We were spared...

the 'Halloween snowstorm' thank goodness! All over our state and up in Connecticut, trees are down and power is out - oh, and there's the foot of snow, too. I am so glad we dodged that bullet. Another good thing about living near the ocean. I am definitely not ready for snow! 

It's finally feels like Halloween to me (nothing like waiting til' last minute.) I've been feeling very disconnected from it this year, and disconnected from Fall in general. It was such a chore for me to get out the decorations and set up our spooky houses. I did it mainly because I knew my kids would have been disappointed if I hadn't. Here's a little pictorial review of what's going on here Halloween-wise today.

Halloween cupcakes are being iced:

 Here's one of Christopher's creations:

 Some misc. decor:

 That big pumpkin is about to be carved into a jack-o-lantern, the one in the foreground (created by my daughter) reminds me of that guy from Boardwalk Empire (the one with half a face) yes, no?:

 Love white pumpkins (and white, in general) these are faux:

Now I need to wrap up a few things here and head out to a 'trunk or treat' at a local church. Hope you have a Happy Halloween!

YAY for being left out of the snowstorm!! :) There is something to be said about having electricity. For not being in the "spirit" of Halloween, you sure pulled off some great decorating, Val! Love C's cupcakery and M's pumpkin is grand!
