I cannot wait for the Hawks 5K to be back in his original format. It's just the Best day!
2. Favorite Halloween Tradition
We actually build a spooky walk with our next door neighbors that connects our two houses. It had music, spider webs and all kinds of spooky things. We are a neighborhood destination for a lot of people.
Running Daddy and our neighbor were talking and planning for this year a couple of days ago. We think we can do this safely this year with it being one way in and one way out. We have plenty of time this year because we are all home to figure this out and decorate.
3) What Will Halloween Look Like for Your Family This Year?
It's on a Saturday this year so hopefully we can have a really fun day. We will set up the Spooky Walk and hopefully all my little princesses and superheros will come see me safely this year. Hopefully Hockey Guy will have a friend over again this year. I am all ok with older kids trick or treating as most of them are polite.
As far as giving out candy, my neighbor and I were batting around ideas. Maybe hand out full size bars or treat bags so that little hands are not in the same bowl. Tongs may also be a good idea. These are crazy times we live in Besties! Feel free to leave any other Good ideas you may have for trick or treating safely in the comments below.
4) Share Your Favorite Fall Recipe
Not only is my Butternut Squash and Pear Soup recipe is not only one my Best fall recipes, it is only of my Best recipes in general. Once you put pear in your butternut squash soup, you will never use apple again. The pear adds a sweetness and interest that cannot be matched.
I am also wearing these camo joggerings almost every evening when I am finished working and then also pull them on in the morning if it is chilly when I drink my coffee. They come in a bunch of colors as well as solids and are maybe the softest sweatpants I have ever owned.
I have also been wearing these Bearpaw Bliss slippers pretty much every waking hour when I am at my house. I so love the purple color, it is a lavender tone, but they come in other colors. You can see my camo joggers here with my Bliss slippers. You can bet the name is totally appropriate for these slippers.
I also love a Good accessory and the Dove collection from Stella & Dot is perfect for these fall casual days.
6) Favorite Halloween Costume
Always my four year old Woody the Cowboy. Nothing was cuter. That year we went to Disney for the first time and attended Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. He insisted on wearing his Mickey Mouse ears that night instead of his cowboy hat.
He was such a hit at that event one of the cast members even asked him for his autograph. That is the photo above.
7) Favorite Halloween Candy
I have a tendency to over buy in the Halloween candy department. Running Daddy thinks the only options should involve chocolate but as the person who has stayed at the house for many years, I know things like Twizzlers and Nerds are always a big hit. I like mix up the chocolate and fruity candy offerings
With the pandemic this year we may give out full size bars but I am also thinking about doing treat bags. I am open to any ideas that you have for safe treat options.
As far as my personal favorite, I am a Milky Way or Reese's gal.
8) Favorite Family Halloween Movie
We are all about the Great Pumpkin in our house and even own a copy of it.
9) Scary Movies? Yes or NO
I am kind of into scary movies. The boys love to talk about a scary movie and funny scary movie commercials. I like a Good 80's horror movie, especially something well done like The Omen. I think for me personally, I like things like a thriller Better than flat out horror movies.
10) Favorite Fall Beverage?
I do like a hard cider because I am gluten free. I also love a hot apple cider both straight and spiked.
Yesterday Hockey Guy and I had our first fall Starbuck's yesterday. He was going to have a caramel apple cider but they didn't have any apple juice so he just had two cake pops instead. I had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season--decaf, one pump, no whip and it was heaven.
I think Holly and I are so ready to usher in fall and Halloween! We hope that you will answer the questions and link up with us below.
Happy fall and I will see you back here tomorrow for Friday Favorites.
What a fun Halloween tradition and creative ways to hand out candy this year. Thanks for the link up!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your spooky walk- how fun! It must be fun to see how the littles react too! Also love Woody- how fast time flies right? Happy Fall my Friend!
ReplyDeleteSharing your love of The Great Pumpkin and Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Love the idea of your Spooky Walk, and yes, this Halloween will certainly be different. I only have two trick or treaters, the little boys from down the street, so I'm thinking gift bags might be a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI am curious to see if trick or treating can happen this year and how it might work. I'm intrigued by the tongs to hand out candy thought... Also, I make a butternut squash soup with pear and it really is so good!
