Halloweeeen!

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. I don't know why, maybe because of all of the seriousness of being an adult, it is nice to do something different and non-serious.

People in my neighborhood are really into it too. Every year the mansions of Hancock Park become haunted houses and safe havens for the trick or treaters. They really go all out and probably spend thousands of dollars in decorations, just for this holiday. I think they spend more on this holiday than Christmas. Next year I hope to have pictures.

I was excited this year because I was home early enough to give candy to the trick or treaters.

By far the biggest pumpkin racket is the pumpkin patch on Fairfax and Third across from the Farmer's Market. I saw pumpkins for $30. I did not end up paying that much, but more than I thought I should. The picture above are the pumpkins my friends and I carved, before having homemade pumpkin pie. I guess we were really into pumpkin slaughter.

The highlight of my night was doing a Skype call with Evan in his Batman costume. He was really into it, which was really cute. He showed me his wings, ran around and with the help of his father flew through the air. It is great to be able to call via Skype. I get to see Evan on the weekends for free.


Asher and I went to a friend's party. Here are our costumes. Last year we were Cleopatra and a Transformer, this year an old school rapper and the Bride of Frankenstien. I spent a lot of time teasing my hair. Maybe next year we will do a couples costume.
