the last minute, making it even harder to come up with something.  Plus, I never really see anything ideas or anything I would like to dress up as.  I don't want to be a slutty whatever.  Come on, I would so much rather look cute then slutty.  Maybe that's just me.

But there are plenty of things I like about Halloween.

1.  I love scary movies and during this time they are on all day and night.  And the 13 nights of Halloween are the perfect chance to catch my favorite, Hocus Pocus.  

2.  I love to give out candy to the treat or treaters.  

And

3. I love Halloween decorations.  Love them!  They are so fun to look at and enjoy.

From welcome mats

to decorative pillows.  I love them.  

These pumpkins are my one of favorite items to put out for the holiday.

And this witch hat is a new favorite.

So with the bad of Halloween, I make up for it with decorations.  I will enjoy them for the next couple days until we change over for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

To Do List: Fall Edition

HER/PLACES

So fall has arrived with colder weather and a lot of rain.  I have to say that I am truly a summer person, but I love scarves.  I am a little excited for colder weather, but I wish it was only for a couple weeks and then we would be back to summer.  

There are a couple things I am looking forward to this fall so here are 

5 things I would like to do.

1. I guess I need to try one of those pumpkin spice lattes people are talking about.  I have never had one and would love to try it.

2. I would like to go and visit some friends in New York.  I am planning my trip and can't wait to go shopping.  I am already planning my shopping stops.

3.  Go and pick out pumpkins and maybe a corn maze.  I love picking pumpkins and thinking about what/how I am going to carve or decorate them.  This is what I did the other year.

I figured I would show some love for VV.
Oh and I would also like to get some mums.

 

4.  I can't wait to hand out candy to the trick or treaters!  I just love seeing the little ones in their costumes- they are so cute.  I usually go over to my parents because they get a lot of trick or treaters.  I will keep you posted on the cute costumes.

5.  I would like to make something new in my crock pot.  This is a great fall/winter easy dinner maker.  The ideas are endless.  If you don't have one, get one.  All you do is throw things in and after a while it's ready.

I hope to cross all of these off my list this fall.  I will keep you all posted on how it goes. 

If you are in the area and are looking for places for pumpkins or other fall goodies there are plenty of places to go.

Family Fun:

Rodgers' Farms- Great corn maze that are made to show a Maryland theme and pumpkins

Weber's Farm- Apple picking, apple cider, pumpkins
