Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.





Hey, It's Okay....



.....to be taking Natalie Trick-or-Treating at 6 on Halloween. We usually go until close to 8. I'll at least get 10,000 steps because we walk. I don't understand these people that take vehicles down each street. Park it. Walk.



.....to hope it doesn't rain on Halloween. There's a 50% chance of it. Oh no! But we'll still keep going if it does rain just like we do when we're at Disney World.



....to be picking up a red balloon for Natalie to have when we Trick-or-Treat since she's this:




.....to not understand why all the blogs seem to state a tiny monkey on your finger is the new "it" toy this year. I showed Natalie and she was all, "That looks freaky. I don't want something attached to my finger like that. How am I supposed to write?" However, she DOES want those LOL Dolls (and I got her the giant one for Christmas.)



....to have tried out Scooped, the cookie dough place that just opened at the North Star Mall. On this tray we got the pumpkin, cake batter, and chocolate chip dough. So delicious.

  4. Amber,

    Ice cream is something I'm always okay with! Yum!!! We always took our kids out Trick or Treating before it got dark. It just isn't safe to be on the streets after night falls. Sure, it's a fun thing to do but when you live in a city then you always have to be on guard for traffic. Y'all keep safe this Halloween and enjoy the fun. Natalie is sure to put the creepy in Halloween with her costume!

  5. Here, lights start going off by 7:30, so anyone who waits until the end of the night is out of luck. Official hours are 6-8, but most people run out by then.

  6. I love that Natalie chooses scary costumes! That is what Halloween is about! Man, I want to try that cookie dough. It looks so good! Shelby is into those LOL dolls too!

  7. Halloween night it seems to always rain where we live. Many people do drive because of the weather. There are certain areas people go to because they are so kid friendly. Older people like to be hit up early so everyone knows to go to their houses early.

  8. It's supposed to rain tonight here as well. No worries, the kids will trick or treat for about an hour before heading to their favorite haunted house and then to Sonic for 50 cent corn dogs. Happy Halloween!

  9. Is really need to see that your daughter is picking out such a scary costume. I would be scared of that even as an adult! It is obvious you guys really get into Halloween and it looks like a lot of fun.

  15. That dough. Is it like real dough or ice cream with dough flavor? It's weird we don't have such a thing here...

  19. I have been wanting to give Scooped a try. It looks so delicious. I like to start out trick or treating around 6 and usually go till about 8. It is a great way to get in your steps for the day.

  20. LOVE her costume!!! And the ice cream, OMG! Birthday Cake Remix from Cold Stone is the only cake batter ice cream I've had, and it's to die for.. Happy Halloween!

  21. A cookie dough restaurant? That is just too cool. I want one near me now.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I don't understand people who drive and park, just walk it's not that hard.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow, I wish I had a cookie dough place near me! Yum!

    And, nice costume! That's definitely a scary one!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hope the treat and treat went fabulous. Of course, ice cream is always okay! Yummm!

  25. I hope you didn't get any rain this year! We did last year and it was awful going trick or treating!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I hope you had a fun and safe night! Hopefully the rain held off for all the little ones!

  27. I have never understood why so many people are afraid of clowns. Great costume and with the balloons just made it over the top.

    ReplyDelete
  28. As someone who is terrified of clowns, your daughter's costume would give me nightmares. :D But isn't that what Halloween is all about? We always went out right at 6, too, and stayed out until 8. We walked. You actually hit more houses if you walk!

  29. Omg your child as Pennywise is creepy! We went trick o treating at 6pm too...I am not a mom and my friend didnt know but is it the new norm to go trick o treating at 4pm? We had no idea.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Ahhh yes please to the cookie dough!!! I hate the drivers too! It's definitely a pet peeve of mine. We start at 6 and finish at before 8.

    ReplyDelete
  31. 6pm sounds like the perfect time to go for Halloween festivities. Otherwise you'd be out all night! That's super tiring.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yes always to cookie dough and red balloons and the Halloween spirit.
    I don't have a clue about tiny monkeys on fingers?!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Your daughter picked a great costume choice. I love the non-girly costumes. With the movie remake of IT this was timely.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ha! I thought I was the only one thinking about those that ride car to trick or treat. It's a lost opportunity to catch some walking if you ride.

    ReplyDelete
  35. It rained on us during trick-or-treating. Guess who quit early? Not us. We did enjoy ourselves, though.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It sounds like overall you had a good Halloween. I was worried it was going to rain here too, thankfully it waited until today.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Her costume looked scary and I love the red balloons. love the cookie dough.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'd have tried that new place too. :) Halloween is fun for the kids. They do love to get dressed up.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love her scary costume totally got the Halloween vibe going. Walking is good for your health though I agree with you finding it weird to use cars unless of course there is a good reason for it.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I have not heard about the little guy on the finger. That does sound like it would be a little but hindering.

    ReplyDelete
  41. TRICK OR TREAT has been known by the kids every Halloween. Natalie's costume is the bomb! For sure its really scary.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Haha I love how Natalie is not afraid to embrace the scary! She looks fabulous and that ice cream looks delicious!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love the clown costume and the bright red balloons are perfect for it! I dressed as a witch to walk my dog (who would not dress for the occasion) around the neighborhood. The kids love him and he loves them! It was chilly here but thankfully no rain.

    I really like the link-up theme and may have to hop along!

    ReplyDelete
