It was right on the beach so you could just like walk right onto that and it was really nice. Boston had so much fun in like the pools and playing in the sand and honestly though I was the first couple days we tried to make sure that like mephis was like hanging out with us. And like halfway through I was like honestly I'm just going to go put him down in his play pin in the hotel room and I'm going to sit in a cool room air condition and just like take a nap by myself and I was like this was honestly like the best part of the trip. 01:24.13 goodgriefjournals From time left. Yeah. 01:32.74 Karli But it was so nice. So like that was way way fun. Um, yeah, and then last week we went Kyle and I like finally took a little anniversary trip. Our anniversary is the beginning of August but we just kind of had like a lot going on in August so we took a little trip. 01:36.46 goodgriefjournals That's awesome. What's so good. 01:50.89 Karli Just local park city and stated at a hotel and it was really nice I did miss the kids a lot though I like thought that I would I thought that I would but it was like even more than I thought like there was one point I was like maybe we just go back to my parents house and say hi because they're only like 20 minutes away 01:57.15 goodgriefjournals Not crazy. 02:10.71 Karli Kyle's like no I'm like but I really want some. 02:13.19 goodgriefjournals Right? Like please please can we do that? Um, yeah I feel like every time that I go through like leaving my kids I get like super. 02:19.80 Karli Ah, yeah I. 02:30.89 goodgriefjournals I'm like oh man I Just wish I was with my kids and then when I woke them I'm like I think I need a break I think I need to go somewhere. 02:31.58 Karli I know I real I know well nobody because every time I was like oh it's so nice to be outtated at a restaurant and not have to worry about like kids like oh I'm just like enjoying my food. Oh I'm just like enjoying this hot tub. 02:49.50 goodgriefjournals Yeah here. 02:51.33 Karli And now that I don't enjoy it with my kids but it's like so much more focused on them and I felt like I was able like experience what I was like experiencing so it was nice but it's also like one of those like I just miss him so much. So um, oh last thing I was. 02:54.23 goodgriefjournals And I mean. 03:02.35 goodgriefjournals Yeah, yeah, totally anything else. 03:08.87 Karli And to say was so in our like um postpartum episode a couple weeks ago I guess this is coming out. You were like talking about what was it like Dm er dyspoic milk injection reflex so I did like a q and a. 03:11.92 goodgriefjournals Now. Yes, yeah. 03:23.99 Karli And somebody asked me like are you so breastfeeding and I was just like no and I talked about how like how much anxiety I like I get from it and honestly like I was thinking about it and I was like I was like ah love it. Ah. 03:37.96 goodgriefjournals Um, sorry of my grandma. 03:43.63 Karli I was thinking about it though and I was like I actually think I might have had that like experience that because somebody dmed me and and they were like have you ever heard of this and they were like talking about it and so I went and looked into it again I was like you know because I think that pumping. 03:51.18 goodgriefjournals What. 04:01.16 Karli Was a better experience but it was still really like stressful and gave me a lot of anxiety and I think it was because like because I think I may have like experienced this. But I think it was a little bit better though because I knew that like my baby was already getting its. 04:01.51 goodgriefjournals And here. 04:07.48 goodgriefjournals Yeah, yeah. 04:20.34 Karli Milk so like that part of it wasn't as stressful but like the actual like release of milk just still gave me so much anxiety. So I was like oh gosh I'm so glad he say glad Sadie brought that up because I had never heard of that and I think a lot of people probably haven't heard about it either. So. 04:30.96 goodgriefjournals Um, what. 04:37.19 Karli Experience anxiety with that I would definitely look into it because it's just nice to know that something you went through has a name now you don't feel as like stupid I Guess so anyway I try I track on that. 04:43.42 goodgriefjournals Yeah, well and I thought when you know that like other people are going through it too and it's like you're not the only one you know? Yeah, definitely. 04:56.13 Karli Ah, like yeah oh exactly. So yeah, thanks for that and if anybody else experienced that I would definitely look into it because the more I read about it I was like I like this is totally how I felt like this is totally like ah so it's really nice to have that. 05:06.30 goodgriefjournals Um, yeah, yeah, okay so mine's definitely not anything like Cabo or weekend anniversary trip. Nope we just. 05:12.85 Karli But what about you, let's hear life. Update from you? yeah. 05:21.94 Karli Um, I mean that's not normally how our life is. 05:26.80 goodgriefjournals Actually quite the opposite parker went on a solo trip to Utah he went to the Kendrick Lamar concert and he yeah yeah, yeah, he asked me oh he absolutely love it. 05:30.38 Karli Oh man, That's why he was in Uah away thought oh did he love it. Oh my god. 05:44.41 goodgriefjournals Watches the like videos that he took just absolutely love it. Um, yeah, he was like do you want to go with me and I was like no I don't know Kendrop wellmore songs like that's not fun for me. Oh parker loves all rap. 05:47.60 Karli No. 05:55.50 Karli Um, so is he like a big fan of his. 06:03.61 Karli Like okay okay oh my gosh. 06:03.74 goodgriefjournals Okay I shouldn't say all rap like all good rappers. Yeah um, and so this was his very first like actual concert experience. Um, he had gone to like concerts in the park. You know like those free ones that they do. 06:20.56 Karli Yeah, but that's it. 06:23.52 goodgriefjournals He had got of those but he was like I don't like that and I was like okay well you can try something else and so he was like really nervous to go thinking he was going to hate it spending all this money going and then he was like it was Incredible. I Loved it. I Want to go again. Like I want to go to another one. So. 06:42.57 Karli Okay, so hots here like one I can't believe that he never like went to a full like concert because they're totally different than those like concerts in the park right? And oh andric Lamar I'm dying. 06:56.43 goodgriefjournals See but it's interesting. Yeah yes, and that was his very first. Um but also like I have only been to 1 concert like real in my life. Yeah. 07:01.30 Karli But so funny. Um. 07:06.82 Karli What. 07:11.72 goodgriefjournals And it was on us in like sixth grade. 07:16.20 Karli Oh my I Wish people could see my face right now I Love Concerts I Oh my God wait who was it the us. Ah, okay, who you ah just like did you like it. 07:18.12 goodgriefjournals Um, he I know yeah should daisy. Yeah. 07:33.70 Karli You just didn't ever want to go to another one. You just don't like music enough you like don't care. Yeah yeah I Okay okay yeah. 07:34.23 goodgriefjournals I just. 07:39.81 goodgriefjournals I think I just don't care enough to go also well I really like music I like so specific songs but not like artists themselves. It makes sense and so like with like the Kendrick Lamar 1 parker was like do you want to go and I was like. 07:52.71 Karli Yeah. 07:57.52 goodgriefjournals I mean I know some of his songs but I like don't know enough that it would be like a fun experience for me where I could like sing along to all of them like I would just be like bebopping around. You know, like you know, Honestly, that's how I felt it like the Chadaisy concert like I knew some of their songs but like not enough to like. 07:59.19 Karli Yeah. 08:06.10 Karli Yeah. Yeah, okay. 08:15.90 goodgriefjournals Belt Everyone which I feel like you're to have a fun concert experience. You have to know the songs. Yeah, and. 08:19.72 Karli Yeah, it makes like such a big difference. No I totally agree and I think like who you go with to makes a big difference like. There's certain people that it's just like ok you are like really fun to go to concerts with I'll shout out my friend Jess and we'll see if she listens to this but she has really to go to concerts with like whenever one of us wants to go I always message her because there's just something about like going with somebody that will like. 08:40.19 goodgriefjournals Um. 08:49.37 Karli Singing really loud and dance around and like not care. It makes a big difference. So I can't even believe that though I'm I'm dying. Well well happy for Parker that he finally went. 08:51.26 goodgriefjournals Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's that we are not concert goers and yep. So we'll see which ones he goes to next because he popped the concert bug. Um, but while he was gone I painted our basement apartment. Um, just a nice neutral gray and Charlie got 2 teeth which was not fun. 09:10.81 Karli Oh My gosh. Hey. Yeah, not Fun. Oh does he have a rough tie with teething. Okay, yeah. 09:27.40 goodgriefjournals Ah, he um yes Berkeley didn't like like I don't know dealt with it but Charlie like you will wake up in the middle of the night and cry and like it's just really sad. Honestly, um, but. 09:43.27 Karli Ah. 09:45.10 goodgriefjournals They finally popped through and he seems to be a lot happier since then so hopeful yeah is over for a couple of weeks before he gets his next one? um and the other thing that I've been doing a lot is I have been making time to read like books like actual books. 09:46.49 Karli Good. Yeah,, that's good. Um, yeah. 10:01.48 Karli Wow! yeah. 10:04.99 goodgriefjournals Yeah, it's yeah, it's been kind of fun I just decided one day that I was going to use my phone to read and I actually find myself reading instead of scrolling through Instagram which is kind of crazy. So yeah, but that. 10:18.79 Karli Yeah, what are you beating. 10:25.97 goodgriefjournals Okay I laugh because the book that I'm reading right now. It sounds like it's gonna be like so sketchy but it's not. It's just a memoir So it's um, it's rolled down the rabbit hole. 10:37.33 Karli So um, is what don. 10:42.54 goodgriefjournals And it is a memoir from um one of Hugh Heffner's like indian girlfriends and like yeah yeah, like what it was like play a man again and like. 10:44.57 Karli Or you have met like oh interesting I feel like I've heard of but like I've heard somebody else mention this yeah like and. 10:58.94 goodgriefjournals Living there and like being one of the girlfriends and all that jazz and like how she got out of it.

Okay. 11:16.51 goodgriefjournals I Mean they they talk about like sex and stuff but like not like in detail or any like it very.

So we're really excited I'll report back. 14:03.89 goodgriefjournals Um, listen yeah yeah, think so. 14:05.34 Karli Two weeks after you right? I think it when and was so funny because when we were in cabo they had like this little kids show on like a stage and Boston didn't want to have anything to do with it like they were having like a dance party and they were like doing all these games nothing he was just standing there staring and they were like come up on stage. He can't want to. They had this weird looking turtle come on like in like this costume walk on stage and he goes mom hold turtle's hand and I was like do you want to go up on stage hold turtle's hand hold turtle's hand and I was like okay like we can go up on stage but like I don't think you can hold his hand. 14:41.55 goodgriefjournals Um. 14:44.85 Karli Like he's dancing like we're dancing with him so we like walk up there I should maybe post it when this video goes live but he like starts reaching his handout and like slowly trying to like walk away from me to like go over towards this turtle. He literally talked about that turtle. 14:58.61 goodgriefjournals But. 15:03.45 Karli Nonstop for days like after we left Cabo and we were like no like we can't see turtle again but like we're gonna go see Mickey soon and he'd like and go mommy. Go see Mickey Mini pluto and kayu turtle and we what. 15:09.37 goodgriefjournals I think. 15:20.30 goodgriefjournals Um, oh. 15:20.97 Karli Um, not the turtle you can go see me so don't know whether he's no like show up to Disney that and be stoked that he's seeing Mickey or just really disappointed that turtle's not there. 15:31.27 goodgriefjournals Yeah, maybe go on that like ah crushes adventure. Whatever yeah, um, something else that was so funny about our Disney trip so we wanted to get like new outfits like. 15:35.40 Karli Yeah, you love that. So that's a good point. We'll just go there. Good point who. 15:48.32 goodgriefjournals Disney shirts for our kids and so we just went to Walmart because we're cheap skates and it's easy. Yeah yeah, they have like you disney stuff and so we went to yesterday. 15:48.45 Karli Ah, yeah. 15:52.23 Karli But they have way good stuff there like Mormar and Target honestly have really good like yeah. 16:05.10 goodgriefjournals I took Berkeley to Walmart and I was like we're gonna go get you an outfit for Disneyland and she's all oh I I am so excited to get outfit for Disneyland and then she sat there and she thought about it for a second. She's like mom you go to Disneyland I stay home with Daddy and Charlie and mozzy and I was like Berkeley they're coming with us like. 16:10.26 Karli Oh. 16:18.40 Karli Well. Um, yeah, like everything. Um. 16:24.14 goodgriefjournals That we're all going and she was like they're coming and I was like yes and she just was like oh mom I so excited to go to Disneyland with Momma and Charlie and Daddy so you. 16:38.30 Karli Um, oh that ghost here. Ah, best. 16:40.70 goodgriefjournals So yeah, I'm really excited I think she's going to lose her little mind and it's just going to be so fun and Charlie's just going to be there for the ride because he doesn't care. Yeah, yeah, eight months 16:47.26 Karli Yeah I mean yeah, they don't understand. It's going. Well wait how long is he. Okay, we actually took Boston to Disney world when he was eight months and it actually like was more fun than I thought it was gonna be we mainly went because we missed it but he didn't totally understand what was going on. 16:57.91 goodgriefjournals Yeah. 17:05.52 goodgriefjournals Um, okay, okay I Yeah yeah. 17:12.16 Karli But like it was pretty funny to like see his face on the rise just like so wide eyed and like oh my gosh and like you love small world and it was still cool like you could just see that he was like soaking it all in and like having fun so it'll be better than I think you'll know. 17:18.10 goodgriefjournals Um, William. 17:23.79 goodgriefjournals Yeah, well and I feel like yeah I feel like Boston and Charlie are really similar in that they like both love people and so like Charlie just loves being around people. He like lights up when there's like a big group of people which is. 17:30.74 Karli To. That. 17:41.95 Karli Um, yeah. 17:43.70 goodgriefjournals Really weird because that is not any of the rest of our family to be honest, we would rather just know be by ourselves. But Charlie is like stoked in a groove. So yeah, that's it yeah, it'll be way fun shall we get speaking of like dressing up in costumes should we get on. 17:46.15 Karli So funny. 17:54.70 Karli I'll see that that'll be so fun. 17:59.92 Karli Yes. 18:02.70 goodgriefjournals But with our episode and talk about our family Halloween costume ideas. Funny costumes stuff like that. 18:06.82 Karli Yes I know we thought it would be fun to kind of give you guys some of our favorite Halloween costumes that we've like worn or seen and then in case you guys are still looking and then at the end of the episode. We asked you guys to submit some stories or just some like. Funny costumes that you guys have seen so we'll be sharing some of those as well. So all right sh start so one of my favorite hallowen cost of ideas that I've ever done. We did this when we had just our dog lou. 18:32.67 goodgriefjournals Yes. 18:42.85 Karli Um I dressed up as Mike Wasowski and then Kyle was solely and we dress lew up as boo and I it was one of my favorite costumes. It was really fun. Yeah. 18:51.69 goodgriefjournals Yeah, it's so fun. Um, this is a good one for if you're pregnant too because you can house can have your bump be like the eyeball. Um, we were going to do that last year before all hell broke loose with me and into like preterm labor. 19:05.97 Karli Um, yeah. 19:08.11 goodgriefjournals Um, but I be Mike Waszowski Parker was going to be solely Berkeley was going to be boo and then our dog mozzy was going to be the ah scream canister. So there's a fun addition. 19:15.97 Karli But lover yeah, that's a really good idea. That's so fun I also like this one because Kyle doesn't love I mean he's actually come around to it a lot more. But when we were first married he was kind of like I don't really care to dress up but like I want to do it because he knows I wanted to. 19:32.38 goodgriefjournals Is it. 19:34.16 Karli So it was nice because solely I just put him in like a blue shirt and put some like purple Polka dots. So it's also a really good idea if you're looking for something that's not over the top but still kind of like fun. So um, another one. Oh perfect. Sorry. 19:42.46 goodgriefjournals Yeah, yeah, ah, you're good. Go ahead. 19:52.26 Karli Ah, another one that we've done is the classic like Mickey Minnie and Pluto. We didn't even dress up our dog. We just said he was pluto but it worked. 20:02.19 goodgriefjournals Yeah, totally works um another pregnancy friendly 1 um that we work again. We're gonna do. But then my preterm labor also killed that so we just had mossy dress up but um was the emperor's new groove. 20:11.69 Karli So. 20:18.11 goodgriefjournals And Parker was going to be pacha I was going to be that pregnant mom and then we had mazzie be a lama. Yeah who so good. 20:25.30 Karli That's so fun I love that bur's new groove so good. Um, another one. We've done was we're big like. Sports fans so Kyle just wore some basketball stuff is like Jersey so he was a basketball player I was a cheerleader and then a her dog. You can get costumes on like Amazon I found this one at Target a couple years ago but it just says rougheree. 20:49.48 goodgriefjournals City. 20:51.11 Karli For like refer and I don't know why I laughed way too hard when I saw that costume and I bought it and then made our costumes matching so I was like this dark costume is way too funny. But I love it. Yeah. 20:59.55 goodgriefjournals Um, it's so good. Um, we also were slices of pizza and so parker's friends had like these pizza costumes that they've just like recycled over the years because they're like really well-made. 21:13.83 Karli Yeah, yeah. 21:16.81 goodgriefjournals So we borrowed those and then we got Mozzy won like a pizza slice like fit over his head so that like his head poked out but then he had the pizza slice around him so we were all pizza prices. Um, they really are. But if you wanted to like. 21:21.13 Karli Amazing. 21:27.63 Karli Um, dark costume. So funny. 21:33.58 goodgriefjournals Add more people or something you could also have like a chef for that one which we didn't yeah. 21:45.99 Karli That's a good idea too. Um, another the first costume we ever did when we got married was a cookie monster so I was a cookie monster and Kyle was my cookie so you could like have a bunch of cookies or whatever. But. I remember that was my first year teaching kindergarten and but he showed up like to my kindergarten class and the kids thought it was so funny I mean they'll think anything's funny when they're 5 but I think that's a good one. 22:05.30 goodgriefjournals Totally yeah, that is a good one and again I feel like that's super easy for like the husband who doesn't want to dress up super super. So um, this year 22:10.75 Karli Yeah, yeah, it was like brown shirt Black Polka Dots call the gift. 22:20.35 goodgriefjournals Um, I'm just going to spoil it now. But this year we're planning on being the office characters. So it's going to be Dwight Angela is your Berkeley's Goingnna be Angela um I'm going to be Pam Parker's gonna be Jan and then Michael Mosey's going to be Michael Scott 22:26.10 Karli Oh my Oh my god. 22:38.50 Karli Oh my gosh. How are you gonna do that with a dog like those 2 Okay gosh. That's amazing I love that that's so good. Um, okay, another one I know a lot of these. 22:39.13 goodgriefjournals Just get like a a so tuxedo or a suit and that yeah go for. But yeah, we're pretty excited about that. 22:55.85 Karli Are Disney but we're big Disney fans. So and I think honestly it's really fun I feel like Disney Costumes are really like they're well known so like everybody knows who you are which makes it like really nice and they're easier to find too a couple years ago we did Alice in Wonderland characters. 22:56.60 goodgriefjournals Um, yeah, ah, you'll just. 23:09.41 goodgriefjournals And. 23:15.52 Karli So I was Alice Kyle is the mad hatter and then our 2 dogs were tweedled the and tweedled them and I really like that the tweedled the and tweedled them ended up being really really fun and I just like made those costumes I actually in the show notes I'll put a link. 23:20.14 goodgriefjournals Oh yeah. 23:32.30 Karli Um, to a blog post I did that shows how to make all these dog costumes um with like links where to find them too because I actually really liked the tweedled they tweedled them one. So thanks. 23:39.27 goodgriefjournals Um, yeah, yeah, they were really cute. Um, our first ah costume as a couple who was parker was. Light alert button and then I was an old lady that had fallen down but was yeah well it was really awkward because we went to like a family party dressed up as that and nobody got the joke and I was what it. 23:58.80 Karli Stop. Why do I not know this? Ah yes. 24:12.19 Karli Like what did they not that Yes, that's funny. That's hilarious. How I follow I wake up. 24:12.23 goodgriefjournals What's the point of this but they well they were like I guess that's funny and we were like no this is hilarious. Yeah, so all those people we just had a white shirt drew a red big giant red button and put like life alert on the top. 24:30.70 Karli Yeah, easy one too. Yeah, that's so funny I love it. Ah um, another one we've done is we were the incredibles characters that was 1 year where I didn't want to like make anything. Oh no, no. 24:31.45 goodgriefjournals Super easy for the husband. Yeah. 24:48.42 Karli This one I did make something which one was anyway, there was another one or I didn't want to make anything the incredibles you can just buy those shirts on like Amazon for Kyle and I and then for the dogs I just got red like sweater vest and ironed on. The incredible symbol. So its super easy. But yes self that was fun. 25:08.93 goodgriefjournals Oh like? Yeah super easyezy. Um, this was something that my sister did last year her family did and it was genius so they did the grinch and 1 of her boys was the Grinch another one was max. And then their daughter was Cindy Lou who and then they just dressed up in pajamas to be huge who's like super easy and then they put them all in a wagon for the sled and yeah it was really funny and really cute. 25:30.20 Karli Hey, that's my. Oh cute. Yeah, and that's like a good one for actually trick or treatating because like one is a parent.. You're comfortable and you have like a wagon to like carry your kids. 25:45.41 goodgriefjournals Um, yeah, and. 25:50.78 Karli So they're not like crying because they've been walking especially like toddlers and stuff. 25:53.21 goodgriefjournals Yes, also that one's a good one for pregnancy too. You can be the grinch as a pregnant person and have you know I thought about that but plans spoiled town. 26:00.88 Karli That's a good idea. Yeah here's a good idea. Yeah oh well, um, another one we've done just like going to Disneyland during fall time is dressing up as hipster Disney characters. You can find hipster Disney shirts like on websites I know hello Friday apparel I think or shop Friday apparel has some but mine was ariial I can't even remember what my shirt says now I should have written it down but I was like Ariel I had like big glasses and like a giant. Green bow in my hair and then like skinny green jeans and then like the hipster t-shirt that like had some clever Ariel with saying and then Kyle just dressed up as Prince Eric and like a red jacket like white shirt and skinny jeans so that was like a really easy one and it was fun to just like. 26:54.94 goodgriefjournals Is it. 26:54.94 Karli Wear that around Disney so it wasn't like costume but you still felt like you were kind of dressed up at Halloween time. 27:01.95 goodgriefjournals Yeah, um, this is another easy one. We went as 90 s kids and then we just stuck a t wide tag on Mozzy and called them a beanie baby. So yeah, very easy. 27:07.17 Karli You would. Oh that's clever. What did you guys do for like the 90 S kid 27:20.33 goodgriefjournals Um, oh like just like regular clothes. Basically yeah yeah, just like 90 s yeah. 27:23.45 Karli Like all whatever yeah, ah like you one? Um, let's see when was this two years ago so Boston's first Halloween we dressed up as winnie the pooh characters. So I was one eat the pooh and Boston was my pot of honey and then Kyle was tigger and Lexixi was eore no sorry Lou was eore because he is a grump and so we had to make sure he was eore and then Lexixi was piglet. So. 27:56.62 goodgriefjournals Cute. Yeah um, Berkeley's first Halloween so she loved playing like blast off when she was little like tiny tiny and so she was an astronaut and I was an astronaut and then Mozzy was a rocket. 27:57.62 Karli Yeah, yeah. 28:04.34 Karli Oh q. 28:13.52 goodgriefjournals It was another one of those like face costumes and her was um, an alien It was very easy. Yeah. 28:18.62 Karli Oh it's fun. Yeah, that is easy to those are like the best ones like the easy ones I like started getting to a prime where I was like okay I need easy I don't this year. It's been like I've been having to like piece things together and I'm like am I really wanting to do this. 28:27.75 goodgriefjournals In this mess. Yes. 28:37.79 Karli I'm excited for it. It'll be worth it. But last year we went as frozen characters so I was on a ky was christoph and Boston was ol off and he was a stinking cue. It was so cute. Ah yeah, that one was probably 1 of my favorites and it was nice because. 28:46.51 goodgriefjournals I was so cute I was so. 28:55.98 Karli Just bottom all I was like I'm not even dealing with this so that was also really nice costume expensive. So that part was kind of a bummer but it turned out really? yeah yeah sometimes I'm like I don't want to deal. 28:59.10 goodgriefjournals Yeah. 29:05.75 goodgriefjournals It's worth it to not piece that though like you said yeah, um and then with Berkeley when she was a tiny baby. Um, we also did a ghost um and then we just use a pillow case and cut holes. The ice and it works perfectly and yeah it it actually was very adorable I'll have to find the picture and share it in the show notes or like on our story or something because it was so cute. 29:24.86 Karli That's yeah, she. 29:34.95 Karli Yeah I know we'll have to make sure that we're like remembering like what I said I would share stories So I don't forget Um, okay so my last one that I was gonna share is what we're being this year and I'm really really excited about it. So we're going as Goofy movie characters. 29:41.90 goodgriefjournals Right. 29:52.52 Karli Kyle is gonna be max and I'm going to be Roxanne and then Boston's gonna be power line and I'm so excited for that gonna be so I know it's gonna be good and then. 29:53.59 goodgriefjournals Um, yeah, oh my gosh that will be so good. 30:06.39 Karli Memphis is gonna be pj which I also think is gonna be funny because he does have like the little bellya. It's gonna be cute and then we're going with Kyle's brother and his girlfriend and they're gonna be Bobby and Stacey. So we've got like. 30:09.77 goodgriefjournals Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll be. 30:21.12 goodgriefjournals Um, yes. 30:22.25 Karli Whole gang. So I was excited that they like wanted to join with us. So. 30:24.79 goodgriefjournals I just hope that Bobby has string cheese like I feel like itsa like had string cheese like in his pocket. Yeah, because that's like yeah. 30:28.56 Karli I Should we have to make sure he does that he's like I around saying like leaning tower of Chesa over and over. That show is like so Incredible. So incredible. 30:51.24 goodgriefjournals Mas er so but um so I have 1 more like costume idea and then I also have like a list of like some of my favorite. 31:01.89 Karli Perfect. Okay said. 31:01.99 goodgriefjournals Like people to follow around Halloween because they have like good stuff. Um, so the last cost you ideas just like a star wars jedi theme. You know, have Darth Theaterre Lea Yoda Ray a wookie for your dog stuff like that. 31:13.99 Karli Yeah, that's a good idea. 31:18.45 goodgriefjournals Um, but then the people that I really like following that have had super good family costumes recent in recent years are girl loves glam. She hand makes all of her costumes but they are no so costumes so like you don't go anything which um. 31:31.90 Karli Oh my God That's nice. 31:37.50 goodgriefjournals Yeah, and she like shares tutorials about how to make each of the costumes. Um and then today's the best day Danielle she buys her costumes which I am not judging whatsoever because it is so hard to put together costumes and make costumes but be also like. 31:52.49 Karli For Rels for real. 31:56.88 goodgriefjournals Kind of pieces things together so she like makes they makes the outfits like I don't know like 1 year they did wreckit ralph and she like bought overalls on Amazon and stuff like that. Um, yeah, um, and then Shelby from return journey yoga. Um, so. 32:06.20 Karli Yeah, yeah. 32:15.54 goodgriefjournals Just share my favorites that they've done in recent years so like I said Danielle and her family did today's or did wreckit ralph and then recently ah Mackenzie from girl ups glam did Peter Pam and Peter Pan and they did Disney treats 1 year so 32:30.70 Karli I Remember seeing when that was so cute. 32:35.26 goodgriefjournals Like Mickey waffle and like ah stuff like that is really really cute a churro um and then Danielle did the greatest showman so they like did a bunch of characters from the greatest showman and that was super cute. Um today is no return journey yoga did hot rod. 32:52.32 Karli My God The best. 32:54.50 goodgriefjournals And it was hysterical. It was so funny. She had her little baby be Rod and they like had all the things it was so funny and so cute. 33:00.62 Karli God I need to go look that up because we love hot Rod over here. 33:07.97 goodgriefjournals Yeah, it was so cute and then the other one that I just loved that they did was a car salesman in the Blowup like wavy and the wind guy and she like those yeah it was so funny. Her husband like had these like really big glasses and like a mustache and like a. 33:18.34 Karli That's a good idea. 33:25.39 goodgriefjournals Really crappy Sue and then she was like the blow up character and it was so funny so I was a good one. But yeah, do you want to start with one of your childhood stories and then I'll go with the one that I could remember. 33:31.80 Karli That's amazing. That is a good idea. 33:39.43 Karli Yeah, yeah, so yeah, we'll just kind of share some funny Halloween costume stories that were like sent in and then so for mine I don't have like a ton of Halloween costume stories that I can remember. But I just remember wanting to be a princess and my mom was really big into like making our Halloween costumes but no offense to my mom and if she's listening to this sorry mom. She's not the best so or and so very simple. But she was also very very adamant that we wear our coats underneath our costume because we live in Utah really cold and so I hated that like more than anything because my mom would make this princess costume like. 34:20.99 goodgriefjournals Smith. 34:34.92 Karli 5 sizes too big. So my huge puffy coat could fit underneath it so I was walking around like this giant I don't even know like pink that princess but it didn't really look like a princess because it's just this like rectangular pink dress. 34:45.92 goodgriefjournals Yes. 34:53.13 Karli With my co underneath and I just remember being like I do not look like a princess I look so dumb right now. So not something that I've always like oh sorry mom. She she tried but I do yeah it was fun. 34:54.16 goodgriefjournals Um, one was. 35:06.81 goodgriefjournals That's so funny. Yeah, um, so my story because ok I have to admit as a child I did not like Halloween like I don't like scary still I don't I don't really like dressing up. 35:16.67 Karli I didn't either. 35:22.42 goodgriefjournals And so like I just was like not into it. Um, but we always did like because we had like a ward trick or tree or or trunk or tree where we would like decorate cars and what not. But um, yeah, so like I don't really have like. 35:23.81 Karli Yeah, yeah. 35:33.80 Karli Yes. 35:40.30 goodgriefjournals Any memories from Halloween that I'm like yeah that was funny and I remember that but parker um, after his mission so he was like probably 22 22 at the time 21 ish around there him and his best friend. 35:42.53 Karli You ask. 35:58.16 goodgriefjournals Were those pizza costumes that I was telling you about and also these pizza costumes came with like a Chef's hat and like a French or Italian like mustache like a annobar mustache and they were going to a party together and so they were both. 35:59.11 Karli Oh. 36:05.79 Karli Oh must have. 36:16.80 goodgriefjournals Wearing these pizza costumes on the back of his scooter like his like motherru and so you just imagine these two like literal grown adult men dressed up with pizza on the sper I'll have to find the picture of that too and be not. They weren't on the spoer but it's them being. 36:18.98 Karli About. 36:25.31 Karli Yeah. 36:32.70 Karli That's funny that cost you yeah that is funny. That's so good. Um, so I have another one um Kyle was telling me him and his brother. Both had some good stories. 36:36.10 goodgriefjournals Ah, pizza. And yeah. 36:48.92 Karli They told him to me so I could share it so Kyle said all he wanted to be for Halloween 1 year was an alien and so he told his mom and his mom was also the same where it was like I'm gonna make all of your costumes, but she's a really good seamstress and so normally they worked out really well. 37:03.80 goodgriefjournals Yeah. 37:07.50 Karli So kle told his mom like I really want to be this alien and in Kyle's head he was picturing like 1 of those like Morph suits Morphe suits. Whatever they're called green like skin tight and like maybe some like you know, weird looking like eyes on top or something like that. 37:16.73 goodgriefjournals Um, yeah, yeah. 37:26.41 Karli So he tells his mom and his mom's like great like I'll make this costume so she like brings out this huge like Timberlake or timberwolves hoodie oversight. So it's like hers and he's like 10 and he's like where this and he already was like wait a second like. Why am I wearing this giant hoodie because and she puts the hood on and she is like gone those styrofoam balls like just drew a little face on it like that an alien and then put it in some pile is. 37:45.28 goodgriefjournals He asked. 37:57.80 goodgriefjournals Um, ah. 38:02.95 Karli So mad because really, what it was was this giant Hoodie Kyle's head and above Kyle's head another head halfway alien and he was like this is the stupidest costume doesn't look anything like an alien I look like I'm like some 2 headed monster. 38:17.22 goodgriefjournals Yeah. 38:20.60 Karli So he was not very happy about that costume but I can only imagine what that would look like and then another one. His little brother was like I'm going to be a dalmatian I want to be a damnalmatian so his mom like made him this cool Dmatian Costume 38:24.54 goodgriefjournals Yes, where. 38:38.38 Karli And then as kids do he was like actually I want to be a dragon so this was like a couple days before Halloween so instead of like changing costume. She just like made little like triangle cutouts and just like put them on the back of the dalmatian costume so he would like get down with like little I don't even know I guess and everybody said that he looked really weird so they when people asked you was just like i. 38:58.26 goodgriefjournals Um, so yeah, Dragon Doubt joke. Yeah. 39:08.50 Karli Ah, Dalmatian Dragon or something like that. But I thinking it like why did she like die the fabric right? like diet green because I can feel like dragons have spots. So like that what far would have been fine but I just thought it was funny. She was like oh fine, you just get some little like sp. 39:08.55 goodgriefjournals Um, let's stop. 39:17.71 goodgriefjournals Um, thing it's false. 39:26.84 goodgriefjournals Yeah, um, that was no not at all.
