Halloween Brunch

A drool-worthy Halloween brunch to get you in the spirit this morning. Do you get really into Halloween, or not so much? Before having kids I really hadn’t done anything to celebrate since my early 20s…It is much more fun now that I have 2 little ones to dress up!

I am not sure yet if we will be dressing up tonight. A lot of NJ towns have rescheduled Halloween for Friday evening due to all of the storm damage.

Halloween

Rex is going as Elvis! What are your kids dressing up as?

My Halloween Pirates

How was your Halloween?

We spent a fun evening with my MIL. John was working so it was great to have another adult to go trick or treating with. Rex was not happy about wearing the boots and hat, he prefered to just carry the hat around with him. We visited 3 houses in my MIL’s neighborhood, and then helped her hand out candy the rest of the evening.

Isn’t it way more fun to dress little kids up?

The darling pirate costumes were courtesy of Halloweencostumes.com.

Halloween Fun Food!

Just 2 of my favorite Halloween treats from agoisfoto.com. I also LOVE the hot dog ideas but not a fan of hot dogs!

Halloween Desserts

Do you have a favorite Halloween dessert? I thought this was super clever…the kiwi looks like a really gory eyeball…so funny! Maybe for older kids. I don’t think my toddlers would have a clue

Halloween sneak peak!

Our costumes arrived today. I think that I am waaay more excited than anyone else! Anyway, Harper & Rexford are both being pirates. I am taking advantage of dressing them up as a pair while they are little! (it was actually Harper’s idea to be a pirate.)

Anyway, these outfits are too cute. Rex wasn’t interested in the dress rehearsal- I’ll post pics of them together on Halloween. Both costumes are from Halloweencostumes.com (& they are just darling I might add!)

Today is the last day to enter to win a $30 Gift Card for your little one’s Halloween Costume.

What are you kids being for Halloween?

P.S. last year my little pumpkins were Raggedy Anne & Andy.

Halloween cupcake wrappers

i cannot believe it is October 1. i remember grocery shopping at the end of August and laughing to myself- they had already put the Halloween candy out! if this month goes by as quickly as September did, i will be running to the grocery store in a mad dash on Halloween and thinking “hmmm, maybe buying Halloween candy in August would have been a good idea!”

i have to be honest…i really don’t get that into Halloween. i have never hosted a party and haven’t dressed up since college. but these Halloween cupcake wrappers are so incredibly cute they make me want to have a party!

do you host or attend a yearly Halloween party? are you making anything special? have you thought of a costume yet? i can’t wait to dress up the kids…they are going to match!
