Happy Halloweekend!

I know it's November now, but I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween weekend! I know we did! :)

Here are some of the highlights:
[Saturday night was the wedding reception for our cousins, who had a destination wedding back in August, it was a "Spooktacular" reception]

 The Bride and Groom aka Mario and Princess Peach [insert Super Mario Brother's theme music here - do do do do do do do]

 Bryan and me aka scary zombie and Snookie [my other costume fell through so this was the obvious replacement costume, it was fun though]

 He's always gotta be the scary one!

 Some of my favorite costumes [James the photographer aka Alan from "The Hangover"]

 The bride's dad and his girlfriend aka Paula Dean and Ron White

 Our best friend Steven and his girlfriend aka a penguin and banana [who knew the two could fall in love?! :)]


Sunday was spent with family, including my sister who had the pleasure of taking home the "electronic baby" for her Family and Consumer Science class. Hanna said, "Are you sure you want to be a mom? This is tough stuff!" I just giggled. "Yes Hanna, I'm most definitely positive."

Sunday evening was frightfully fun! Bryan's family gets together every year on Halloween and carries on a tradition of making a "Witch's Brew" (yummy stew) like his Grandma did every year. After our bellies were full and happy, it was time to take Sophia Trick or Treating!

 "Scary faces!"

Christine and Kim [my sister and mother in law] Love them both!

And last but certainly not least, our little "Strawberry Shortcake"! :) She just melts all of our hearts! I mean, how could she not?!

Our "Halloweekend" went by entirely too quick but was fabulous! I hope you all had a safe and eventful weekend also! What did you and your family dress up as?

Bippity, Bobitty, Boo!

I have two events to chronicle today, and they deal with pumpkins and a beautiful girl going to a ball. So of course I automatically think of one of the greatest film stars of all time - Cinderella, of course :)

This weekend has been exceptionally extraordinary! We ventured to the Kube 93.3 Haunted House on Friday night. I stayed outside, there was NO way I was going to be going in that scary house where people are jumping out at me and it's completely dark... no thank you! Bryan had fun though! I was surprised because he rarely if EVER gets scared, and I have it on good authority that he jumped a couple of times. I did get a good picture out of it at least :)

Saturday morning came and Hanna and I went and got pedicures together :) I love love LOVE pedicures! Which ended up being kind of pointless (You'll see why in a minute) In the afternoon we ventured to Maris Farms in Bonney Lake, the first time I'd ever been there, normally our pumpkin patch of choice is Spooner Farms. I'm glad we tried this one because it was SO much fun and had lots more for the kids to do! And I got to try out my brand new, super cute rubber boots! :)

After our pumpkin adventure it was time to head home and help Hanna and her best friend Carrie get ready for the ball :) (or Homecoming, same thing) I'm so proud to call Bryan my husband, I called him when Hanna and I were at the nail salon, because she asked me if Bryan and I could drive them in Bryan's car to the dance. She wanted to roll up in a cool car with the music blasting :) Bryan went out and got the car cleaned so it sparkled and went home and vacuumed the inside. What an awesome big brother in law :)

The girls looked beautiful, and it took all I had not to cry on the way home after dropping them off. And a sidenote, I think Hanna may be the only bridesmaid in the history of bridesmaids to wear her dress again, it looked even better on her this time :) All in all, FABULOUS weekend! Getting the house cleaned today and eating some stew and pumpkin carving tonight, October is half way over!

Scaredy Cat

Every year as the months draw closer to the fall I get excited! I love the chilly nights, cute rain boots, crunchy leaves, you name it, I love it. However, the one thing I don't love? Is October 31st. There, I said it. I hate, no I LOATHE October 31st. Why? Because I'm a big fat scaredy cat that's why! If it wasn't associated with ghost stories, zombies, and ax murderers maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

For example, I can't even watch a scary movie with my husband (who LOVES scary movies) because I will have nightmares for a month at least! This is a burden that has plagued me since I was about 14 years old. I just don't get it, before that I could watch all kinds of scary movies! Jaws, Children of the Corn, Are You Afraid of the Dark... etc. But the minute I saw "The Blair Witch Project" everything changed. I had nightmares about that movie for months! LOL Some of you may be laughing at me, but I'm serious, I am the biggest scaredy cat you've ever met! I think there comes a realization that you don't have as kids, but when you get older that things like this can actually happen because there are some crazy psychos out there.

This is an public apology to Bryan, I'm sorry I can't watch these movies, go in the haunted houses, and be interested in Ghost Hunters like you honey, I guess you're way more brave than I am...

So now I wait, until this awful holiday passes. I will always love the pumpkin carving, cider drinking and dressing up part, but that's about it lol. Bummer.

PS. A HUGE Thank you to Happyhousewifedesign for pimping my blog! You did a great job and I love it! :)
