October Photo Dump...

Usually there would be a Halloween blog, but this year it just seems Halloween isn't really happening.  Super bums me out, but I guess some years things just don't work out.  We're having construction done on our condos, so no decorating outside and it just seems the usual stuff just wasn't in the cards this year.  But none the less - October!

 

I did catch some decor around!

In our complex

Well done neighbors

Chris always does the cutest photo booth

We didn't decorate outside, but we did inside!

Passed a cool Beetlejuice House!

The Rhodes had us over for dinner one night!  Such a cute set up!

Their insane Halloween Village

They decorate like my mom!

Poe met Willy who promptly wore him out

Rad car at our grocery store.  Chucky is in the back!

Loved that this one little apartment decorated

At Julie's sisters house!

On Oct 30th in the evening, Pat and I took Poe on a walk around our favorite areas that decorate! Pixley Street and Palmyra Street!

Only one new dish this month...

Garlicky Chicken!  Yummy!

Bowling.  Also Pat joined Libby & Glen's Pool League so I get pics sometimes!

Striking Hornets

My balls itch too (Yes that's their team name)

 

One Saturday Owen and my dad came and gave Libby and I tips!  It was so awesome!  We're going again in a few weeks.  Owen is amazing!  Frances and Patrick joined the fun.

Tim and his "Turkey"  Our league let's you hold on to a stuffy when you get a Turkey.  I think this was like Tim's 4th one that night...

We did get to Knotts Scary Farm this year thanks to Taylor hooking us up!  That was a fun night!

Grabbing a pic before it gets dark

The Haunt Foursome!

Pat couldn't make our Temecula Wine Pick Up Day this month, but I took Julie with me on her birthday!

Pretty Fall Decor at SouthCoast Winery

Happy Birthday Jules!

Our Supper Club this month (sans Tianna) was at Julie's sisters house because they have a pizza oven!  It was so rad!!  We made different pizza's all night.  Terri made 2 desserts that cooked in the oven and I contributed a Antipasto Salad.  Such a fun night!

Julie supplied the dough

Pat's Pistachio Pesto and Honey Pizza!

The desserts - a Pazookie and Banana/Nutella Calzone!

 

Halloween this year was pretty low key.  We jetted over to the Chapman Pumpkin Contest and Pet Parade, but sadly it was actually kind of a let down.  But we did wear the cutest family costume and everyone loved it!  Then we took Poe with us to Twisted Vine for dinner.  When we came home we saw a big group trick or treating so we scurried inside to catch them.  2 kids came up to our door - I was so excited! Then we chased down the big group and handed out candy.  It seems on the main drag of our complex there's some activity - so Pat and I thought maybe next year we'll pop a squat somewhere out there with a little set up and hand out candy!  We then popped on a favorite horror movie and called it a night.

It's like a Fairy Garden!

Maria looks good as a red head!

The cutest lil garden right?!

Dinner at Twisted Vine

 

So there we are folks.  My favorite time of the year flew by. Sadly didn't do much to celebrate, with health and family drama it just wasn't in the cards this year.  But hopefully next year we'll get more Spooky Fun in!  I'm sure the next two months will fly by - seems after Halloween a fast forward button is pushed on time!  Enjoy the moments!
