Halloween {Rainy Kelley Style}

I do, I love Halloween.  It’s kind of my fave.  And it rained all flippin’ day long.  So plans changed and we Kelleys adapted.

Pumpkin carving.  Josh Kelley was in charge.  No one was very interested and he free handed our pumpkin…which I think kind of looks like a pumpkin Garbage Pail Kid…with fangs.

Huddy and Sol had MDO and a fun Halloween party.

I picked up The Croods from Redbox at 9:10am.  Rain, rain and more rain was on the forecast and it did not disappoint.  Now we have tornado warnings.

Amon and I did last minute Africa shopping.  He insisted on me taking jelly bellys to Africa.  Well okay Amon, if you insist.

Harper had her class Halloween party.  Ms. Flowers asked me to make the jello spider petri dishes.  It worked perfectly and most of the kids chowed down.  Jello should really make a new green flavor that isn’t lime though.  It’s funky.

I picked my nephew Coop up from school and he was dressed in his ape costume.  How fun and hilarious is he?  Totally.  Made me happy I am his aunt.

The last of my Africa supplies arrived…solar powered lanterns.  I’ve become BFF with the UPS dude.  Today he asked if I ran a day care.  I was all like, “Nope.  They’re all mine.”

Candy, candy and more candy.  I blew my no-sweets during the week, but it is Halloween.  Come on.

Our Star Wars crew hit up one lonely house.  The Barnes family, who never get trick-or-treaters, got the mother load.  And were happy to see us.  We were excited to get in one official trick-or-treat house.  Then we went home with McDonald’s happy meals.  My pictures are terrible…too dark and too windy and Amon was DUN.

And shortly after everyone was in bed our electricity went out.  And remained out for several hours.  Josh and I weighed bags in the dark, but finally got all my bags to the right weights…maybe.  I’m praying for a compassionate and kind Delta worker who will weigh all my bags with some grace.  I think I’m going to need it.

And there you have it.  Our Halloween in a nut shell.  Hope you guys enjoyed the day…Halloween celebrating or not.

Happy Thursday!

  1. I would love to know where you gif those solar powered lanterns. Our church partners with a children’s home in Mexico and we provide all their Christmas gifts, and batteries and flashlights are always on the kiddos Christmas lists. Those lanterns might just be our golden ticket for them.

  2. Chapter 2: Taking photos in low light. (Coming soon)

  3. Oh, that is so sad about Halloween getting rained out! In Nebraska we were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather last night and I was thinking to myself what a bummer it would be if it rained (which it did the two days prior.) Somehow if it was snowing, that’s one thing, but I was thinking to get rained out would be such a disappointment. (A couple years ago my daughter was sick on Halloween which was also such a bummer.) Thank goodness there are a million other trick-or-treat activities before Halloween actually comes. Nice job adapting and going with the flow! The kids’ costumes are adorable!
