Halloweenies!

The month of October is super busy for Jeremy because of marching band (they made it to the state finals!). Sometimes it's hard to find time to do anything but sleep, eat and work. However, he managed to find some time to celebrate Halloween with me. 

Mom sent us a link for easy, Halloween desserts. We tried out the oozing eyeballs and the graveyard.  I think we could have used some red, blood-shot eye gel, but I didn't feel like buying it. Maybe once we have kids.

Then the most frighteningly delicious thing...50 cent corn dogs (halloweenies, as Jeremy says) at the Sonic! One day only, October 31st! We had to go enjoy an evening at the Sonic drive-in. Jeremy felt like he was at the fair with all of his fried-up, goodness...cheese stix, corn dogs, pickle Os, and a slush! We lived it up and then headed home to hand out candy and listen to Halloween music (thanks to Pandora Radio...we love it). We had quite a few trick or treaters and all of our candy was gone by 8:30! We had several of our students come by, and whenever Jeremy would comment on their costumes they seemed to puff up like little peacocks...so cute.  It was a really fun time (this was our first Halloween to hand out candy together since we've been married. Normally Jeremy is out of town with the band). After the candy was gone, we settled in to watch Gremlins! We can't go much scarier than that or I won't be able to sleep. Plus, what's scarier than Christmas celebrations being attacked by mutant creatures! Yikes!

  1. Sounds like the perfect Halloween evening! I have American Horror Story DVRed but the first episode was so scary I am not sure I will be able to watch it. And it is a tv show, so I know what you mean Rachel about things being too scary to handle!

  2. I saw a few trick or treaters at the beach town where I work (Palavas) and a few in Montpellier. They were cute, but nobody rang at our apartment. Oh well! Interesting to see that it is becoming more popular in France. Glad you two had a nice night. I feel like watching Gremlins now!
