A Halloween "COVID" weekend

 


During 2020 we perfected what Erin and I know affectionately call the "COVID weekend".  Basically, a weekend where we bake sugar cookies, spend too much time decorating them, make a fancy cocktail, start a movie we'll ultimately talk through and just hang out here at our house.  Life has gotten busy again, and we're all going it a lot of directions so one day we looked at the calendar, carved out a weekend and decided we were going to have a good old COVID weekend.  (Are we at the point where we can laugh about this yet!?  I can't tell....)


Anyways, we made Halloween cookies for the kids to take to their teachers (of course we ate plenty took).  We tried out some new designs and some new techniques.  Abby got creative and wanted to make a Sanderson Sister (she turned out pretty good I think!).


Not pictured here is the Corpse Reviver #2 that we tried (theme'd cocktail of the weekend).  We decided it was good, not great.  Maybe I need to look into making my twist on it.  Dan suggested swapping the Absinthe rinse for Fernet.  We'll see.  


We capped off the weekend with a Hocus Pocus 2 viewing party on Sunday evening.  I can't take much credit for the party, except hosting it here at the house.  Jamie did all the planning and came up with the cute crafts and drinks for the kids.  

We had a great low key weekend and I can't wait til we plan our next COVID weekend!
