Happy Halloween!

Alright, I totally went in a different direction for our costumes... I couldn't find any good red wigs so the Poison Ivy idea was out for this year, along with all the other Batman costumes. Our Halloween party was a success and our costumes looked even better than I hoped they would!

Enjoy some of the pics from our party, people got real creative :)

DAY OF THE DEAD (her make-up took close to two and a half hours and she did it herself!)

MERMAID (her mom made this costume from scratch!)

MRS. PAC MAN (She made this costume herself!)

Even the pup dressed up as a pirate! (She refused to have her picture taken)

One of my favorite things from the party was the pumpkin dip, idea curtesy of Pinterest of course! Just cut the top off of a pumpkin, clean it out, fill with dip and put the cover back on!

And finally................ our Halloween costumes for 2012: POPEYE & OLIVE OYL!

Tonight I plan on staying home to give out treats to the whoppin' 5 kids who will make the long march down our driveway to get to us... and I'll probably watch Hocus Pocus because it is tradition... and I LOVE IT! Happy Halloween!



I love Fall!

It's almost Thanksgiving & then comes Halloween... this is why I love Fall! I am so looking forward to dinner at my grandmothers house on Sunday and then at the in laws on Monday, looooove turkey and family dinners!!

I've been spending all of my online time at work searching for Halloween decorations and trying to find a costume for our Halloween party! Here are some of my costume ideas... I guess I really like Batman characters ;)

I really like the Poison Ivy costume... so I'm leaning towards picking that one! Now I just have to find some fake leaves and a red wig.. and figure out how to make the eyebrows (are those eyebrows?!).
