Hello! Welcome to this week’s post! A lot has happened since we last talked!

1. My Mom’s Birthday!

She had SO much fun! In the morning, we let her sleep in. (By “let”, I mean we stopped Doc from going into her room and jumping on her bed.) After she woke up, she met us downstairs and opened her gifts. Her gift from Me, Hazel, and Doc were painted measuring cups. She likes drinking her coffee from liquid measuring cups, so we all added some “flair”! (I use this term loosely.)

At about 8:00 AM, her friends brought her coffee, and for dinner she went to a fancy shmancy restaurant with my Dad and their close friends.

I wasn’t at home when the dinner happened, which brings me to Event #2!

2. Sleepover!

My friend and I had a LONG overdue sleepover! I went to her house, played video games, got burgers, watched TV, slept, woke up, ate waffles, and played more video games. Eventful, I know!

3. Laundry

In the time period of this post and the last one, I have done A LOT of laundry. Seriously. Laundry sucks.

Just a quick shoutout to all those people who brave the laundry baskets EVERY DAY. I respect you guys.

4. TV show recommendation! (This isn’t an event, but it’s SUPER important.)

I have been binging watching Outer Banks. Seriously good. It’s like National Treasure, but with teens. And murder. And it’s in North Carolina. But seriously cool! You can watch it on Netflix.

Unfortunately, I am on a school Google account, and the Outer Banks Trailer on Youtube is restricted for some reason, so here is the link to the page. You’ll have to click on the link to view the video. It’s just a few extra steps. I believe in you!

I don’t think a lot else has happened. Life has been pretty uneventful. I got to go to Elephant’s Deli with my friends after school. We do it almost every week, and it’s REALLY fun. We buy food, make dumb jokes, and get to not stay three feet apart, like we have to do at school!

That’s pretty much it!

Well, other than the SNL skit and Actor Of The Week! Enjoy!

Here is the SNL skit. (It’s also restricted.)

And this week’s Actor Of The Week is…

Madelyn Cline!

She has been in Outer Banks (what a coincidence!), Stranger Things, What Breaks The Ice, This Is The Night, and the upcoming movie, Knives Out 2!

Have a great night! (Or day, I don’t know what time of day you are reading this post!)

Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen to the SECOND Halloween post on my blog!

Today we will discuss costumes, pumpkins, and candy, the works!

This post is sponsored by Halloween.

This year I went trick-or-treating on my street with Hazel, Doc, My Mom, My Dad, Our Cousins Hillary, Andrew, Danny, and our friends Akiva, and Elannah!

We trick-or-treated in a big group on our street, ate dinner, then Hazel and I trick-or-treated on our own for about an hour and half, then we met up at Doc’s Nanny’s house.

Aaaaannnnnyyywwwaaayyy…

1. Costumes!

This year I was the Operation game character!

Hazel was Cousin It from the Addams Family!

Doc was a pumpkin-scarecrow-thing!

Danny was a crow, so were Hillary and Andrew! (I made their costumes!!!)

That isn’t a very good photo of it, but this is the inspiration:

Elannah was a fork in the road! The person in the picture isn’t Elannah. I didn’t get a picture of her! : ( This is a photo I got on the internet

Akiva was Fifty Shades of Gray! I also didn’t get a photo of Akiva, so this is just an example of his costume.

2. These are our pumpkins!

You might be wondering why one says “Tuckliff”. That is Hillary, Andrew, and Danny’s last name, Tuck, mixed with mine, Topliff. Also, I did a butterfly for Danny because he LOVES them!

My dad’s says Barn This Way, which is a joke between him and my Mom.

Here are some photos from the pumpkin patch. (I’m not in any of them because I was taking the photos!)

3. Candy!

What is your favorite chocolate bar? I like chocolate much more than the gummy or fruity candies. My favorite chocolate candies are M&Ms, Kit Kats, and Twix!

That’s all for now! I hope you had a GREAT Halloween! You can tell me about it in the comments. I would LOVE to hear about it!

Last week, my family and our good friends decided to have a Halloween-themed dinner. Doc LOVED it! Our guests, Akiva and Elannah (Doc calls Akiva “Bipa”), made cute little veggie monsters!

My mom made meatloaf cupcakes. She cooked the meatloaf in a muffin tin and used mashed potatoes as frosting. Then she added candy eyes for decoration!

My mom told Doc it was a cupcake. Surprisingly, meatloaf and cupcakes taste sort of different, and Doc was NOT a fan…

So…yeah. But that meal wasn’t ALL bad! I made ice cream cones for everyone!

Now get ready for ADORABLE PHOTOS I’VE TAKEN FROM THE PAST WEEK!!!!

Finally, my last topic is a new Hulu show. I LOVE “Only Murders In The Building”. It is SUPER FUNNY! Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez star, with a cameo from Sting and Tina Fey!

By the way, the actor of the week is Steve Martin!

Obviously he was in “Only Murders in the Building”, and he was also in “Pink Panther”, “Father of the Bride”, “Cheaper by the Dozen”, and “Little Shop of Horror”.

Have a nice day!
