Boo at the Zoo with my niece, and somehow I’m the one who needs my own treat bucket 🍬

In 2006 it was sugar dipped in sugar. In 2026 I packed fruit and Greek yogurt, then ate three chocolates while explaining I’d only had one

In 2006 we picked a DVD and shared a bowl of popcorn. In 2026 I’ve put the snacks in nice bowls and we still haven’t picked a movie 😂

Cleo came over for a scary film. I mostly wanted company and dip

Little mummy dogs in 2006, one giant pastry in 2026 because I thought that would be less work. Cleo would like a word 🫠

In 2006 we unwrapped every caramel and somehow ate half of them first. In 2026 we made an apple board and called it easier. Either way, it ended up on my cardigan 🍎

In 2006 he fit in a storage bin, in 2026 I’m wondering if he counts as a roommate 💀

Cleo came over to help with one little decoration and honestly, I thought it would be quick too

Took my niece Poppy to see the goats and somehow made it a walking tour 🌽

In 2006 I was confidently reading the map wrong. In 2026 my phone confirmed we were in a field. Cleo was very patient

Tomorrow we’re taking on the front yard, and I’ve already bought something ridiculous 🎃 Follow for more 2006 vs 2026

I told my niece we were going for one pumpkin 🎃

In 2006 I brought crackers and came home with the biggest pumpkin I could carry. In 2026 I packed a whole wagon, cut the fruit into pumpkins and still wiped my fingers on my own sleeve

Turns out the best photo was the one we stopped trying to get right 🤍

In 2006 we tried it on. In 2026 I opened twelve tabs and forgot to check the size 🦆

My niece Poppy got a costume-shopping day. Somehow her auntie got a duck suit

This weekend I’m taking her to the pumpkin patch 🎃 Follow for more 2006 vs 2026

We went to @target for batteries and came home with a ghost 👻

In 2006 I wanted every orange light in the aisle. In 2026 I need to know if the ghost comes in cream. Cleo really should have held the basket

Tomorrow I’m helping my niece choose her Halloween costume and apparently she’s in charge 🎃 Follow for more 2006 vs 2026

In 2006 it needed more gummy worms. In 2026 it needs to match the table 🎃

We said we’d bring snacks and got a little carried away, but Cleo’s priorities haven’t changed

2006: the coat would ruin the outfit. 2026: the outfit is basically a blanket 😂

Cat ears, digital cameras and a new MySpace photo… which era are you choosing?

In 2006 we picked the weirdest pumpkin we could carry. In 2026 it has to match the porch, the outfit and the water bottle 😂

Which one are you taking home?
