HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Anyone who knows me will know that I am a freak about halloween. I love it. I love dressing up, i love blood, and i love candy. Since I am married and too old to trick or treat now and have no friends I tried to make the best of Halloween. Luckily Amy (my favorite person in Utah besides Russ) saved me from doing nothing (he "Halloween party" she was invited to canceled) and they came over to have some fun! Russ and I did some last minute costume shopping and came home to decorate the stairwell (since we live in a basement). We but black trash bags above to make it like a tunnel and put some Halloween decorations outside and some scary music to make it look good scary. I took this old costume of mine and stuffed it and put it at the bottom of the stairs to make it look like a real person. We had to light some candles to lead the people to our front door which is on the side of the house to make sure we got trick or treaters. Amy and marcus came over (not dressed up) but don't worry I made them put some costumes on. Amy was a pregnant cheerleader and marcus was batman. They were really good sports about it, and amy was really hot in the cheerleading uniform. Lola was a cute pig until she spilled soda all over her costume. We ordered pizza and Ryan and his girlfriend Bri came over and we ate, passed out candy and played scatagories (we printed off new scategories lists off the internet) We made some muddy buddies too......mmmmmm......Russ and i dressed up too. I was a pirate and Russ was Waldo from where's waldo. He looked really good. I made him dress up too but in the end he really liked his costume and was glad he dressed up. All of our Primary kids we teach came over to trick or treat too. I of course had to get pictures of the, We saw all but one but then on Sunday discovered he had come by too in a mask so we didn't know it was him. We had lots of fun! I'll let you see some pictures of our night but I'm going to take a quick look down memory lane....these are some of the other Halloween costumes I have had throughout the years.....








Ok...those last ones were pretty scary.  It went from newst to oldest as you can probably tell.  I am such a freak.  haha.  Ok here are the pictures from this Halloween.  Enjoy!

That just made my night! How creative you are! Looks like you all had a good time...so glad you did! I loved Russ as Waldo, and Marcus as Batman was pretty scary...I love the picture of him holding Lola when she's looking at him funny! And Amy was cute as always...pregnant or not...and you made a great pirate, Selena! And of course, Little Lola stole the show...I loved the picture of her from the back...how adorable! Thanks so much for sharing!

muddy buddies are SOOOOOOO good. I
'm glad you dressed up. you really do love Halloween. So, I have been pretty obsessed with you lately. I was thinking about all the Halloweens we have spent together. The one Sr. year..."TRCIK or TREAT" (in the song voice), the haunted houses with Devin, Ryan and Josh, the haunted house up in Flagstaff by the ice skating rink, you losing your cell phone, and on and on and on! Halloween is for lovers, i guess.

You really do get into Halloween! Those bloody costumes scare me a bit. I think it's funny for two years in a row you have blood coming down the same side of your mouth.

When Merritt and I were newlyweds, we had the CTR 8s and it was a blast. We loved them so much, we took them to Chuck A Rama! They picked it! We even had a class party at our house. You guys remind me of us... memories :)
