Pumpkin Shopping

   I had a very low key weekend, spent a lot of time by myself with iPhone. My new lady love. I named her "aPhone". The best thing so far is the pic taking capabilities! I wish I had taken pictures at the pumpkin sale but sadly I didn't know how to yet. I stopped at the legendary Stew Leonard's on Saturday morning for a much needed pumpkin for my front steps. Nothing says "Harvest" like Abba's "Dancing Queen" playing over the speakers as you pumpkin shop...right?

   You can't say that isn't a gorgeous pumpkin. If you do, you're a liar. The backside isn't as pretty. Just like our Christmas tree last year. Aaron worked all weekend so I went to the "patch" alone. I got looks. People judged me. I actually enjoyed it though because if pumpkin picking is anything like Christmas tree hunting with Aaron, I'd rather go alone. I was not raised with real trees. We had a fake one because of the cats and the needles and mess. My opinion doesn't count when we get to the tree farm. In this case, I doubt Aaron even noticed our proud little pumpkin...

Our horribly ugly front stoop.

Awesome door decor which now makes it impossible to know if there is a serial killer at my front door. Worth it.

   And the best door mat EVER. So now the front of our home is good to go. Now we needed costumes. I have mine picked but my sister did not, so we headed to the Halloween store.

Me- I want to stop at the Halloween store in town.

Chelsea- OK. What do they sell there? Costumes?

Me- What? What do they sell at the HALLOWEEN STORE?...

It only got worse from there so that's all I'll share. They had costumes, I got my wig cap and gloves for my costume. I also admired some of the amazing decor. One thing we both felt a little uneasy about though...the zombie babies.

This little number hung on a swing just above our heads. Terror evoking.

   Um eew. I am afraid to even look at this. A bit later we were headed to an event at a nearby high school and I took out aPhone to take a pic and this was the last photo I had shot and it came flashing up on the screen. Please note: I will be deleting it from my phone now. I don't know why people would want to be scared of these things in their own homes. That's like saying "Chucky is horrific. Let me bring him home. " Please don't.

   I also did eventually get tickets to see Lorraine Warren. It was awesome! Look her up if you don't know who she is!! So spooky and fun.

Happy Monday, kids.
