On Wednesday last week, I started to get all in my feelings because Halloween was almost here and I didn't feel like we'd celebrated enough. And then C executed the most amazing holiday/birthday weekend and I got to do all the things I love with all the people that I love and it was basically the best Halloweekend ever.
Holy shit. These pictures were ABSOLUTELY loaded in no particular order. Let's just lump the whole weekend into a nonsensical timeline:
Pumpkin patch and an awesome selfie with the guy
Shenanigans. She asked if I could "lift me like a deer" and then right away said, "Of course you can. Pick me up!"
Ahh! Okay. So one day we went to an exhibit of Trolls: Save the Humans. It was amazing and totally worth the drive, even if some families are less in tune with the social contract than others. There's gentle parenting and then there's... whatever was happening here. But it was still an awesome time (and I was even more grateful for my own hooligans)
On the grounds there's also a huge historic mansion that was still decked out for Halloween. The pool table was a giant Oijia board!
And on another day, an old friend and I did a Mudgirl run! If you get the chance to do one of these, you totally should (even if it feels kind of scammy when you sign up) It was such a blast
RIP socks
This is the "before" After I had mud in my ears even after my shower!
Oh look! We're to Halloween now! Which I took almost no pictures of. But at one point we ended up at bars like we were children
Sydney (a shark) and her sweet friend Kate (a mermaid)
I was spoiled perfectly, including a shirt that reads "My daughter and I talk shit about you," a smut book, a crafty little ghost, and new coffee syrups. Like I said, perfect. I feel quite seen.
Averson was "The girl with the green ribbon" It was so niche and so perfectly her. Halloween Averson is one of my favorite Aversons.
Birthday donuts!
Early morning birthday gym crew. I dressed up like Winnie the Pooh and I loved it so much I almost abandoned my witch costume. We did birthday burpees and there were enough people to not make it suck, and most of my favorite gym people were there. Apparently I'm a person who goes to the gym on her birthday for the 45th trip around the sun.
I watched part of the new season of Nobody Wants This, and the main character's mother says that she prefers to spend her birthday in the energy she wants to bring into the next year. If that's how it works, I am feeling very optimistic about this next year <3
