HOLY HALLOWEEN, BATMAN! - 2019
Most people enjoy Halloween because it provides an opportunity for everyone to dress up and act silly together. If that is true, then my boys must think that every day is Halloween. You never know who they’re going to be at any given moment. Last year (2019), Emet said that he wanted to be Batman, Abner to be Robin, Calvin the Joker, and he wanted me to be Batgirl. It was a blast! We weren’t anticipating it to be as cold and windy as it was. Calvin (haha), oh Calvin, he was a good sport but his costume and makeup were somehow even more frightening and creepy than we were expecting. The cold weather made his face makeup crack and start peeling. As you can see in the photos, Emet and Abner are not quite sure what to think of him.

Each year we have a “go to” dish to help usher in all of the feels surrounding Halloween. It’s none other that Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese…
October felt a little extra special this year. I felt more settled and all cozied up in our home. Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the cool fresh air with everything seeming a bit spookier - creating special and enjoyable memories with Emet and Abner made it even better…
Saturday marked the official beginning of the fall season along with the cooler weather. It’s hard to believe that we’ve almost been back in Louisville for a full year now. I’ve been thinking about this last year and some of the wonderful memories we made just a few days after arriving in town…
I'm a fan of Halloween. Growing up it was always one of my favorites. I love that you know its approaching because the smell in the air changes and it gets a bit crisper. I love the ghosts. I love the skeletons. And I LOVE dressing up…
There’ s something about the crisp of the air that tells you Halloween is just around the corner. As the 31st inches closer, I couldn’t help but share some of our favorite “spooky” songs we enjoy…
