Yesterday was the first time I have ever made chili myself. It was a success. Started it at 8 in the morning and ate it twelve hours later after my shift ended. After dinner, we made Andrew's mask for Halloween. He's going to be the phantom. Now normally, one would be able to simply buy a mask. I'd like to say that I'm just a bad-ass so I just whipped out my crafts and decided to make one for the hell of it. Andrew, however, has a huge head and there isn't a mask on the planet (that we found anyway) to fit his head. In any case, the first phase went well, I think. Today we will sand it down then paint it to make it nice and glossy.
Before that we are LOOKING FOR PUMPKINS! My parents have always carved pumpkins. We have been collecting patterns for years and pumpkin carving is an epic event in my house. We won't actually carve them until next weekend so they still look nice for Halloween night. I'm very excited, too, because at work they have a yearly carving contest and my department has agreed to let me carve it. I think nobody else wants to take the time. That's fine. I love doing it.
As far as decorating goes for Halloween, we have made a fake guy to sit on the front porch. Overalls, a long sleeved shirt and the creepiest mask I have seen. We have a skeleton that died in a dungeon and lots of faces coming at you from trees, the garage, and the house. Logan got to help by putting up window clings. I freaking love Halloween. What I love even more is that I am creating traditions with my family. Andrew and I are both bringing our familial holiday traditions to our new family and loving it.
I am constantly astounded at what we are creating as a life for ourselves. I love what we do and how we do it. Yeah, I know. That was super vague. Sorry. I guess I don't want this post to be about that. I just wanted to say that I am very happy with everything in my life. More to come!!
