The Big Night

Belle was very excited about posing with "The Witch". The hat, black shirt and black toenail polish were the best I could do for a costume. We had a yummy dinner, when I say "we" I am mostly referring to the adults since we could barely get the kids to eat anything. We had Gerilyn and her family over, making this an official tradition, three years running.

 

Aloe and Abby settled right into their "chariot". Batman tried to sneak in the back..

 

Grandpa set up his post to pass out the goodies. It was such a beautiful, perfect night. It was warm and clear out. Thank you San Diego for being such an awesome place to live!

 

Here's the crew all set to go. This was the only time we got them all in one spot long enough to take a snapshot. Come to think of it, are we missing anyone from this picture? who knows? How does G do it? At least she had help from her Mom and S arrived later. But, seriously, she deserves major kudos for getting 6 all dressed up!

 

I love this shot of James with Mariner's Grandma. He wanted to see if she knew how to shoot a duct tape gun. Not too bad!

 

Now where else could you find the inflatble headless horseman but at our neighborhood Medevial-times-fanatic house? Way to go, David, for looking tough.

 

What's up? Not enough houses to trick-or-treat at on this block? Keep moving on sister....

 

Sign Waving

I could not have been happier than to spend a morning with these studs! I can't imagine how dull it would have been to stand out there alone. It was slightly embarassing how much I enjoyed myself! People watching on a busy corner is one of my favorite pasttimes now.

 

I'm so proud of these parents of mine! My spunky Mom even weathered a heckler with grace. (Notice her stragetic placement on the sidewalk.)

 

Belmont Village

Abby got to sing for her first offical audience. (Other than family, of course.) She glowed in the spotlight! She belted out all the spooky lyrics in perfect tone. Randy, Paula and Simon would have definietly sent her on to Hollywood. Her costume choice was perfect too, don't you think?

 

 

"So delicious and it's good for YOU!"

 

Good thing the boys didn't have school so they could tag along and score some candy too!!

 

For Me?

Today the UPS guy actually stopped at my house. Usually he stops at my neighbor's house. She's a QVC power shopper. The FedEx frequents our address too since Mark started his new gig at IMS. But, today was my day! I was so excited to have a package addressed to me! My bud Heather had a giveaway on her blog and I won this Halloween treat. I love it! Tomorrow I will be smellling just like a piece of pumpkin pie, one of my favorite desserts, thanks to the yummy body wash, bubble bath, shampoo combo. Brilliant idea by the way, I thought they only made a three-in-one in kid's flavors.
Thanks Heather!
Be watching for my pay it forward tag coming soon....

Love That Donut Game

This classic game never fails to impress the 6 and under crew. David fully participated. By the way, even though it is very subtle, that is David's Halloween costume. He is "dressed up like a first grader." (Only kindergartners are allowed to dress up in costumes for Halloween at our school, but David was going undercover today.) Just in case you're wondering, that is David's little buddy, Mac with him in this picture.
