Weekend Highlights: Halloween Edition!

This weekend was so much fun I could hardly stand it, but I didn’t expect anything less. It is no secret that I have a pretty serious love affair with Halloween and really enjoy dolling up for the festivities. Saturday night we had the annual AgencyNet Halloween party in their new digs. I finally unveiled my secret costume that I had been concealing for several months now – Maleficent! Thanks to the Academy of Glam, I was able to really perfect the look with some kick ass makeup. All other pieces were picked up randomly through Amazon stores and American Apparel. I’m really happy with the way the costume turned out and it was a little too fun to be evil for a night. Although, I have to admit that perfecting a villainous bitch face was tough!

After recovering from one hell of an excellent party, we attempted to make the most of our Halloween night. We visited my nephew and joined them at a family’s haunted house. It was all fun and games, but unfortunately, we were just too pooped to really function and decided to make it an early night. We didn’t expect to come home as early as we did, and were surprised when we saw our neighborhood swarming with little ones trick or treating. I immediately panicked because we had no candy in the house and what we did next, I am not proud of. We blocked the entrance to our house with our cars and turned off all our house lights. We were basically sitting in the dark watching TV quietly when the knocks began. I could not believe we were still getting trick or treaters despite our obvious “stay away” cues. These kids are serious! I felt absolutely terrible and hope my neighbors do not think we are the equivalent of the Christmas grinch. Oops!

How did all of you spend your Halloween weekend?
