TRICK OT TREAT...

FRIDAY NIGHT ALAINA AND HER FAMILY CAME OUT TO THE HOUSE TO DO SOME TRICK OR TREATING WITH US. THE WEATHER WAS SO NICE AND THE KIDS WERE VERY EXCITED! THE KIDS RAN FROM DOOR TO DOOR AND LITTLE ARIAH JUST HAD ALL SHE COULD DO TO WALK IN HER PURPLE DRAGON COSTUME LET ALONE CARRY HER CANDY BAG. IT WAS SO CUTE TO WATCH HER WADDLE AND STRUGGLE. THE KIDS WENT AROUND 2 BLOCKS AND FILLED UP THEIR BAGS QUICKLY...THIS IS A CUTE PICTURE OF LEXIE AND TESLA DRESSED UP AS WITCHES... WE ENDED THE NIGHT BY HAINGING OUT AT THE NEIGHBORS. THEY ALWAYS HAVE A HUGE GROUP OF NEIGHBORS GET TOGETHER AND EAT DINNER AROUND THE FIRE PIT THAT THEY PUT IN THEIR DRIVEWAY.WE HAD YUMMY HOMEMADE CHILI AND HOTDOGS, HOT APPLE CIDER AND SMORES. THE GIRLS WARMED UP BY HAVING SOME YUMMY APPLE CIDER AND THEN HUNG OUT AROUND THE FIREPIT TO STAY WARM. LATER IN THE EVENING CODY AND PYPER STOPPED BY AND HUNG OUT FOR A WHILE. THEY HAD AWESOME COSTUMES... I REALLY ENJOYED HALLOWEEN NIGHT. WHO NEEDS TRICKS OR TREATS WHEN YOU HAVE GOOD FRIENDS, YUMMY FOOD, A WONDERFUL FAMILY, AND GREAT MEMORIES!

HALLOWEEN PARTY!

FRIDAY NIGHT WE MADE IT TO 2 PARTIES. FORGOT THE CAMERA AT THE FIRST ONE. BUT WE STOPPED AND BROUGHT IT ALONG TO THE WHITNEYS PARTY. I MADE 2 OF THESE REALLY CUTE HALLOWEEN TREATS. I JUST LOVE THE BLOODY EYEBALLS ( POWDER DONUTS) AND THE CENTIPEDE ( COOKIES AND CHOC FROSTING) I THOUGHT THEY TURNED OUT SO CUTE. THE KIDS REALLY SEEMED TO ENJOY THEM! THE KIDS PLAYED PIN THE BAT ON THE MOON AND RAN AROUND JUST PLAYING WITH EACHOTHER IN THEIR COSTUMES! I WANTED TO TAKE EVERYONES PICTURE WHILE THEY WERE IN COSTUMES BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED.HERE IS A PICTURE OF US....ZACH WAS BOB MARLEY. LEXIE WAS A WITCH...I WAS LITTLE MISS MUFFET....AND JEFF WAS A SPIDER. THIS IS RYAN, ALAINA, AND THE GIRLS... BEN, TASHA, BOSTON, AND LINCOLN... I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF ZACH AND I..JUST CUTE!!! I DIDNT GET PICTURES OF ANYONE ELSE...I GUESS I WAS A SLACKER. I WAS TOO BUSY PLAYING WITH THESE 2 CUTE LITTLE GIRLS...MADDIE AND ARIAHWE LEFT THE PARTY KINDA EARLY THAT NIGHT DUE TO LEXIE WAS NOT FEELING VERY WELL. BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME HANGING OUT WITH OUR FRIENDS. I JUST LOVED ALL THE CREATIVITY THAT PEOPLE PUT INTO THEIR COSTUMES!

CARVING PUMPKINS

THURSDAY NIGHT WE CARVED OUR PUMPKINS. JEFF WASNT ABLE TO STAY FOR VERY LONG DUE TO GETTING CALLED INTO WORK. JEFF AND LEXIE DID THE PART I HATE THE MOST....GUTTING THEM OUT. I FIND THAT JUST, NASTY! LEXIE HAD THE JOB OF TAKING CARE OF THE SEEDS. WHICH I MUST ADMIT SHE DID A FABULOUS JOB. THEY TASTED SO YUMMY! I HAVE FOUND THAT ZACH REALLY ENJOYS CARVING PUMPKINS...HE GETS TO PLAY WITH KNIVES! YA SCARY!!!!
HIS PUMPKINS TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD! LEXIE DOESNT REALLY WANT TO DO ANY CARVING. SO SHE DRAWS ON HERS AND THEN I CARVE THE FACE FOR HER. SHE REALLY LOVED THE TONGUE THAT SHE DREW ON HERS. I LOVE HANGING OUT WITH MY KIDS! I WISH JEFF COULD HAVE STAYED BUT WHAT DO YOU DO?... LEXIE ARRANGED THEM ON THE COUNTER SO THAT WHEN JEFF GOT HOME HE COULD SEE THEM. :)
