Happy Halloween!!! The scariest day of the year has always been one of my favorite holidays. Mostly because I love October and fall, but I also love costume parties! This year I hosted a small costumed gathering at my haunted house.
Double double toil and trouble
fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Calling all spirits with costumes made
to my little masquerade!
I’ll have tricks and just a few treats,
there will be spiders and a rockin’ beat.
Join me in fun, but be aware
that terror and fright will also be there.
Mazen’s school project was the centerpiece of the living room ; )
Sarah made her famous vomiting guacamole pumpkin!
I dressed up as the Statue of Liberty! The bridesmaid dress I wore in my sister’s wedding made the perfect costume. I made my crown using this template. So if you don’t have a costume ready for tonight, wear aqua and print the crown on cardstock!
My friends surprised me with this birthday cake and song. <3
We partied into the night, but I rallied for Mazen’s soccer practice the next morning.
Look at this sweet boy!
Saturday we went for a bike ride on the greenway…..
And opened Halloween cards and packages from grandparents!
And that afternoon we went to a pumpkin carving party in our neighborhood!
I think ours is a skeleton or ghost? You tell me!
We didn’t compare to the talents of this pumpkin carver!
Pot-luck dinner! YUM!
Sunday = all day sports. Soccer x2. Keeping up with my fantasy football team that evening!
What are you Halloween plans?! I can’t wait to help Mazen put on his ghost costume.

Looks like a great time! This weekend has been busy for us as well. We went to a Halloween party on Saturday, and had to take the kids to swimming at 9:00 the next morning (that was rough!!!). I love Halloween but my husband grew up in Italy so he has no connection to it at all…which makes it hard to be super festive!
