Witch Fingers

We don't trick or treat on Sunday.  It's not a bad thing we just choose to do other things on that day (like have landscapers working in our backyard but we'll save that for a different post).  So we thought we would get a four for one this year.  We planned a Halloween/birthday party for Isabel, DJ and AJ.  Then it turned out we got to turn it into a five for one because we added Monique's first birthday in there too.  I wish I would have taken more pictures.  What was I thinking?

On the menu for the night?  Mice house pumpkin rice, witch fingers, werewolf brain, vampire teeth, venom dip, little monsters, ghost pops and to wash it all down, fly water.  And then of course all the candy corn you could possibly ever want.  I still have leftover candy corn if anyone wants more.


Even the adults were encouraged to dress up.  Turns out my family (except Fabi, you looked great!) isn't very good at that. :P  But Kristine's. . .they did awesome!  I think we'll Halloween party with them more often.  This is me and my werewolf because we all know I'm a Jacob fan.  And, no it wasn't his brain we ate.  Although, sometimes . . . never mind.  

Activities for the night included pumpkin bowling and mummy wrapping.  Both done with cheap rolls of toilet paper that had little ghost faces drawn on them courtesy of the birthday boys.

 And of course the night wouldn't have been complete without the presents and cakes. 
Thanks everyone for coming to our party.  Hope you had as much fun as we did.  Oh wait, you adults couldn't have because you didn't dress up.  I guess there's always next time Halloween comes around on a Sunday.  Wish the rest of the family could have been here too.  And if you were at our party and have any other pics of the party could you send them to me?  Thanks!

The Smart One


I guess this skinny jean style is coming around to stay for a while.  And while I swore I would never wear them again I'm giving in, big time, as in every new pair of jeans I buy are skinny.  But it took both Papi and I to convince this girl to wear a pair of skinnies.  She really is the smart one in the family because we all know that boot cut jeans are so much more flattering.  Skinny..... are just fun.

And that awful looking yard in the background . . . it's on it's way to an updated makeover too.

October Break

I really need to keep this blog up but now that I've got my macbook I'm starting to enjoy video.  Here's how our October Break went.  It's split into 2 parts because of YouTube's time limit. And if you're only going to watch one of the two, part 2 is better than part 1. 

Part 1 

Want more?  Well, okay. :)

Part 2

As you can tell, the kids had a fabulous time.  I think it was one of those little vacations that they will always remember.
