Happy Halloween, Y'all!!

As you probably already noticed, David and I are all about Halloween!  We will never be "too old" or "too cool" to dress up! This year, David was Batman (just like the previous 2 years) and I was the villain in the new movie, Bane.  We always have so much putting costumes together.  His costume, however, is always the same.  He actually had this custom made - it is movie quality.  Crazy, I know.  If you've ever heard me talk about being married to Batman, now you know why! This was my "try to be sexy" face...I should've tried harder! My mom came up and went to the annual Ghouls Gone Wild Parade.  She is a witch every day year!  HAHA just kidding mom! :) Doesn't she look just like the Wicked Witch?!?!  Her drawn on mole is just fabulous! We stopped so many freakin' times so everyone could get their picture taken with Batman (babies, kids, grown men, girls dressed as sluts, older women that flung themselves on

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn

Halloween at Work

We went all out for Halloween at work this year.  We took a trip to Dollar Tree and loaded up on decorations and then I brought all my stuff I didn't use at home.   See the Halloween Tree on the left?  I got that at a garage sale for 50 cents...score!  And the Scentsy warmer on the right is a special holiday warmer - get one here . This spider has been passed around the office many times - and has scared all of us!  You hang it above someone and when they walk under it and make a noise, it drops on them.  I think I was "gotten" twice! This is my favorite part of our decor!  I love these scary old pictures - only $1!! This was my Pinterest project from last year - so easy! 1.  Spray paint a flower pot, turn upside down and glue a glass vase to the bottom.   2.  Glue a knob to the bottom piece of the pot and use it as the lid. 3.  Add ribbon and fill with candy! Also for this year, we played "Secret Spook&
