This Hallowe’en we put together a “haunted maze”, or really a short, winding tour through my sister’s back yard. I’ve always wanted to put together a haunted house, and as a kid I loved visiting...
The weekend before Hallowe’en I brought all the props over to Jenn’s and I spray painted them with various grays and a rock texture. We had a few hay bails, which will be used to plant garlic, that...
We finished carving, sticking, hanging, lighting, and positioning everything just in time for our first little cowboy trick-or-treater. I rushed on some makeup with a vague idea of a grim reaper,...

On Saturday we biked to our favourite doughnut spot, SuzyQ, and ate our bounty lounging on a picnic blanket in a park around the corner. We also finally made it to La Fiesta Latina, a fantastic...
