our "halloween" weekend

A few weeks ago, I snapped a few photos of the apartment Halloween decor.
I figured with Thanksgiving in less than a week, I'd better post them soon or save them for next year.
We had our Halloween party the week after the actual day (decorations 50% off, huzzah!)
Luna adopted this teddy....& ate his eyeballs out. He was cute while he lasted.
I found some Halloween records & scary soundtracks at a thrift store, so cute!
(I thought I had more of our pumpkins and candles and cobwebs, and decorations but maybe not! Next year I guess.)
Max & I needed a few last minute touches to our costumes, so off to The Garment District we went.
I found the perfect dress & a really great sweater in the "pay by the pound" pile. I wasn't sure if I loved it but for $.50, I couldn't say no. I've worn it over 10 times since then. I rewarded myself for not buying heaps of clothes with one of my favorite fruits,
Don't worry, I checked with Congress.
The next night we hosted a Halloween party.
...Is that a ghost near the poisoned apples?
Above: May & Ashely (as a kitty and our friend Andrew), then me as a creepy doll. My teddy had a ribbon noose around it's neck with "blood" and stuffing coming out of the ripped patches. Cute, Alivia.
If that isn't creepy enough, he's another look:

That store sounds amazing! What a clever idea to have the party later so that you could get half price decorations. I'm thinking of shopping for Christmas decor a few days late this year and just saving them up for next year.
