Okay, so this blog is going to reveal how old David and I are (or how old we act). While the rest of our friends are out partying it up for Halloween, we rather enjoy staying at home and handing out treats to the kiddies, making dinner, watching scary movies and torturing the dog as usual. This year was no different. If anything Halloween was tamer for us this year since most of October was filled with the "other scary holiday" (in David's words)... our wedding. That coupled with the incessant rain meant the usual lavish decorations were kept mainly in the storage closets, much to David's dismay. Nonetheless, a taste of Halloween Pines-style.
So story goes that David's mom made great pumpkin cookies when he was growing up. And now he demands cookies every Halloween. The day got a little busy so I made the cookies and he was in charge of icing and decorating.... ummm, yeah :).
A taste of the decorations around the house. This usually involves tombstones all over the front lawn, skeletons spread about and a fog machine but the thunderstorm the night before didn't allow this. We weren't quite as dedicated as the man around the corner who waited out the rain and set up his guillotine and severed limbs on his lawn. Although it seems as though we were up there because a few kids cried and refused to come to our door.
And of course, what would a holiday be without us torturing the dog... I present to you Butters: The Karate Dog. Hay-Ya!!!!
David's favorite part of Halloween are the jack-o-laterns... so this year, because of my crazy schedule, he did the carving himself...
Last but not least... i share with you my 7 hour beef brisket dinner... had to share as I was rather proud of myself :)
*So David was pulling his knife away when I took this and it eerily looks like he is trying to stab the dog... Halloween-themed picture illusion.
*And this is what it looks like when he is really fake-stabbing the dog. Nice.
