Halloween

Just a week and a half late...no biggie, right? :) Halloween was a lot of fun!! We let our inner nerds out for the evening and we had lots of fun with it!! My dear husband LOVES (if this was not capitilized I would be underestimating his passion) Harry Potter. He's watched every movie dozens (ahem-hundreds) of times and always wants to see the midnight showing of the latest movie. In fact, he's probably planning our trip to Universal Studios for their new "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" attraction right now! Needless to say when we were out shopping for Halloween costumes and came across the Harry Potter costume our decision had been made. There was no turning back. We had to find me Harry Potter-esqe costume. We came across the Wizard Wanda (no, not a character, but it passed as one) costume. It was a bit risky but I made it appropiate so all my neighbors didn't see all my business. Eek! Fortunately, our awesome neighbors had their annual Halloween party so we had somewhere to show off our inner nerd. It would have been a shame to sit in our house and give out candy (which we did do after we left their party). I'll leave you with some pictures at the end.

Well, now that Halloween is over I am SO READY for Christmas! Don't get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving and everything that comes along with it...time with the family and good food...I just ADORE Christmas time. Not to mention, Thanksgiving is going to try and kill my diet and exercise I've been doing (I must brag...I've lost 7 pounds and 12 total inches). I am one of the few who loves the Christmas decorations in Macy's in September. I could be in the worst possible mood, walk in there, see the Christmas decorations (and shoes) and my mood is instantly lifted!! I wanted to put up my Christmas tree so bad after Halloween but I refrained from doing so. I still have not allowed myself to give in since we are trying to make and keep the tradition of putting up the tree on Thanksgiving night. You just may have to remind me to step away from the string of lights!! In the meantime I'll just keep listing to my Christmas station on Pandora radio. :)

And on that note here are the Halloween pictures...
