Halloween 2022

A Dead Cowgirl it is.

 

One of the things Amelia loves about Halloween is giving out candy.  Probably because we never had trick or treaters at our house on the mountain in Alaska.  She got dressed early and waited for the treaters.

She managed to tend to a few before heading out on her own Halloween adventures.

Then it was time to count the candy!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween.  Christmas here we come!

Halloween Party

 It has been awhile since we had a Halloween get together.  

A couple of friends from school and their families made for a spectacular comeback party!  Our first in Illinois!

One of her friends and her decided on making a Joker and Harley Quinn duo. I took a few pics before the guests arrived. 

First up was a pumpkin egg hunt.

Then on to Oreo slide down the face.

Pumpkin and spooky crabapple toss...

and the infamous...Wrap the Mummy.

Spider web cotton ball throw (check Amelia's foot positioning) and Spooky bowling ended the party games. 

Food was plentiful.

Guests brought the most delicious Indian dish and snacks.  I, too, attempted my first ever Chickpea Tikka Masala.  

Lots of fun and some great story telling!  All that now was missing was Halloween Night!  Stay tuned. 

Halloween Festivities

I will admit...one reason I love Halloween is that it signals that Christmas is right around the corner.  The other reasons supply my need for creativity and love of Fall.  While Amelia loves the creative element too,  Halloween is only her third or fourth favorite holiday...lagging behind Easter and potentially Valentine's day.  Oh well. 

I will have to make a separate post on the artificial pumpkins her and I have made for the past couple years.  We decided to make it a tradition and this years came out great...yet I forgot to take proper pics of them.  Next time.  You can enjoy the real pumpkin carving instead.  A simple yet adorable design if I must say!

Last week we celebrated Halloween at her stable where she takes lessons.  You can go and look at her and Ziggy on Instagram @mguising

Take a look at the guitar on her instructor's horse, Ziggy.

Will post our Halloween Party next!
