Halloween 5 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: costumes have been such a huge part of my life 6 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: literally like since I was born. Actually, so I got 7 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: to start with my childhood costumes because my childhood costumes 8 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: were like next level. Growing up, my mom had Nolan Miller, 9 00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: who was an amazing designer, not just an amazing designer 10 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: and you know, did every movie Stars, Academy Award gowns 11 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: and everything, Elizabeth Taylor and just everybody, but also he 12 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: did all of the wardrobe for Dynasty and all of 13 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: my dad's shows. He created everything. So he was also 14 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: like my quote unquote uncle, like uncle Nolan, and I 15 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: used to love going to his shop and visiting him 16 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: and getting to see him do all these amazing costumes 17 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: for actresses and TV shows and movies. And then my 18 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: mom had him create our Halloween costumes. So just setting 19 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: the stage because our Halloween costumes were literally next level. 20 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: I just remember, as far back as I can remember, 21 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: my very first costume, I believe was like a cat costume, 22 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: and I'm not sure if he made it. 23 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: Was that a black cat costume or. 24 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: No, it was a white kitty cat costume, and it 25 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: was like one of those heads of toe fur costumes, 26 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 2: not real for where just like my face stuck out. 27 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 2: And I remember what I loved about that costume is 28 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: it kind of stayed in the family because my brother 29 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: then wore that costume. I think it had like a 30 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: pink bow and then she changed it to a blue 31 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: bow when my brother wore it. I think we both 32 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: wore it like age two, So that's like my first 33 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: memory or not memory, probably looking back at photos, I 34 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: would see that Halloween costume. But from then on, the 35 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: costumes just like went next level. I remember my brother 36 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 2: and I he was five years younger, is five years younger. 37 00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: We would always have like cohesive costumes. And one year 38 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: I was a flapper and he, you know, had the 39 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: zoot suit on or whatever and like a little machine 40 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: gun and a little hat, and I had the most 41 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: amazing it was like a Dancing with the Stars costume. 42 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: But I was like eight and it was just my 43 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: mom would always do my makeup. I was a bride 44 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 2: one year, and I think The most memorable costume was 45 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: I was Marie Antoinette one year and my brother was 46 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: at Louis the fourteenth, would that be correct? And these costumes, 47 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: this was one I think I was probably like, gosh, 48 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: I was still in elementary school, so maybe I was eleven. Yeah, 49 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: I must have been like ten eleven. I had on 50 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: the full on Marie Antoinette costume. I'm talking about the costume. 51 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: It was like such a huge costume. It had like 52 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: not the hoopskirt, would it be the hoopskirt underneath? Like 53 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: I couldn't walk in it. It was like ginormous. I 54 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: couldn't sit down in it. I don't think I can 55 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: go through like a door away in it. And then 56 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: on top of that, I had the ginormous powdered wig, 57 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: which in itself I just remember being so heavy. It 58 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: was like it was so heavy. And I think that 59 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: was the year that as I look back at the 60 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 2: photos now and I appreciate them so much, and I'm like, 61 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: that was next level brilliant costume.

And 71 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 2: I was like, can I just be like I don't know, 72 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: I don't know what I wanted to be, but it 73 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: was definitely like all my friends had that, and I 74 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: had these very extravagant costumes.

But yeah, I 99 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: just remember going to like one or two houses and 100 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: barely being able to fit up the driveway or the 101 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: walkway because all the kids were coming, you know, you know, 102 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: kids get their candy and they run back from the house, 103 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, let me try to get 104 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: up to the house, but I couldn't move, and then 105 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: I would get my candy and be like out of breath. Like, okay, 106 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: now I got to go back down and try to 107 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: get to the next house. And that went on for 108 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: a few minutes, and then I felt something and I 109 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: was like, whoa, what's wet? And it was like the 110 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: equivalent like did a bird just poop on me? And 111 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: I realized the kids were laughing at this extravagant costume 112 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: I had and I was being egged and they were 113 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 2: like literally throwing eggs at me in my marine to 114 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: a costume. 115 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's awful, I know, Oh my god, 116 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: that is right. 117 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: And they were all, wait, how how old were you again? 118 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: Probably oh, I would say eleven. That is so mean. 119 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: And I just remember looking at them and they were 120 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: like pointing at me and laughing, and I was thinking, oh, 121 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: damn it. It's the costume, isn't it. It's the costume. Shoot. 122 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: So then I remember I was like defeated, and I 123 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 2: was like, can I take my wig off? So then 124 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 2: we had to go back in the car and my 125 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: parents helped me take the wig off, but then you 126 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: have like a stocking cap on, so then I felt like, 127 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: oh my gosh. So I just took that off and 128 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: I had like pin curls underneath, and it was just 129 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: at that point I was like, oh my gosh, I 130 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 2: think I'm over this. 131 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: Wait, did your parents like yell at the kids or 132 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: they like very. 133 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: Often remember terrible? Oh yeah, my parents not happy. I 134 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: think we moved to a different street, but like you know, 135 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: they my mom was trying to create this magical, great 136 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: experience and she didn't know kids would respond like this. 137 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: But it definitely like had a memory that stayed with me, 138 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my gosh, I just remember 139 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: after that, I was like, really, I think I really 140 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: just want to store costume from now on. And I 141 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: was you know, when you're eleven, like you're getting to 142 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: the age where you're starting to not like be as 143 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: into costumes. But the very next year, I did a 144 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 2: bunny costume that was made for me, and that was 145 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: a big bunny costume from head to toe and my 146 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: face was out and I can't remember why I wanted 147 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: that costume, but I had I had an allergic reaction 148 00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 2: to it and I had to take off the bunny costume. Anyway, 149 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: long story short, these like amazing impressive costumes that took 150 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: probably months to make. I was like, oh my gosh, 151 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: I'm over costumes. So as I got older, I was like, Okay, 152 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 2: you know what, when I have kids, I'm going to 153 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: do store bought costumes. I'm going to make it easy, 154 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: Like that's the route I'm going to go. But you know, 155 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: it was ingrained in my soul to really create an 156 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: experience for Halloween and around costumes especially, And while you know, 157 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 2: my life with my kids is very different than the 158 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: life my parents gave me and my brother growing up, 159 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: it was always in my DNA to create and want 160 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 2: to do. Obviously, I wasn't able to have a costume 161 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: designer come in and execute all these amazing costumes for 162 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: my kids. But as soon as I started having kids, 163 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: I was like, DIY or the Highway, Like I'm going 164 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 2: to make these incredible costumes. So I also didn't know 165 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 2: I was going to have five kids, so I started 166 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: di wying their costumes. And I'm not even sure why, 167 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: but I always when they were young would diy food costumes. 168 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: I don't know where that came from, and it's so 169 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 2: kind of weird when I think about it now, and 170 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: I say to the kids, like, oh my gosh, you 171 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: don't remember this costume. But like, for instance, Hattie she 172 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: was well her birthdays in October, so she was like 173 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: two weeks old or three weeks old when Halloween happened, 174 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: So she was a newborn. So I was like, okay, 175 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: we couldn't take her out, but I wanted to do 176 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 2: a costume for her so we could all take like 177 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: family photos. And then I was just also recovering from 178 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: a C section, so I don't think I could even 179 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: go walk around. So Dean took Stella and Liam, who 180 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: were very young at the time, but I made Hattie 181 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: into a DIY turkey on a platter, still to the state, 182 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: one of my most impressive DIY costumes. I think amazing, 183 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: because you know, she was so young. She had to 184 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: be swaddled, and I then like literally took a foam 185 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: I made a foam turkey and cut it out so 186 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: we could place her in it, so her little head 187 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: was just sticking out, her little newborn head, and then 188 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: she was a turkey all around her. And then I 189 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: made a platter, but it was all like a foam 190 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: platter with like vegetables on the platter around it so 191 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: we could just hold her. 192 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: That is incredible, really incredible. Okay, wait, question, we're Stella 193 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: and Liam like cranberry sauce and baked potatoes or math potatoes. 194 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: A theme, no, because here's the thing. I always wanted 195 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: to do themes but or make it cohesive with each other, 196 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: but it didn't always work out that way. And I 197 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: was also fighting my urge of let the kids be 198 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: what they want to be, Like, you know, they want 199 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: a Storebock costume. So like I would always kind of 200 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: go back and forth between like my DIY needs and 201 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: what they wanted to be. So a lot of the 202 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: times there were a lot of superheroes going on. So 203 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 2: I remember that particular year. Gosh, I feel like I 204 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: have to go back and look at photos. I feel 205 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: like Stella was probably a princess or something. Liam and 206 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: Dean I think were matching and they were like Wolverine 207 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: or Yeah, it was like a lot of superheroes when 208 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: Liam was little and Hattie was a turkey on a platter, 209 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 2: and I had literally just had a baby's and was recovering. 210 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: So I I di wide. I was like a version 211 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: of like Alfred Hitchcock the Birds, and so I like 212 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: did my makeup and I put like black, like I 213 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: went to Michael's and got like the black crows and 214 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: just had them. I huglued them all to this like dress. 215 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: I had this like flowy like dress I could wear 216 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: after recovery basically. So yeah, it wasn't like a family theme. Hmmm. 217 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: I would always every year like come up with mood 218 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: boards and like go to Pinterest and like you know, 219 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: pull reference photos and I would say to the kids, 220 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: like we could do this, we could be this, this 221 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: is a family and they'd be like, nah, I don't 222 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: want to do that. I'm like okay, okay. The good 223 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: news is there was always like school things. Then we 224 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 2: would go to like you know, some Halloween party or 225 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: an event. So I don't know why I would do 226 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: this to myself. Often I would make multiple costumes. It's 227 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 2: exhausting just thinking about it. But like, yeah, I made 228 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: so Finn his first Halloween. I made him a piece 229 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: of sushi. He was a salmon egg sushi because he 230 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: was a newborn and well a guest. He was like 231 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,479 Speaker 2: a month and a half. So I swaddled him and 232 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: his little face was sticking out and it was like 233 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: he was I got like balls, the plastic balls, orange ones, 234 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: so they were like the salmon egg sushi on him 235 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: and made it so he was like sitting on a 236 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: piece of rice and had cute little chopsticks on his 237 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: little because he had to wear his little his little 238 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: baby hat like a little beanie they wear anyway. So 239 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: I had chopsticks like on the back of that. So 240 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: but it placed nicely so if he moved his head, 241 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: it wouldn't hurt him or anything. Yeah, So he was 242 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: a piece of sushi. And then that same year, Hattie, 243 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: they're only ten months apart, I made her spaghetti and meatballs, 244 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: and I made like suspenders, and I made like a 245 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: big bowl so it was like the bowl was around her. 246 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: And then she was spaghetti with the noodles and stuff, 247 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: and I made like foam meatballs in the bowl, and 248 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: I put like sauce on her face. Oh my gosh, 249 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: I don't I should ask my therapist. There's probably something 250 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: here about why I turned my kids into food. Maybe 251 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 2: because I was just really hungry. I think I was 252 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: still like, yeah, like breastfeeding, so I probably like was 253 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: just so famished, and I had two newborns at the 254 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: same like ten months apart. I was probably just so 255 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: hungry that I just wanted to was thought about food 256 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: all the time and just had two backed back pregnancies. 257 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 2: It's probably as simple as that. When you're an adult, 258 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 2: it just doesn't doesn't have the same impact. But then 259 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: then I always did really like dressing my bump, my 260 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: pregnancy bump when when I was pregnant. So like one 261 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 2: year when I was pregnant with bo I made my 262 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 2: baby bump into a gumball machine. So I was like 263 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: a gumball machine and I had a plastic thing with 264 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 2: gumballs inside on my baby bump. That was really cute. 265 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. I was so creative when I wasn't 266 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 2: so old and tired. 267 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 3: It was. 268 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. And then like and then like we would make 269 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 2: matching costumes. Oh my gosh. Now I think about it 270 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't really diy anymore. Yeah, I 271 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: miss those days. Like diying was so important to me 272 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: and I loved doing it so much, but it became 273 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: such a thing. I mean, it would take you guys know, 274 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: I'm not an organizer. So it's not like I started 275 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: making these costumes like months in advance. Like it would 276 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: be like weeks before Halloween and I'd be like, oh 277 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 2: my gosh, I remember some costumes.

I think you should start your line 334 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: of folloween costumes for kids. 335 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: Oh I could, but I feel like, yeah, like is 336 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 3: that that's like we need to bring that back because 337 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 3: I feel like. 338 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: It's like when I was growing up, storebock costumes were in, 339 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: and then I feel like they weren't. It was like 340 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 2: very much about like making your own costumes and everyone 341 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: was diying and got back into that, and now I 342 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 2: feel like store block costumes are like back in, but 343 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: you know there's ebbs and flows. Everything that's old, it's 344 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 2: new again. Everything comes back in. So yeah, I feel 345 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: like if it was something that was accessible costumes for everybody, 346 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: that would be a good idea. Okay, added to my 347 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 2: list of ideas that I'll never accept. Wall no, that 348 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: you no, I will execute. I am executing yes, yes, 349 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: which brings me to the point now that here we are, 350 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: it's October, We're in it.

Don't worry, He's 458 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 2: not scarred at all.

Let me 541 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 2: like yelp when we find another Halloween store, you know, 542 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 2: in the ten mile radius, like oh my gosh, I 543 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 2: am out of time. And yeah, I was defeated. I 544 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 2: came home with a meat cleaver, a fake meat cleaver, 545 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: and the kids thought that was really funny and everything. 546 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 2: But anyway, Finn was fine. He wanted to hold his 547 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 2: bag and get candy. Now the new thing is my 548 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 2: kids take pillowcases, which I know, like our parents used 549 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 2: to say, like, well, when I was young, we didn't 550 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 2: they didn't make things to carry your candy in. We'd 551 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 2: you know, we would just take a pillowcase and go 552 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 2: with it. And we didn't have money, you know, that 553 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 2: type of thing. But now the cool thing is to 554 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 2: like go back to like pillowcases. I'm like, okay, sure, 555 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 2: and he was like one last thing you have to buy. 556 00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 2: This is true, but I love those like pumpkin, the 557 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 2: pumpkin ones, just like the ones I had when I 558 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: was little, So I still have to get those every year. 559 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 2: I know, we haven't even gotten our pumpkins to car 560 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 2: for this year. We every year, I say I'm gonna 561 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 2: get it done in time. I say this about every holiday, 562 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 2: or every birthday or every day in my life. I'm 563 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 2: gonna get a ton. Yeah, we have not gone to 564 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 2: the pumpkin patch yet. You know, we did nine of 565 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 2: the jack which is great, but I still there's so 566 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 2: many more Halloween things to do. So yeah, okay, now 567 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 2: I just literally plummeted myself inside. And I really need 568 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 2: to ask the kids what they want to be for Halloween. 569 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 2: But they are some of them are older, so like 570 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 2: you know, Liam's eighteen, Stella seventeen. Like they'll do like 571 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 2: a version of a costume, but it's more like they're 572 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 2: hanging out with their friends, you know, so it's more 573 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 2: of like an adult costume like kind of thing. So 574 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 2: I don't have to worry as much about that. Pattie 575 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 2: and Finn, I don't even know if they feel like 576 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 2: dressing up this year. You know, well, you might get lucky. 577 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 2: You know, I'll make it lucky. It might just be bo. 578 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 2: Oh no, won't be so sad though. If it's just 579 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: bo to dress up this year, I guess I'm going 580 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 2: to feel really sad. So I'll take on some other 581 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 2: people's kids to DIY for
