this was halloween, this was halloween

halloween for us has been a pretty low-key holiday the last few years, and 2022 was no exception.  the bean did make an effort and wore a costume to school, though.  they've known that they wanted to dress as encanto's mirabel for months, like ever since they got their hair cut.

as for me, this was what i wore for the day - since the first day of the mcrib's return was more important.

after i picked the bean up from school, we stopped at home so they could change out of the costume, put out a bowl of candy for the four trick-or-treaters we'd get and then we decided to head out to grab some burritos from an old favorite spot.  



this sign has been up for months. their sauce is kind of a big deal.


no worries, though.  that ground beef burrito is still mighty tasty without it.

on the way home, we stopped at the bean's favorite boba spot for a drink:



and that was our halloween.  the very next day, we put away the few spooky decorations we'd dragged out and pulled out something much more festive:


and since i don't have much more than this photo to share from the bean's very first homecoming dance, i'm just gonna drop this here:


i adore this outfit.  and even better, we cobbled it together a few days before with a trip to nordstrom rack, kohl's and the fabric store for the velvet i used to make those pants.  score!
