This year I worried was going to be quite different though. This pregnancy has made me exhausted and by about 5pm, I'm done and just want to go to bed. Not to mention that my hip pain makes it difficult, at best, to walk.
I typically plan out a Halloween themed dinner for Halloween night. One year I did hotdogs wrapped in bread dough in the shape of mummies and green colored mashed potatoes. The next year I did taco salads that looked like zombies. I love the creative nature of Halloween.
This year at about 4pm on tonight, I realized that I hadn't planned ANYTHING for dinner! How could I have forgotten?? I was so upset... Bryce talked me into getting a pumpkin shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and we got a red V8 Splash that was our "blood". It turned out to be a fun and easy dinner for this tired momma.
This year Coen wanted to be a superhero. Not just a superhero, but an Avenger! Not just an Avenger, but Hawkeye... Did you know that this is by far the most difficult costume to find for a 7 year old??? It was a joke! But alas, I did find it and he was quite happy.
The weather this year was epic! It was absolutely perfect. I couldn't have asked for better weather. Bryce is working nights so we decided to go out at about 5:30pm to do our trick or treating. Coen is at that perfect age where we have to go with him, but he doesn't need to be escorted to the door and we don't really have to leave the sidewalk! He loved it! I'm still in that mode where I like spending holidays with just us, so we didn't go with friends or anything. Just the 4 of us! (so fun still that Coen doesn't know! Bryce and I love keeping this secret even though each day gets more and more difficult)
I was highly impressed with my hip! I was able to make it through all of our trick or treating with out any pain really! It started to ache at the end, but not a lot which was nice cuz we still had to walk home and that was about 3 blocks. Coen got an amazing haul of candy and none of it was crap that needed to just be thrown away!!
Happy Halloween!!
