Masquerade!!

Masquerade...paper faces on parade...MASQUERADE!! (Phantom of the opera, gotta love it!)

So last minute the other night...we decided to have a little MASQUERADE party! It was sorta a trial and error party...and I enjoyed IT! Every minute of it! Next year, you ALL will come!

This was the low down!

*NO KIDS!
*Bring a SPOOKY side dish/treat!
*Party it up!

There was plenty of munchies!
The mood was set!
This is what it looked like in our eyes! Dark with Black lights on BABY!
This is with the flash of the camera...



I made these CAKE "eye" BALLS! .....SCARY!!!! ;)
Someone brought these FREAKY mouths!
Someone brought these NASTY...."Tasty" TURDS! (actually they were pretty tasty! Even with candy corns in the mix...ewwwwwwwww.)
Someone brought these DELISH Carmel apples! MMMM mmmm GOOD!
Someone brought healthy Veggies too! But candy is always a must!
Chips and dip too!
Witches BREW (root beer) and bloody fingers (BBQ little sausages) were there for our partaking!
Hence it was a MASQUERADE, there had to be MASKS..right?!! Any or whatever type was an option! Funny it was!!! Good laughs all around!





Along with the BLACK lights, we had STROBE flashing lights! Of course fun to dance around to THRILLER and GHOST BUSTERS...and other haunted sounds of the season! A dance off was a MUST! The later the night got...the funnier it was!

This was the best picture I could capture with the effects. Cameras just can't capture the mood, or at least my camera couldn't!
Of course there was a Mask contest! Who do you think won? Well it was the one with the cigar hanging out of it's mouth. It was pretty darn good and funny!

There was one though that some were trying on and laughing there heads off. It was super cheap...but makes even the most "manly man"...womanly! HA HA NICE!



My personal fav of course! Put those hands down AARON! UGH! HA HA
Even HOTTIE girls look a bit FREAKY in it! Hee hee

We love Halloween around here! Always fun to get out of our comfort zone and wear something STRANGE!

Just you wait, those posts are coming....SOON!


But for bigger and better NEWS!

DAVIN is in a BIG BOY BED!!!

He would have been ready a long time ago, but we just never spend the time to do it! (Tate was out of his 1 1/2 yrs before Davin) We put the bed in his room this weekend, and he has slept in it ever since. (Guess the crib is coming down! Sniffle sniffle...my baby is getting too big!)

Now we just need to buy him some real blankets and bedding! ;)


Til next time...happy HAUNTING!

What's been going on this week?

What's been going on in?.....(Sing with me)...."Our house, in the middle of our street, Our house!!" (Is that song gonna be stuck in your head now? Good!! Cuz, it is in mine! Hee hee. ;)

Random post!

Here we go...

Getting ready for school...with a sweet backpack!
Tate shows off his "pretty neat" pack pack...as he always calls it!
All views for your viewing pleasure! What a cute smile Taters!!!
We hit the NORTH LOGAN Fire department "fire awareness" night. The kids and us adults had a GREAT and informative evening. We learned about the gear they use, how to put different fires out around the house and what types of things to use in that case. It was super kid friendly and they have talked about it ever since.

The boys met this large but in charge fire fighter!



Watched others tunnel through a fake smoke tunnel. They never dared do it themselves.
Heavy HATS!


FIRE!!





They passed off all of the requirements and got these sweet looking badges with their pictures on them.
We got the sweet looking fire hats!
Tate showing off his "Stuff"!
Styling!! ;)
We had a lovely BBQ for my mom's birthday! She is just a young whipper snapper!! She was so kind to watch our boys while we were in Lake Powell on her birthday. The kids ended up being sick on her BIG day too. UGH! We felt so bad, we tried to do a "Make up" party for her. It worked...she enjoyed it.


Grandma had never given Tate a gift for his birthday, so it kinda turned into a duel birthday party! Tate enjoyed having another party!
He got a SWEET plane, that he LOVES so much to play with!

SIDE NOTE: My poor dad. He lost a tooth....in FRONT!! The worst!! Haa haa haa. He always was a hillbilly...but more so now. Ha ha ha. I can't look at this picture without laughing. The shirt doesn't help either. Gotta love him!!
We hit the PUMPKIN WALK early this year. It always seems to get cold and rains towards the end. Right? RIGHT!! We went on the first day, during the day...and we were toasty! It was perfect for the boys and for grandma. I am sure we will go again in the evening too.

The "stroller" boys!

Angry birds! ha!
Mickey mouse and the boys with grandma!


The boys loved these (squash) FISH! People are always so creative at this Pumpkin walk!
Scary WITCH!!! (not really, at all!!)
The famous head in the hole pics! Tate has done this same one of Yoda for FOUR years now. (Sun in the eyes!)

Lovely Grandma!
Nerdy Charee!
Super cute of DAVIN! Ha haa LOVE IT!
Only one more week til the EXCITING day! HALLOWEEN! Can't wait!
