Halloween 2015: What We Wore

This was our family Halloween get-up this year:

Can you guess what we were?!

What does a kid baseball player,

lifeguard,

dog,

and a baseball have in common?

Yep, you got it!! We went as The Sandlot characters!!!

FOR. EV. VER.

My Hubs was Squints, I was Wendy Peffercorn, my little girl was "The Beast" /Hercules, and my baby boy was the infamous baseball autographed by none other than the the sultan of swat! The king of crash! The colossus of clout! The colossus of clout! BABE RUTH! THE GREAT BAMBINO!





Heaven's slice is your favourite movie.

I'm cheating...

I still have some editing tweaks on some posts, so to fulfill my weekly post quota and in the event of Halloween here's a throwback link to last year's Halloween post:

Enjoy and stay tuned for this year's Halloween post!



Heaven's slice is most definitely Octobers.

Trick or Treat

I was so excited for this Halloween since my little one's walking around now and would get to go trick or treating for the first time! I was also excited to make good use of our dirt lawn as my hubs (I DID help a little) put up our homemade tombstones.

We get a LOT of trick or treaters; at some points you just have to leave your door open, as there's no point shutting it when you have to shut it in the next groups face (rude). 

My daughter was pretty serious most of the night, but she never got scared thank goodness! I think she was just soaking everything in as to why all these mini-adults were dressed up so weird. I'd been preparing her for the candy all week by giving her a bit of chocolate everyday (GREAT parenting I know), so that her body could adjust well to what the potential sugar overdose would do to her on halloween. (she DID go to bed somewhat close to her bedtime very willingly, though she was ready for the day again come an hour and a half later...).

Of course another reason for my elation was our family theme'd costumes, but most especially hers! I only get to dress her how I want for just a few precious years before she gets her own opinion, so I thought I'd better get an ewok checked off the list!

And a retro one from last year

Heaven's slice is embracing the holidays.

Autumn

So Fall is actually my favourite season (don't tell Summer!!!) and here is why:

1) Memories of going back to school - marking a new year, a fresh start. 

2) Leaves changing colour - so crazy beautiful! 

3) Weather wise it's the unicorn to my world of horses - I love horses Summer, there's no snow and no cold and though Summer may be really crazy short lived some years, you know that every year there will be a Summer; it's fact. BUT unicorns Fall is that season you so want to believe exsists, but due to it not being an every year occurrence (at least where I live) it's more fiction than non. Unicorns and Fall are both built up in the magical world of imagination, the place in which I feel like I live part-time in.

4) The food! With not 1, but 2 holidays involving delicious food is just perfection - Pumpkin pie, yams, leftover turkey sandwiches, CHOCOLATE/CANDY, spooky looking appetizers etc.!









5) Halloween. This shouldn't need any explaining, but since a lot of adults are party poopers with this holiday I will justify myself - Um hello, COSTUMES! You get to dress up in a fun, funny, cool, crazy way without ANY judgement from others. And you get to judge others' costumes.Wait... There's usually some fun gathering to go to or an opportunity to eat hand out candy!! Tiny chocolate bars you can eat a ton of guilt-free because of how little they are. Seriously all you adults just need to grow up dress up so it's more socially acceptable for me to continue dressing up!

6) Pumpkins! I usually don't carve mine, I just leave them as decoration to freeze and rot outside. But I love looking at them!!

7) The fashion! Leggings, boots, sweaters, head warmers. I love how comfy will always be the style for Fall.

8) Fleece sheets get to come back on my bed! (watch for a post about this later)

9) It's not as sunny and bright in the early morning, making me feel guilty for sleeping in.

10) I no longer have to stress over the fact that I don't have a tan. 

Heaven's slice is the season that is upon us... and dressing up!
