Catching Up #2 Halloween

Justin and I were invited to a Halloween party and we decided to dress up as our High School personalities!   Just kidding.  Justin really wanted to dress up as Paul Sr. from Orange County Choppers.  I was going to dress up like a rocker chick and even considered spray painting my hair black, etc.  But when I thought about it.  I already had everything for nerd costume for free!  



You would not believe the strange looks that people gave to Justin when they saw his "tattoos", which of course were just sleeves.  Many people would look and then quickly look away like they were so uncomfortable.  It was so funny!  Once most people learned that they were sleeves they became much more friendly and then talked about how cool they were.  Go figure!


Justin actually won his company's costume contest at work!  $75 Visa Gift Cards, not bad!


Where's Kelly?  She was actually at a dress rehearsal for her musical.  Seriously what was her teacher thinking.  Needless to say, I didn't get one picture of her.  Sniff, sniff.  She did dress up, sort of like a rocker.  Maybe I will have her put her costume on sometime and get a picture of her then.  O.k. really, that probably will never happen but for some reason posting it makes me feel better. :)


If you can't tell, Kate went as Pebbles Flinstone, which she loved and none of her friends even knew who that was.  What has happened to our cartoon classics?!


I was really grateful that Kevin and Kenzie's costumes from last year still fit and they were happy to wear them again!  I don't know if they will ever know how much I appreciate that and how much easier it made this holiday for me. 

We were totally sporting our Trader Joe's bags for collecting candy.  Yes!  They are finally coming to the DFW area this winter.  I   can   not    wait!!

Our kids got sooooo much candy this year.  After a week of eating more than anyone needed, we still probably have 10+ pounds left!  It's almost disgusting!  The kids ate their fill this weekend and the rest I am taking to school.  I have to get it out of the house--for all our good!

I hope you had a wonderful and safe Halloween!
