Over the weekend

We had a pretty eventful weekend. Saturday was the halloween party and that was pretty fun. We didn't get to go to the Obama rally, but that's probably OK, since there were over 100,000 people there and I get anxiety attacks in that kind of crowd. On Sunday we had a big ol' filet mignon dinner. It was so good. Tender and juicy and wrapped in bacon. Mmmmmmm. Then we carved our pumpkins and ate pumpkin pie. What's better than pumpkin pie with some Cool-Whip? If you answered nothing, then you are absolutely right.

We've been getting into the spirit big time here. Watching "scary" movies and all. We LOVE the show Ghost Hunters. It's pretty cool. They are having a live special on Halloween night in some castle or something. I've been having trouble finding scary movies that are actually scary. So, this week we'll just stick with the old reliables. I like "the Stand", "It" part 1, "Blair Witch", "Sixth Sense" and oldies like "Amityville", "The Haunting", and "Halloween".

We still have to plan our trick-or-treat route for the kids. It is supposed to be perfect weather on Friday. They say 70 degrees or so. We still have to get their pics taken but as soon as we do, you will know. Here's some other pics for you.






Couples picture! Jonah and Jen, Kaiti and I, Andrea and Mike.



Lil' Mikey




Jonah and his "wife" Jen




Uhhhhh......




Yeah- it's the best I could do for $20. I'm not sure what it is, but it creeped everyone out.



That's MY beautiful Greek Goddess. I swear she gets more beautiful everyday.




I love these pumpkin carving books. They are so easy and fun.



Kenzee liked pulling out the innards. I hate it. In fact, I won't do it. It feels like wads of wet hair, like when I clean out the shower drain. Not my favorite thing.



Mari had trouble securing the stencil. We didn't have any tape, so we just used little nails. By the time she got started, her pumpkin looked like Hellraiser.



Here's me trying my best to be creative. Kaiti is actually the best pumpkin carver in this relationship. She blew through three pumpkins quick and they looked perfect. Mine kept falling apart.



Finished product. They look pretty good, I think.

Yo, Micah..that mask is one of the grossest things I've ever seen hahaha. Creepy creepy!

Jonah!!! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. My Jonah! I miss that guy like whoah. Lil Mike's costume cracks me up too!

And dude..Kaiti looks gorgeous! I'm supposed to be going as a Greek goddess too..but now I think I'll just call myself Roman because it looks more like I stepped off the set of Rome anyway.


Give everyone a hug from me!

It all looks like so much fun! Good memory-makers. Thanks for all these pictures!

This is the first time I've seen Jen, though I've been hearing about her for months. Noah made it to the rally, so I guess he was the family rep there.
