Happy Halloween! I know it is officially over, but I have to write a post about my favorite Holiday! It still amazes me how you prepare for months all for one day. It sure is worth it though. I had a ball this past Halloween. For the first time ever, my costume was something scary. I went as a vampire. It was so much fun painting my face and adding blood with fangs. I also had my brother and sister over to celebrate with a mini Halloween party. We painted pumpkins, played pin the tail on the black cat, binged on “gross” food and devoured the delicious desserts. It was a fun time which I always wish would have lasted longer. Holidays go too fast!
Now that Halloween is over, it is time to change gears and get in the mood for Thanksgiving. Before I know it, it will be here. The Christmas trees are up in stores and already advertising on TV and the radio. Still too soon for me. For now, I am still enjoying the fun time I had on Halloween, my favorite Holiday! I posted a collection of pictures from my costume to the decorations and pumpkin carving. Halloween 2012 was one to remember!
Spooky sign with streamers
The skulls and candles lite up, which was very eerie at night
A pumpkin trail
Scary “Beware” sign with bloody cheesecloth
Eek, I spy mice in the house!
My vampire costume
I had a lot of fun putting this costume together, the only thing I paid for was the makeup kit for $3.00
My sister the pirate
My kitty was a pumpkin! His hat only lasted about .5 seconds before he took it off
The Great Pumpkin!
The white pumpkin I painted
All of the painted pumpkins
My Jack Skellington pumpkin template for carving
I cut out the template and traced it onto my pumpkin
The most time consuming part was the tracing, carving was a breeze!
Cannot wait to make pumpkin seeds

Happy Halloween!
