Halloween 2020

 

 

 

Put out some Halloween decorations this year...I guess in 2020 I'm turning into one of those people that decorate their lawns.

 

 

Julie made this terrifying scarecrow. We had a lot of fun putting it together.

 

 

Seriously the head of this thing gave me the heebie jeebies!

 

 

 

 

I also made some Halloween cookies. I learned 2 things: 1) I hate making sugar cookies, and don't particularly love the taste of them 2) Coconut oil is not a good substitute for shortening unless you want icing that tastes very strongly of coconut.

 

 

I forced our weekly movie group to watch a mildly scary vampire movie for Halloween.  Needless to say, it was not a hit. But I liked it, I thought it was a bit fun.

 

We also had 3 trick-or-treaters this year. I think Julie was hoping there was way more. I'm surprised we got that many with COVID restrictions. (Kids were able to gather the candy from a sanitized bowl at a distance.)  

Overall, Halloween was fun this year, I saw some cool costumes, but I did miss dressing up myself.  Unfortunately, no reason to dress up this year.  But I suppose I saved some money on costumes, so there is that, I guess! :)
