Halloween Happenings!

Yes, that is going to be me on Halloween next week! I'm going to be Pikachu. Last year I was Hello Kitty, but my nephews are all in to Pokemon now so I decided to be Pika. I know Halloween is like everyone's fav holiday but to be honest I like Thanksgiving & Christmas best. Don't you think that's just a happy time of year??? I like to be around all my family too & all the yummy treats/desserts, or food in general. I also love to cook/bake during that time of year too! And if i'm lucky I can talk my mom into making her $500 Fudge. I keep telling her to rename it cuz it got that name in like what....the 60's & when ya think about it now $500 isn't really all that much money. Right?

So, we since the kids were little we've just always done certain things for the holidays, whatever holiday it may be. At Halloween we usually, not always, but usually will go to the "Garden After Dark" at Red Butte Gardens & walk around there. However, this year we aren't. It just seems like if you're not a member it's kinda pricey to pay $10/person & so this year we aren't going to make it. Plus, our Oct. kinda got a little crazy so we had to adjust accordingly. So this week, we are going to go see the witches at Gardner Village. Which, is always kinda fun. I think the kids just like to get out & about. But they seem to enjoy it. Then we'll generally make it to Frightmares sometime during the Halloween season. I also, throw them a Halloween party every year, which we had last Friday. Up until this year, we have always grown our pumpkins, picked them & carved them. But for some reason my garden was NOT going to let pumpkins grow. I planted 4 different plants & they all died. All except my Cantaloupes, which I didn't really want. But whatev's. So we picked out our pumpkins at Smith's Marketplace instead. Then brought them back & carved them. We also do Halloween bingo, bob for apples & frost cookies. So that's always fun. I just like to see their cute faces light up & get all excited.

Then we'll all meet at my bros house on Halloween & get pics & go trick or treating. And, if you go to my mom's house then you get full-size candy bars. Just FYI. :)
