happy halloween!

it's here! so very excited about this holiday this year

because we're living in a place that has fall again:

the leaves have fallen everywhere, the air is cold,

and the smell of the heater working is in our cozy little home.

over the weekend we got to work

and made tombstones for the front yard,

a scary witch silhouette for the window,

and spooky ghosts that are guarding our door.

while watching ghost busters {gets funnier every time!},

we made a batch of apple-cider doughnuts,

and had hot cocoa with homemade marshmallows...

there has been lots and lots of sugar in this house

{sort of looking forward to tomorrow when the sugar will go away until the next holiday}.

tonight we'll be passing out candy for the first time in our seven years of marriage...

i've wanted to do this every year, but it just hasn't worked out for one reason or another.

i'm trying to get my hands on a copy of this movie so we can watch

it between doorbell rings and knocks demanding tricks or treats.

we'll also be having some squash soup and trying to finish up

those apple cider doughnuts...probably while reading something poe-ish or brothers grimm-ish.

as soon as i find my camera i will

post photos of our graveyard.
