This Is Halloween

Halloween is a fun holiday but for the most part at this point in our lives the day is fairly normal and could easily slip by without a second thought. We are not really the kind of people to dress up and party, but we still like to celebrate. Ward halloween parties are fun, and this year was especially good since it is our first time in a family ward since forever. It was fun to see all the kids dress up and to do some trunk or treating with them (I am surprised how many adults came by for candy too...).
On Halloween night Daniel was in charge of making the Chipotle Chocolate Chili since I would be babysitting kind of late. He has had a few cooking setbacks recently but I assured him he could do it. He got out the whole line up of food and got to work.
When I got home it smelled so yummy and it turned out perfectly. I had made cornbread earlier in the day so we enjoyed some pretty traditional Halloween/Fall food.
That night I wanted to watch a Halloween-ish movie, but not really a scary movie. We decided to keep it simple and look on Amazon Prime to see if anything was available. I found "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and decided we needed to take it back to our childhood and watch an episode. I remember when this T.V. show came on I could hardly make it through the opening scene and theme song without being scared out of my mind. I always turned it off about 2 minutes in. It was mostly cheesy and not scary but there was one part that made us both jump so I thought it was a Halloween success. Then we watched "The Witches" a movie based off the Roald Dahl book. It was weird but I think it satisfied the Halloween night movie as well.
