HALLOWEEN!
THE costumes....
We went with a 1950's theme this year... Kyleigh was a 'Pink Lady' from the movie 'Grease' {more on that later}, the rest of us wore poodle skirts, except for Kate. She was our pink poodle!
I was rock'in in the bobby socks...haha, no really, I felt like a dork!
We had a pre-halloween gathering at my parents on Sunday night with all the kids and grand kids...HOUSEFUL! Every time we try to manage a group picture with the kids...it is craziness... cracks me up!
Then after all the effort, the pics don't even turn out. haha...Everyone has Halloween eyes...creepy!
My newest little niece....I could eat her up!!! She was born in August, two months early, and weighed like 2 lbs. 15 oz. Oh my goodness she is so precious! Look at those feet!
Made up some of these treat bags for the cousins...found this tag from Hannah's treat bag from her dance party. Don't know who to give credit for it...but gosh it's cute...just made copies of it, bought a bunch of sour gummy worms and bagged them...
B. Olivia and Kate Trick-or-Treating with the cousins on Halloween night...Kate has a new love..that would be 3 Musketeer candy bars. Hannah was out with her friends, and Emma was at home watching a movie with Kyleigh and friends. Times are changing...
THE Parties!....
Saturday night we partied on daddy's side thanks to Aunt Dori who throws a bash every Halloween for us...
Brie stirring the witch's brew....
Coffin Dig for prizes and money.....
Monster Egg Hunt
Go Hannie Go!
I got to throw two parties this week.
{Fun!}
Halloween night Kyleigh had a party for a few of her friends....The girls were the PINK LADIES and the guys were the T-BIRDS from the movie 'Grease'. The girls were so thrilled they managed to get the boys to dress up with them. You should have heard the squeals and screams when these boys showed up at the door with their hair slicked back and their leather jackets on. Austin got to wear my man's Letterman's jacket from 25+ years ago. I was teasingly asking Jaren this past weekend if he was going to wear his Letterman's jacket so he could be a part of our family 50's theme. The look on his face was classic. {cuz we all know he hates dressing up, and um...well, he doesn't have his high school boy physique anymore} "I've got 80 pounds on me since high school!" he blurted out. hilarious!
We had a photo shoot of all photo shoots. We had four mothers, a dad, a grandma, and numerous siblings on hand to catch a glimpse of this...It was as if we were the paparazzi. After about 15 minutes of constant posing and cameras flashing, cute Blake, {who clearly had had enough}, politely inquired... "And so WHY are we still taking pictures????" funny kid.
They think they are so cool!
SO for about 5 minutes they all pretended to be the actual characters from the Grease movie....
Schyler and Kyleigh= Doody and Frenchie
Blake and Alysann=Danny and Sandy
Race and Kenzie=Kenickie and Rizzo
Austin was Putzie and Ethan was Sonny respectively....
Parker showed up late and missed out big time....
Dude, we aren't riding a horse here!
{Kyleigh and I have quite literally laughed are heads off over these pictures}...
Okay, the face expressions. I die!
This was pre photo shoot.... Kyleigh greasing up Austin's hair with dad's gel.
The party invite.....
The party table...
Trick or Treat..give me something good to eat...THAT I DID!
They had creepy crepes.....
with creepy toppings....
nutella/ monster mash,
strawberries/mummy hearts,
bananas/goblin brains
and the cinnamon/ graveyard dirt...
poor Austin thought it was brown sugar and put three heaping mounds on his plate. Poor kid!
powdered sugar/ghost guts,
chocolate syrup/bat drippings
and strawberry syrup/vampire blood....
my friend makes the best home made whipped topping, we used that as the mad scientist goo...
They hung out and watched a scary, scary movie...lots of screaming going on. Kyleigh, Kenzie and Truman were awarded the top screamers!
It was a night filled with typical teenage drama. More than I could ever explain here...you think it's just girls that have drama?
BOYS have drama too.
Yep they do.
So much so that after the party Kyleigh declared she never wanted to do this again.
{But mom would}.
I love having these kids hang out here.
EVERY weekend there's something going on.
I'm a fan of good teenagers, with or without the drama.
Couldn't ask for a better bunch of kids...
The Halloween-ness will continue...{stay tuned for Brie's Scooby Doo/Monster party}
