Boo-ritos!!

Instead of carving pumpkins this year I decided to make a ghost lantern thingy. I copied it from my first-cousin-once removed's (my dad's cousin) blog. I thought it was totally cute and I already had all of the supplies. So Evan and I made it for Family Night one night. (well Evan studied while I made it, but we were in the same room, so I'm counting that)

Since I work with youth we had a "Harvest Festival" a.k.a Halloween party for the kiddos. So I had a great excuse to dress up. I'm a treasure troll, like the little dolls you played with when you were young. Most of the kids didn't know who I was, but they thought my hair was cool. I showed some of them a picture of what a treasure troll looks like, and one replied, "oh my mom has one of those." That made me feel kinda old. Oh, well it was fun.

Another picture after work, when Evan was home. At the Harvest Festival the kids voted for one of the staff members to get a pie in the face and none other than yours truly was nominated. I'm still trying to figure out if that means the kids hate me or love me. (maybe a little of both) It didn't really bother me, especially because both of the kids that threw the pie totally missed, sorta anti-climatic.

On Halloween night Evan and I dressed up as "boo-ritos" in order to score some free burritos from Chipotle. Their burritos are so yummy. I love their corn salsa. I was pleasantly surprised we weren't the only cheapskates there. Tons of people were dressed in tin foil. Although, our costumes were honestly the best.

Not the most flattering outfits, but the lettuce is cute, right?

After our trip to Chipotle we decorated ghost lollipops and waited for Trick-or-treaters, but none showed. Good thing I didn't go out and buy a ton of candy.

(Notice the lollipop in the back dressed as a troll...he he)

Evan's ghosts are a tad bit scarier than mine!

November 1st we had some friends over, the Andersons and the Wingets, for diner. My mom sent me some cute Halloween napkins, napkin rings and a table cloth so I had to put them to good use. I used Siri Henderson's grilled pineapple receipe and it was awesome, grilled pineapple is the best!
