Halloween 2009

Below is a brief photo montage of what Halloween was like at my house.


The little guy's pumpkin. He designed it and carved it this year (with supervision). One of the teeth sacrificed itself during the carving process. The little guy said, "I wish it had 2 teeth. It probably would have been scarier with 2 teeth." Ummmmm, ok......



My pumpkin. If you know me, you'd understand. I don't do scary....


Hubs pumpkin. The little guy helped him pick out a design. Very nice!


Hubs preparing to go out at night. The glow stick is for safety. Do you think it's in a prominent enough position?


So nice I didn't even need boots!


I have two of the cutest guys in town! I'm not even sad one is a zombie.


Check out my his haul so far.


Met up with the little guy's buddy that lives across the street. Halloween is a lot more fun with a friend to get scared with!


I'm playing the part of the girl that manages to fall down 50 yards ahead of the zombies and still doesn't possess the skills to get up and run away....


More convincing when he puts his mask down. Wouldn't you agree?


Fun guy that performed a magic show for the kids after giving them candy. Too bad he ruined it by putting a business card in their Halloween bags.

Busy Afternoon

I had a busy afternoon. Sorry about the poor quality of the photo, took it with my phone. Fun and easy to make! Thanks for the hair band idea JK!

Do I really look like that?

I am beginning this post by showing you what I really look like. Pay no attention to my son. He's sporting the "what's that smell" look. There was no smell, it was windy and he was chatty. We caught him in mid chat.


I wore a 'costume' at the Trunk or Treat event at my school. I'm not one for dressing up in an entire get up. I spent most of my creative energy on the car (which wasn't that much). So, when the little guy and I went to the grocery store a couple of days before the event, I picked up some goofy glasses and teeth to throw on. So long as I didn't need to put on gloppy makeup, I was happy.....until I saw a photo of myself.




Stop taking that drink before you see this.







Honestly......................













I wondered why my adult friends were laughing SO HARD! A couple of them said they wouldn't have know it was me if they hadn't seen me put the getup on. I'm thinking that's a good thing.

Trunk or Treat

Guess who won for "Most Creative" at this evening's Trunk or Treat? My kindergarten kiddos loved it! It was totally worth freezing my feet, fingers, and part of my tush off. Now how will I top myself next year?

What do you do with 20 lbs of apples?

Can them! I'm sterilizing the jars right now. Then, look out. (pictures to come when finished).

If we ask him, he might come......
