Halloween Night

 

Halloween night I confiscated my neighbors cat and created an iron man mask for him!

(Backstory when they wander around they always wear a light attached to their collar so that they can be seen.) Therefore I knew when he came to visit me he'd already have half his costume on. Also since this is the most tolerable cat in the world he purred the entire time I fitted a mask to his face.

Then I took him upstairs, she thoroughly enjoyed him all dressed up, we paraded him around to some neighbors, then we found the other kitty and made him dress up as iron-kitty too.
Honestly adorable and I swear they totally didn't mind, didn't even try to get the mask off once!

 

Then hubs and I headed over to a new spicy hotdog food truck that opened up in our neighborhood, dream come true, and watched a movie while I did an art project for United Way for work.

No candy involved sadly, but the next night we rented a movie and picked up a box of bottlecaps, heated up corndogs, and made popcorn for dinner. (yes hot dogs 2 nights in a row, oops)
I swear we normally eat better than this, but who says no to corndogs & bottlecaps- no one!

 

And just like that it's November & one month closer to seeing my family again :)

Comfort Food

I'm laying on our kitchen floor waiting for my cow timer to go off indicating that the espresso cupcakes I have created are done, it's midnight. Josh had to do some work tonight so we made espresso, jamming to the Decemberists and Ra Ra Riot and then I just ended up baking- no surprise there. I'm so excited these were the first desserts I made with Agatha, My orange mixer. I'll explain in another post. She is very photogenic.

As I'm sure is evident by now Joshua and I name everything- cacti, ducks, mixers, miniature snowmen- we can't help it- it's a gift.
This weekend we took naps- lots and lots of them while watching Big Bang theory and eating coffee flavored ice cream with roasted cocoa nibs (I bought them at Whole Foods a year ago because I liked the packaging, thank goodness they are actually crazy yummy) We also got Indian Food because we were missing home and we decided that is our comfort food.

Since I was feeling homesick this weekend my hubs stepped up to save the weekend and took me for donuts, another major comfort food (someone at my work said comfort food was proven by science to help- I agree)

 I love taking photos of him eating it's so amusing, he doesn't agree- or know I'm putting this on here :)

 

One of our neighbors has 2 cats that roam around. They like to visit and came into our apartment to play the other night. They found our closet and seemed to enjoy it the most. We like pretending we have pets. Cats aren't the favorite but we swear these act more like dogs.

So overall relaxing, lazy weekend, but it totally rocked. Hope yours was awesome! We're thinking of all of you!
