No Tricks, Just Treats

Currently...

Celebrating my second favorite holiday. Happy Halloween! How cute is Klifford in his costume? He really loved hamming howling it up for the camera on that pumpkin. Big thanks to my mom for buying this for my little werewolf.

Decorating anything and everything fall with a hint of Halloween. Lots of candy corn garland and fluffing flower poms happening over here. I can't help myself. I'm sure Tad already can't wait for the next season. Who's excited for all of the festive decor to go on sale tomorrow? Me.

Sad that our pretty pumpkin might not make it to Halloween night. It is burnt out. Literally. For some reason Tad thought it would be the perfect night light. No joke. It never even saw the light of day, just our room. Sigh. Poor little pumpkin.

A Pumpkin Carving Party For Two

We carved our pumpkin this weekend and it was definitely a success! We don't always have the best luck with carving so I'm glad it is documented we got this right. We think it's a pretty rad design and are just thankful we didn't cut the stencil out backwards again. Hooray. Hope you enjoy this little video of us working our magic on this jack-o'-lantern. This is sort of our first "home" video so you will definitely be tired of our faces by the end!

A Kitok Date Night

Obviously we take ourselves very seriously. Only not really. How about that last picture? Tad captured the spirit of a girl embracing the cold front and winds that came in last night. It's about time, Texas. 

Now back to dinner. One thing we take very seriously is a good burger. Kitok Restaurant is where it's at. Definitely one of our favorite burger joints in Waco. I ordered the double-liplocker burger with cheese and Tad ordered the egg burger. We don't mess around. Let's not forget their addicting oriental fries. They keep us coming back. If you haven't been to this sleeper restaurant, what are you waiting for? Great food and the cozy atmosphere feels like home, gas space heaters and all. Yes, I grew up with a space heater and they really are amazing.

This date night was long overdue and I'm so thankful the hubby had time to come and eat a burger with me. Something tells me he'll always make time for that!

A Halloween Treat

'Tis the season of the witch or shall I say King Kong? I was out and about with my sister and mom in Temple on Sunday and we came across the most amazing Halloween spirit in the world. Yes, in the world. This local artist creates a Halloween display in his front yard every year and this year he did not disappoint. If you can't tell, we had a field day with the pictures. We loved looking at everything up close and personal. No detail unnoticed! We were simply in awe. Did I mention he made this out of leftover scraps and trash?  He is my Halloween hero. Tad, please take notes.
