Halloween! And Happy November!

Wow, it's already November!!  Crazy. I hope you guys had a great Halloween!!  Ours was great, but we didn't get quite as many trick-or-treaters as usual! We think that was partially because Halloween was on a Tuesday so people just weren't out for as long, and also because our street was totally under construction (they were working at re-paving our street, but were only at the part where they had removed the original pavement... so the street was really messed up), and there were huge construction vehicles parked on our street... so it probably looked kinda unwelcoming?  Just a theory.  We sat outside with our neighbors though, and we had a few beers and chatted, and we still probably had around 15 trick-or-treaters. We told each of them to grab a big handful of candy, and we still had lots leftover!  After it was pretty clear that the trick-or-treaters were done for the evening, we went inside and watched Hocus Pocus (again!), and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

We carved pumpkins the day before Halloween, and I looooove how Kevin's pumpkin turned out!!  His pumpkin had this amazing dent on one side of it, and he fully took advantage of it for the carving and it just looked amazing.

Our pumpkins!!  Mine is the smaller round one and McGee's is the taller one with the cool dents on its face. Isn't McGee's awesome?!  It looks like he has cheekbones! 

Our pumpkins! 

Our front window!  Our bushes under our window need trimming... haha.  They are getting way too tall and cover part of the decorations! There are blue bat lights in the window too, so it looked fun once it got dark (but the pictures weren't good...). 

Our front door! 

I found these packed with the window decorations!  These are some fun cards and gift bags I've saved that look super cool for Halloween.  I usually put them out with the rest of the decorations, but they were hiding with the window decorations this year! 

The weekend before Halloween we went to a local brewery we'd been wanting to try!  It was a really cute little place, and the beers were good! It's called Locust Lane. They had an awesome bar, and you could see through a window to the brewing area. They also had some huge TVs, so we watched some football while we were there!  And they usually have food trucks set up outside, but it was raining SO hard and it was really gross outside, so the food trucks stayed home.

This was their Oktoberfest beer - It was my favorite!  And you can see the awesome live-edge bar! 

Our sampler! 

That was about it for the weekend before Halloween!  We also spent a ton of time cleaning our house because it had been awhile since we'd had a lot of time to focus on deep-cleaning and house projects.  I hope you all had a great Halloween, and are having a good November so far!
