Halloween

Better late than never, right?
Acutally, I thought I had already posted these pictures...but I guess it was just on facebook.

We had fun decorating out house. You can't really see him, but we've got a mummy who talks, hiding behind the post at the top of the stairs. Dan thinks I sound just like him. Great. That's flattering.

 I don't remember where I saw this idea, but I thought they were really cute. As we'd finish a jug of milk,  one of the kids or I would put a face on it, and we'd place it with the rest of the collection. Cheap, cute, and can be thrown away!(ahem...recycled)

I had lots of fun decorating the shelves and even more fun not worrying about dusting these shelves for the whole month!

I later made this wreathe from spray-painted white roses. I liked how it filled in that blaringly blank spot. 

What's Halloween without getting "boo'd!". 

Apparently, someone(S) didn't read the directions that you have to "Boo" someone who does NOT have a ghost in their window, stating that they have already been "boo'd". 

We got Boo'd

and Boo'd

and Boo'd

I think 5 times. We enjoyed all the treats, but only kept the original "boo" going. 

Now for the cuteness:

Chelsea dressed as a mummy this year.

Michael was Darth Vader. He has no idea who Darth Vader is but wanted to "be something with a light saber". Whatever. 

Brinly was Dorothy. The CUTEST dorothy. Ever. 

She was so attached to her basket and "Toto" that she didn't let go the entire ward party.

Just in case you didn't get enough:

(sigh....)

I wanted to go as Rosie the Riveter, but when I went to put on my "costume", but I looked so stupid, so I convinced Dan to go as my "rival" high school sweetheart. Turns out we were wearing the local rival high school colors. oops. (Notice Dan has a lipstick kiss on his cheek. ooh lah lah lah!)

Since Halloween was on Sunday, we let the kids dress up and pass out the candy. Unfortunately, we only had about 4 customers. Oh well. Lots more candy for me!
