Halloween wrap up

by Kyla Roma on November 2, 2009

in Her Life, Little House on the Prairie, Prairie Style, Stories About:

Old Timey Ky

On Halloween, friends came over for a Moustaches & Movies party…

Beware!

…Mister knocked himself out with setting up a stellar graveyard in the front…

cupcakes in progress

…cupcakes were made while I tweeted & whisked…

Edward & Bella

…and I made Twilight pumpkins that awed and horrified the neighbourhood.

I’d say that’s a successful Halloween!

That’s all I’ve got for you for now, but I hope your Halloween was a happy one- and good luck to all the NaMoWeWriMoFoSho participants! I’m going to be here my normal 2 – 3 times a week and not a moment more. I’m easily frustrated and if I was in NaNoMi…SoLaTiDo I would end up deleting my whole corner of the internet in a fit of rage.

Don’t forget me when you’re up to your eyes in posts? <3

You. Made. Twilight. Pumpkins. TWILIGHT. You’re obviously too talented. I’m not a huge Twilight fan, but those are just amazing. Woman, you’re too crafty. I can’t close my mouth right now. I’m in shock.

First things first: you are my hero for creating Twilight pumpkins.

Second: Mustache and movies party? I LOVE it. Our Halloween was pretty quiet, but I may steal that Idea for next year!

Third: I’m glad I’m not the only one not attempting this Nablowhatchamacallit business.

And no, I’m not doing NaBlahblahblah either this year.

You just made me remember that I have some mustaches lying around the house … and we could’ve worn some and pretended we like Halloween. hahaha. Love your photos and it sounds like you had a great time!

I showed the pictures of your pumpkins from twitter to my friends/family on Saturday and they were UBER impressed. As am I. I pretty much love them. Next year, I’m looking to you for my carving/crafty inspiration.

I’m attempting NaBloPoMo (no way can I do NaNoWriMo and write a novel!) but I already have a feeling I will not make it because I forgot about my vacation this month =) And as we all know, computers aren’t allowed on vacation!

Those pumpkins are just so perfect! That’s some talent you’ve got there, miss. You also look remarkably good with a moustache, how can that be? Most men can’t even carry one off!

I love your Twilight pumpkins! Sounds like a fun evening with friends. I love the friends you can just be absolutely silly with, aren’t those some of the greatest evenings? I am not attempting either of the Nov writing ventures. I’ll be lucky to keep up with my reader.

Ugh NaBloMoFo. I did it for like two years and then last year I started and lasted a few days. SO OVER IT.

I’m scared for my reader though. Not going to lie!

Okay, those pumpkins are fantastic! I love carving and even though I’m not a Twilight fan, I appreciate the skill for sure! Oh and your little moustache is great!

As for NaBoLiTaDiWa or whatever it’s called, yeah, I won’t be participating. I tried last year, got to about mid-November and tanked. Too much to do with Thanksgiving coming up.

I am super impressed by your pumpkins! Also, love the mustaches :) You should totally play the mustache game- you stick the mustache on your tv and get different amounts of points depending on if it lands on a person’s face, or a car, or an animal lol

I’m not sure I believe you really made those pumpkins. I think we should go out and buy some more (cause they’ll totally be on sale now, yo) and you can demonstrate in front of me.
It would make for an awesome vlog wouldn’t it?
:P

Ah thanks for the sweet comment! :) Your Halloween pictures are too cute. I totally think you can run even in Canada! I know a lot of people who run up there and though it’s a little different than where I live they still can run often! :) Anyways, thanks and you are too cute. Now I will be lurking your site as well.
