November is nigh
I sincerely hope that you all are hopped up on candy right now and that the candles in your jack o' lanterns are still burning but melting into a tiny puddle of wax. Any cute trick or treaters stop by? The cutest costume I heard about today was a co-worker's daughter who was dressing up as Spiderkitten. As in Spiderman, except for a kitten with spidey superpowers instead of Peter Parker. I really can't believe that October is coming to a close and it'll be November tomorrow! I'm getting excited just thinking about it (or maybe that's just the sugar) and I've already bought my first batch of holiday cards. November, the month with my favourite holiday. The lead up to Christmas and all the festivities. And the food. Let the Thanksgiving experimentation commence in earnest!
What are you looking forward to this November?

It looks like you were riding in a Halloween mask! Please say you were.
ReplyDeleteHope you and Ike had a nice Halloween--only treats, no tricks. I'm considering making reservations for Thanksgiving dinner instead of cooking. That would be a huge change.
ReplyDeleteNovember!!!! Blergh! Time to send my step-mother a check. (j/k, I do that every month and it's never a surprise :).
Still tired from trick-or-treating last night. It was raining here the whole day though, so little E only went out for a bit, and I ended up just with the middle child the whole night, getting as much candies as he could:D
ReplyDeleteHope u had a great one.
A wee Clark Kent--his bangs formed a curl on his forehead, black glasses, a wee dress shirt and jacket . . . then, his parents would say, "Josiah, who are you?" and he'd pull open his shirt (under which was a shirt with an S on it) and hold out his arms like he was ready to fly! More cuteness than I could stand . . .
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah for November! I love that you've already purchased your cards. I'm planning to do the same in the next week or so! :)
Our best costume was a pre-teen dressed as Napoleon Dynamite. The best story was of a little preschool girl, who, near the end night saw that a woman's candy bowl was nearly empty so she dumped her own Halloween Bucket out into the bowl. Now *that's* generosity!
ReplyDeleteI am planning to bake a lot more in November. I have so many recipes I want to try! Happy November to you and Ike! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so pumped for November. The first night of Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving this year (which is so rare and I don't think it will happen again for a thousand years or something) which is just exciting me to no end. Look at you on your horse! You look so teeny! xo
ReplyDeletei love november as well and all the excitement leading up to getting ready for christmas. we'll be picking out our recipes for thanksgiving and watching the sound of music. the hills are alive~~ :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to November being over. Lol. Is that bad?
ReplyDeleteyay november! november used to be my least favorite month because it was always the one where everything that could go wrong went wrong but now it's moved to september i think. so i can officially be excited about it! i am so excited to start getting excited for the thanksgiving and christmas (i am not there yet, again, its been so nice here i am still stuck in summer!! this never happens). and this fall season is moving so quickly, or maybe that's just how time feels when it isn't raining and dark constantly haha. i do know i seriously need to start getting things ready now or else i am going to be in trouble! have a great weekend friend! and ike too! xo
ReplyDeleteI'm not ready for November! I miss October already, but tally-ho I suppose...
ReplyDeleteYour holiday card purchase just freaked me out in a good way. Thanks for zapping me into productivity. You can bet I'll be making a holiday prep to-do/bucket list this afternoon. Ah!
We only got two trick-or-treaters last night and one family told us "all the action" was down the hill about 3 blocks from us. Apparently trick-or-treaters aren't fans of walking up SF's giant hills.
ReplyDeleteNovember is one of my favorite months, too, and Thanksgiving is hands down my fave holiday! This year, I'll be spending it in Mexico shooting a wedding though, so it'll be a little different than usual but definitely something I'm looking forward too. :) Happy November!
a spider kitten? isn't that sort of genius.
ReplyDeleteAh, I totally feel you. Right when November comes around I can't contain my energy for the holidays, haha.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous horse! :-) Oh, I hope November will be fun but usually I think it´s a boring month - stuck in between of beautiful October and eventful December. We´ll see I guess. :-)

oh, thanks for the reminder. I should send my christmas cards from here as postage is so much cheaper. ha, I guess to save me money wasn't the intention of your post, lol. I hope November is going to be a good month for you xxx
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Halloween! It was interesting to see the sugar high kids running around in costumes in our neighborhood this weekend. Can't believe 2013 is almost over.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if this is the best or worst time to want to get back into fitness. So much food... but maybe that's when it's most necessary.

Spiderkitten -- how creative! The best costume I saw was a minion from Despicable Me. It had a over-the-head head piece and everything. The hubs also showed me a video on Facebook where a kid in an Optimus Prime costume can actually transform into a semi. You got holiday cards already?! What show offs ;). I'm lucky if I mail them out days before Christmas.
