Happy Halloween!

This year’s pumpkins were phenomenal compared to last year’s (in which we didn’t carve pumpkins…). We gutted them on Sunday.

AND THEN Trevor and I both broke the little pumpkin carving knives and I gave up on my “No Bad Days” palm tree jack-o-lantern.

Trevor on the other hand was a connoisseur with the x-acto knife. His tiki guy came out perfect!

I was a little jealous… Oh, well. I painted a (semi) chevron pumpkin. This holiday has a way with sneaking up on us… Hence, the second part of this blog, our costumes. A month ago while I was searching Pinterest, I found a photo of some Disney Princesses.. but as hipsters. So, the night before, we decided to head to Ala Moana to see if we could pull this off.
And I think we did!

We lagged again this year. Even though China Town was evacuated Saturday night due to the tsunami warning AND the fact that Halloween landed on a Wednesday, we managed to make it out of the house at least. I plan on spending ONE Halloween in China Town… And I’ve got 3 more years to make it happen…

Groceries and Holiday Spirit

Extremely interested in becoming vegan. Taking small steps. We’re still eating turkey. And drinking 2%. I’ll get there :)
Grocery shopping at the Commissary gets you:

Also, T’s birthday is in a week. He would like me to make chocolate chip muffins into a cake.

*I’ve also been doing Hot Yoga. I LOVE IT!

We bought 3 pumpkins from Safeway too.

I wanted to paint one of them chevron and then the other two we’d carve.

Over the weekend, we had TONS of vog (volcanic fog). I think it gave T a headache. My eyes were a little irritated.

And last night, we went to Ben Franklin for craft supplies. I bought orange, purple, and black paper. I created a template for the garland and bat and spent my time cutting it all out and hanging it up :)
