~Happy Halloween 2010~



Here are the halloween pictures of the cousins for 2010... I FINALLY got copies from Josh.

Thank you bro!!

I have to say though that the quality is a tad rough. I forgot my camera and had to use his....
blah.
Oh well, I am thankful we had one since I was an airhead.~

So here are this years choices for costumes...(in no particular order)

We have Lexi....going as an "evil" clown. This child SCARED me this year lol..


Next we have Mase....going as a jabberwocky!~ (a dance group that ROCKS!)


The witch and Indiana Jones....


Matthew...(I cant remember what he was called...lol)...


Group Shot!~ :)

It was kind of funny when we were deciding on costumes this year. Sam wasn't sure what to be, and had Mario in his head for a while...but the closer we got the more unsure. We were talking one day after school, and he decided he wanted to be Indiana Jones....so I jump on ebay and order it ASAP...well get myself into a bidding war really....but the costume looked SO cool.

yeah...note to self...

do NOT buy costumes without being able to see them. It was cute and all, but the hat was felt..so it looked more like a womans hat then Indiana Jones'....lol...actually the pants were felt too...(not up to fire code I'm sure)....and the jacket/shirt was one piece and looked a little "off". Well no matter..

Bug made it work...he rocked it out!~ :) He was happy with everything BUT the hat.

He knew. oh yes, He knew. lol

KK on the other hand....wanted to be pirate until she saw the costume Nana got her...(actually Nana got her 2..a fairy and a witch).... So she went from a swashbuckling pirate...to a nice witch...to a "green nice witch who is nice on the inside" (her words!~ lol)...

Wasnt interested in the ADORABLE light up fairy costume....

my daughter.

HUGE THANKS NANA for the costumes...:) You rock!~

So, anyway...Happy Halloween everyone....

until next year~~

P.S We went to Joshs friends neighborhood (you know, cause we live out in the boonies)...and let me tell you....we have more candy than Willy Wonka at this point. lol...And guess who hit the JACKPOT on chocolate and has 2 thumbs?

THIS GAL!~ :)

ADULT Halloween Party 2010

My brother Josh had a halloween party this year..for adults only. It was a BLAST!

Brad and I got different costumes.

Josh said my Cleopatra costume wasn't..and I quote.."good enough"...

So we did some last minute shopping and.....

He went has Goose and I went as Maverick from the movie "Top Gun"..

Some of the other costumes were HILARIOUS!!

We all had fun and even played a game of "who am I?"...where you get a sticker on your back with a famous person on it, and you go around asking yes or no questions and try to figure out who you might be! After you guessed you stuck the name in front and got another sticker. Person with the most stickers at the end of the night won. (there was only one person doing the sticking)...

Anywhere here are the pictures....(keep in mind it was ADULTS only, so no little innocent eyes were harmed in the process of this party! :) )

Munching away!~


Josh's friends..


Dave and Maryanne...

Jen...the Beer fairy! :)

These 2 were HILARIOUS!!...

Josh and Tee....(my bro)

The boys!~

The crew...

And last but not least...the hubster and I....

Goofing Off...

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN! :) Hip hip hooray!~

Pumpkin Carving 2010

Whooo Hoooo!~

This was the 1st year we ALL did our own pumpkin.

The kids had a BLAST!!

Sam went with one of those "tear out" designs...as did Brad.

Kk and I went old school and free handed ours.

Of course ours weren't as "cool" as the boys...I think they ALL came out cute! (though Brad would NOT agree with "cute")

Anyway here are the pumpkins we picked out and what they looked like before we butchered them.



Bug's choice in design...spooooooooooooky!~


Daddy getting the "guts" out...

Bugs pumpkin as we begin...NOTE TO SELF...buy a kit WITH a roller next time as the cork screw approach took WAY too long to poke those holes!

Bug begins carving....

Here is a video of them carving..(just click play)..

My goober! I mean, hubby. Not so funny making faces NOW is it honey?

His finished project...so proud...



KK and her jack-o-lantern...this is her evil look..yes, she has mastered it.


Daddy and his finished project....hehehehe and you wonder where KK gets her faces from!~..

The 4 finished pumpkins together...mine, Bugs, Daddys, and KK's....

Only posted this because of her crazy face....

Outside...waiting for it to get dark so we can light them...


Daddy and KK's all lit up...


Mine and Bugs...(mine is supposed to be scared...um....yeah...)...

The 4 finished LIT pumpkins... :) Whooo Hoo... SWEET!!!

Halloween is only 4 days away!~ We have Bugs cub scout "trunk or treat" on Friday and then Josh (my bro) is having a Halloween Party on Saturday...I am so excited!

Halloween is Sunday and we will probably head to Josh's for that as well so the cousins can be together.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!~

Halloween Party :)

Indiana Jones and the sweet witch of the south made an appearance! :)



Here are the friends that hosted the party... (thanks Brian and Kayte!)


We all dressed up! It was fun....I hadn't been to a costume party since college! :)

***side note*** I have to say though, that I have a BEEF with the costume makers these days...EVERY single costume I looked at was slutty. I mean the skirt reached the bottom of your butt, and they wanted to display all you had to offer!

Ummm....SO not appropriate for me to wear around KIDS! Let alone other men! lol

The ONLY thing I could find was Cleopatra...and even then I had to adjust the dress so that I wasn't "exposed" in the front! But I liked the end result and felt at least..."covered"... :)

Here is Bradley...the Zombie Convict....

And the 2 of us! :)


ANYWAY..

The kids had SUCH a blast....

Here are the 4 of them....(the 4 musketeers)..

And a video :)....:P....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!! BE SAFE!! (see you on the 31st!)
