Zombies and almost getting punched in the face

  It's scary movie October in our house. Every October I force Tyson to watch scary movies with me. I love it. He tolerates it. Ahhh.... marriage. But before you think I'm a huge weirdo- I do have standards.  I am really picky about what movies we watch ...I don't want a lot of blood, which is why I love the older movies- they leave a lot to the imagination. I also refuse to watch anything demonic...especially involving children. I just cannot. So no Exorcist for me, thanks.

  I don't know why...but I love all things scary. Scary movies, haunted houses, Zombies, and jumping out and scaring my husband when he leaves to go to the bathroom while we are watching t.v. at night.
Except last time he almost (out of reflex, so he says) punched me in the face. So I may have to stop doing that.

  And yes, for the love, calm down. I also like fall for all of the obvious reasons: pumpkin everything, cooler weather, changing leaves, football, boots, apple picking, the holiday season....blah, blah, blah. Its just that scary movies top my list of favorite fall things.

 Here are a few of my all time favorite scary movies....so you too can watch scary movies this month. It's lots of fun I tell you. And while watching them you should eat Brachs candy corn. The original flavor. And now you have the perfect fall evening. You are welcome.

My all time favorites:
  -Halloween (original)
 - Friday the 13th (original)
  -Psycho
  -Nightmare on Elm Street ( the new one)
 - Let the Right One In (Swedish horror film)
 - 28 Weeks Later
 - Dawn of the Dead
 - 30 Days of Night


 Mom hacks:

- Caramel Apple Cider Sangria. So good, so fall-like, and so easy to make.

- lunch packing. I now pack two lunches everyday. Which is twice as many as last year. Which means if I didn't use these reusable containers I would be going through hundreds of Ziploc baggies. And the lunchbox love notes are too cute...
