halloween 2009.

this is the best picture i could get of the crew... thanks for your cooperation kids...

halloween was a beautiful day... 75 degree weather, no wind, and I loved that it was on a saturday. we carved pumpkins, made some crafts with salt dough (that didn't turn out), had the grandparents over for some corn chowder and went on our way collecting candy in the neighborhood. i bought some dry ice to have a fog effect by the front door, but it didn't really work, next year i'm hoping to get a fog machine... i think i want my house scary?? ( I know, it's a shock to me too.)

the outcome of our pumpkin carving efforts...

here are my little monsters who were not to cooperative with the whole "picture taking thing."

levi loved his "dead groom" costume. it was really a last minute idea, and I sprayed an old coat, t-shirt and flower with black spray paint... and there's your dead groom. he kept checking himself out in the mirror... it was pretty hillarious.

chad and i went to the andrea's fabulous annual halloween party. this year the theme was "dark circus" and with some borrowing from friends and digging through old costume boxes, this is what we came up with. neither of us really know what we are...

Let November begin...

(btw, just to make some of you jealous, it's 84 degrees right now in las vegas... )
