Happy Halloween!

I didn't have a post planned today, but after seeing so many fun Halloween ones in reader I decided to add one.  We didn't do anything for Halloween this year - hopefully we'll pass out candy tonight, if parents decide to bring their kids out in the 30 degree temperatures they're forecasting.  Sure feels like December in Boston today. 

It's a little sad we basically skipped the holiday this year - I grew up in Salem, MA!  But maybe we were still getting over last year.  We went all out with our costumes for a The Devil's Chase road race in Salem.  Spent weeks planning and searching for the right elements, spray painted a ukulele gold, searched for the perfect color blue sweat pants, all to run 6.66 miles!

Matt has devil horns in his John Deere hat! Can you guess what I am?

Can you guess the "Devil" Matt dressed up as?

Here's another hint!

An avatar - I figured it'd make me run faster, and it did ;-)

Did you dress up this year? - How long did it take you to put your costume together? A quick trip to the store? or weeks of handmade planning?

What I'm Pinning - Autumn Decor

I've had autumn on my mind lately, the beautiful colors of the season, and the excitement of Halloween.  I usually don't decorate very much if at all for holiday's in my tiny little apartment.  This year I did small things - I bought a Thankful scented candle from Yankee Candle and I painted a pumpkin with chalkboard paint!
I have seen some great things on Pinterest lately and with all the blogs featuring favorite pins I thought I'd try it out this week.  These are some of my favorite fall decor ideas:

Support Our Troops : Armed Forces Day

With all of the things going on in the world today both within our country and outside our boarders it's very important to remember to thank your troops.  Many people are still overseas either on military service or providing aid to victims of the multitude of natural disasters this year.  And don't forget our troops on the home front aiding flood victims and protecting our country from within.

Tomorrow is National Armed Forces Day.  Show your support by simply saying Thank You.

I especially thank my cousin Marc, who is serving in Afghanistan.

I also thank the wives, husbands, children, family and friends of our troops for lending the United States your loved ones.

Thank You.
