Halloween Countdown Day 1: Halloween Party!

Yay! The day is here! Halloween! I've got to admit, though, this year I got all my halloween celebrating out before it was actually October 31st. This countdown definitely helped. I'm ready for thanksgiving! haha. I didn't do much today, because I woke up not feeling too well and ended up just hanging out online while stewie was at work. It's 8 pm and I just now showered. This is going to be a quick post cause now I just want to curl up with my handsome boyfriend and drink tea and watch friends. I love lazy sundays.

Halloween Countdown Day 2: Frightful Food!

I know, I know... this should have been posted yesterday. I'm sorry. I can explain! Stewart and I went to a halloween/birthday party on friday night, and were up super late. So, we woke up pretty late yesterday (saturday), and after getting showered and looking up a few things online we went straight out grocery shopping for this food post. When we got home I literally cooked for the rest of the day- it was dark out by the time everything was finally done. Stew and I quickly ate and then I spent the next 2 hours finishing my costume! I was planning on at least posting a few pictures on here before going off to a second halloween/birthday party, but before I knew it it was 10pm, I was rubbing green glitter glue all over myself, and two of our friends were there to pick us up and take us to the party! By the time we got home at like 3:30 am, I was too exhausted to even think about doing a whole post.

I think I can make up for it, though, because not only are there now going to be two posts today, I personally feel like this post should rightfully be split into 3 different posts, because it's so jam-packed full of awesomeness and delicious recipes.

Let's not waste anymore time and just get straight to my halloween-themed treats!

Halloween Countdown Day 3: So Now You Have a Pumpkin.

You may be asking yourself, "What now?"

Well fear not, I'm here to guide you through a painless, stress-free pumpkin experience.

lol.

Pumpkins are so versatile, aren't they? Bake them into pies and breads, roast them with butter, blend them up into a soup, and of course carve strange faces into them and set them on your porch.

I wish I had time to go through all the different things one could do with a pumpkin, but that would take waaaay more than one post. Today, I'll just be going over the use that everyone is probably seeing the most of these days: pumpkin carving.

Halloween Countdown Day 4: Creepy Cocktails!

  Whaaat? But I thought today was the pumpkin post...

Yeah, it was, and I was pretty darned excited for that post. Unfortunately Stewart had to go and go to work on me, and it's not like I can carve these pumpkins up myself... so that's going to have to wait for tomorrow. Oh well. That just means that for now I can give you some super cool drink recipes!

Halloween Countdown Day 5: Creative Costumes!

So, you may have gathered from the title that this is the first day of a Halloween countdown. If you've been reading this blog, you've probably noticed that I LOVE holidays. I also love countdowns, like the one I made for St. Patrick's Day earlier this year (and yes, each word is a different post). My FAVORITE holiday of ALL TIME, however, is the one happening this Sunday... Halloween!

It's funny because when I was a kid I'm sure my favorite holiday was something more like Christmas, where you get to wake up early and open presents and drink lots of hot chocolate. Halloween was less exciting, since I usually had to go to school that day and all you really do as a kid is dress up and go get a ton of candy. Now that I have the ability to be more creative with my Halloweens though, I can't get enough of them!
