You're listening to the Beautiful Mess Podcast, your cozy comfort listen and this week

we're back with our annual Ghost Stories episode.

Yeah, this is where we read your ghost stories that you have told us.

So we read them.

We'll also chat about Halloween decor, parties, costumes, all things spooky.

Okay, before we jump in, I have to tell the most epic tradition.

This is like one of the highlights of my motherhood journey. This is one of the things I will be most proud of I

think at the end of it all. So ever since kindergarten and Nova's in third

grade so I guess this would be our fourth year.

On school picture day, Nova wears a Wednesday Adams costume to school,

and we have it, and now it's like the fourth year in a row so she wears and we get a new one every year and

she knows that it's her school picture day costume and she knows it's a tradition so this year she's like

the age I would say kind of for the first time where she might like say no and I just

always thought like whenever she says no is fine like I know she will like someday still

probably next year but like this year she was still I like asked her if she wanted me to order it and

she was into it and then she was like looking at it she was trying it on I saw her hanging in

on her door the night before.

Oh.

Getting it ready.

And then, yeah, she wore it to school.

She had a field trip that day, so she also like packed a t-shirts.

She didn't have to wear it the whole day.
