 So can you guess what I dressed up as for Halloween? Maleficent! One of my favorite Disney movies in a long time I've seen it twice in theaters! (Well both times in the dollar theater. haha) I think my costume turned out awesome considering how resourceful I was and the fact that I won both of my work parties costume contests! Woot Woot!

That long black dress was actually my choir dress from senior year in high school. (so glad I keep hanging onto it) and my staff I made is a wooden rod that I had sitting around the house from my married days ( I think Tyler used it for some engineering project) which I painted brown and then a tennis ball covered in black duct tape and taped to the top of the staff. AND best part? A picture of the crow from the original Sleeping Beauty which I printed and taped to the top and it lasted super well standing up! The only thing I had to buy is the head dress which I admit I did splurge a bit on... It cost like $25 but it was by far the best one I found so I went for it :)
 To accompany me are my two little dragon dogs. Petsmart was having a sale on dog costumes so I couldn't resist (I mean there is a dragon in both movies) Monty's costume is a bit large so it hangs to the side but it's this adorable shiny red (almost demon-like) costume with black sparkling wings horns and tail. I love it on him though! And Ollie's got a black furry costume with purple sparkly details on the wings and back and the hood (which alas doesn't fit him) has a purple tuft of hair and monster eyes and teeth! I love these two little pups!
And one for the road me showing off my staff and my worst serious face I could muster!

For Halloween I dressed up the Thursday before for Aribex (Yay!) and on Sunday for a Kneaders Party (Also YAY!) However on actual Halloween I did not dress up.. I know right? I did go to a pretty laid back party to get out of the house but for the most part I enjoyed my first non-Sunday day off in well over a month. Congrats to me for finishing my overtime project!

Another Carbon County Success story: Getting to watch closing races of a 3 day event: The Castle Country Clash at the Desert Thunder raceway. Some of you who knew me years ago would know I was a big NASCAR fan back in the day. (I mean I made NASCAR board game for a 5th grade math project once...I was serious about it)  So when Tina asked us if we would be interested in attending the weekend's stock car races my answer was an easy YES! Saturday with our ATV ride, we were wiped out but luckily we finished our hike Sunday just in time for me to check out the afternoon races.

Fall Carbon County ATV ride

Fall Carbon County ATV Tour Let me start off this post by saying that not only did this tour far exceed my expectations, but the entire area did. If you hear Carbon County, most people immediately ask "what is there to even do there," "where is that?" Then you mention "Price" which is on all the road signs when you head from SLC to Moab and you get a few nods.  WELL, time to change that.

NYC Day 2: Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, and Central Park Despite the late night Broadway show before, we were up early and determined to hit the rest of the list. So first up was Brooklyn. It took about 40 min to get to the Bagel Store on Bedford Ave between 2 subway lines and less than mile of walking. Rainbow bagel with funfetti smear: perfection.
