i still dress up or Halloween part 2

 a ghost with the most and honest Abe

 a Halloween hodgepodge

 most of you know that i like to do Halloween themes. sadly, that time has come and gone. no more. no more. no more...

my baby Cate as a cow. i missed out on getting a picture of my baby Emma. she was dressed as the world's cutest pumpkin. i am also glad to say that the cow costume was Brenton's and the pumpkin was Kylee's. i love getting use out of one time only type things. BTW, anyone is allowed to use my wedding dress (it has made its way through three brides).

THEY TRICKED AND TREATED AND THEN HAD A DANCE PARTY ON GRANDMA/PA'S FRONT LAWN.

DADDY DAUGHTER

on Saturday night Kylee got to go on a daddy daughter date. it was a Halloween party. Walt is Abraham Lincoln and Kylee is a vampiress. in the meantime, i took Brenton and Tessa to see puss n boots. good times all around. Tessa actually did really good at the movie (i was worried about her).

not about my kids

it's all about ME. WONDERFUL GLORIOUS ME! actually it is late Sunday night and i have finished Tessa's birthday/Halloween bash. when i was getting her "Halloween/birthday balloons and making her cemetery cupcakes", i started wondering how much longer she is going to let me get away with this. anywhoo, busy busy weekend, and i am starting with Friday...

 we were invited to a 1920's murder mystery surprise birthday party. no kids allowed, they were left at grandma and grandpa's.

come on, how cute do we look? i actually hate doing costumes halfway, i have to do the FULL EFFECT! go big or go home. and since no one believes him (we had everyone saying that it couldn't be real all night) IT IS ALL FULL ON REAL BEARD.

my sisters and mom were in love with the hairdo. i actually thought i did a pretty darn good job and may just use this look again.

so, i ask everyone, HOW DID I NOT WIN BEST COSTUME?! i had the hair, the makeup (thank you MAC), the dress. i am mad.

either sick or too tired

or i could say too busy. just blame my slacking of the blog on one of those three things. in the meantime enjoy pictures of what we have been up to starting with...

 the "mom and dad pumpkin"-a spooky graveyard

 dracula-the eye fell out

 a scary pumpkin face

 a silly pumpkin face

scary pumpkin standing next to an ACTUAL pumpkin head

to be honest

i am too busy screwing around with my ipad to do a well thought out post.

trick or treating...with our kids...in the rain...i whined and did not want to go. i even tried to talk the kids out of going.

i was batgirl ( i wore one of Brenton's capes from when he was younger) and all i could find was a black cat mask. i did my best to make it work. i have decided i should have had red lips. oh well, i am off to play with my ipad again...or keep my kids from it.

everyone needs family who will do this for Halloween

Halloween 2010-kids

no, she isn't freaking Robin Hood...SHE IS PETER PAN!

you'll never guess who he wanted to be, muscles and all.

she is not JUST a devil, she is a DIVA DEVIL.

just before heading out the door, into the rain, with Tessa and Brenton coughing. their cousin Saylee was Cinderella, friend Hudson was Buzz, and cousin Brady is a gunslinging cowboy.

a creepy place

the kids and i watched this over and over last night. happy november. yes, i am still doing the P90X program and all is getting better.

halloween fun

DO NOT LET LITTLE KIDS WATCH THIS. i know my nephew likes to watch the videos on my blog...sorry Bman, this isn't for you.


BE SAFE! HAVE FUN! PICS OF THE KIDDOS WILL BE UP WHEN I GET AROUND TO IT! MWAHAHHAHAHAHA! and as tessa would say, "DON'T LET THE SPIDERS BITE!"

halloween dedication 2-Jack's Lament

halloween dedication 1-THIS IS HALLOWEEN

men must run the costume department

the other day i took kylee out with me to do some HALLOWEEN shopping. i needed to get a pitchforky thingymabob for her Devil costume and some red dye hair spray. so off we went to the HALLOWEEN store. while we were there i decided i would TRY and find myself a nun costume, so off we went searching the adult costume isles. sexy nurse. sexy cop. sexy vampire. playboy bunny. sexy ballerina. sexy cat. sexy demon lady. sexy devil. sexy sexy sexy sexy. HOLY BALLS THIS WAS MAKING ME INSANE. so as we were walking and searching these "every women's costume is SEXY" costumes, i turn to kylee and say, "BY THE WAY, YOU ARE NEVER EVER TO WEAR ANY OF THESE STUPID COSTUMES...just so you know." oh and there was a sexy Alice in wonderland...MY ALICE! HOW DARE THEY DEFILE THAT CHARACTER!
i am now stepping down from my soapbox of "the lack of costumes for women" and am saying, "isn't this a COOL PICTURE?".

so bloody cool

pumpkin pickers

WHO?

people are now telling us that we look alike since i got my haircut. so, my question is, do i look like her? or does she look like me?

and that ONE on the LEFT thinks she looks like all of us. but, the one in the MIDDLE, i do not know where she came from. just like i have no idea where Kylee came from, maybe that is why she is called Molly #2!

all hallow's eve

i love how the RED EYE problem actually works with this picture.
even though she was sick, i still let her dress up to stay inside at grandma's house.another bloody shot

one happy go lucky flower showing her power.

who knew that THE VAMPIRE and SPIDERMAN were friends??

smacking her ONE AND ONLY with a stick

yes, we encouraged the children to smack Mickey's face with a stick
even tessa hit her beloved's face a few times
my bro-in-law (in the dr suit) said,"shouldn't it be like against the law to hit Mickey Mouse in the face?"
here's what the kids thought...
