My favorite part of Halloween is carving pumpkins. We usually have a
pumpkin carving party, but we had approximately negative time for that this year, so instead we carved them by ourselves one night.

Bo's scary Chinese dragon, and my Gator pumpkin! |
We tried a few new seasonal beers (in hindsight, probably not a good idea while handling sharp objects?). My favorite was Leinenkugel's Oktoberfest and Bo's was Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat. The Punk'n beer was just okay - we probably won't be getting that one again.
After cleaning out the pumpkins (my least favorite part), I roasted pumpkin seeds. We snacked on them for about a week. They are so addicting!
And if you thought I was kidding
last year, we wore the Halloween costumes from
Amy again! This year we actually had a party to go to, and these were the most comfortable costumes ever. We both wore pajamas underneath and no one knew it. I didn't even bother doing my hair or makeup. It was awesome. I will admit it was rather difficult to drink my beer, but I found a straw and made it work. We didn't have to spend any money, I wasn't cold, and I didn't look like a skank (as is popular for females my age these days). Plus, everyone loved our costumes. Wins all around, thanks again Amy!!
Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
You r right, most the costumes for adult women r completely skanky! I cannot believe how amazing your pumpkins came out. Even if I had a stencil, I couldn't fo that :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! All it takes is a good stencil and a tiny knife. Oh and a LOT of patience :)
DeleteAwesome job on your pumpkins, Lisa! My favorite part of Halloween is the seasonal beers too! Lately my husband and I have been addicted to hard ciders. Crispin and Strongbow are our favorites.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll have to try Crispin - Strongbow is delicious. Thanks for the suggestion!! :)
