Halloween 2009

I'm not sure how we went from this.....

PA310392

To this....

9-26-09 142 ...but I'm pretty sure it happened when I blinked sometime.

Just in case anyone is wondering why on earth I would dress my baby girl up as Robin? Her brother was Batman and her daddy and I thought it would be cute. It so was.

9-26-09 148 Halloween 2009 was once again a blast....one of those times that will be locked in our memory bank for years and years. We had a party here at our house and everyone dressed up.

9-26-09 150 Yes, even me. As much as I despise it, I submitted. It was actually quite fun.

I especially liked the whole "wench" part. Keifer certainly enjoyed using that name for me throughout the night.

9-26-09 152 I'm fairly certain that he's the best lookin' pirate I've ever seen. Mmm hmm. Cap'n Jack Sparrow's got nothin' on him.

Please note the tattoo on my arm...Keith spent a long time finding them at the last minute, because he thought that I really needed them. Doesn't it just complete the look? You might spot another one here in a minute. Or five.

9-26-09 161Two Jailbirds, a blood-squirtin' skeleton and a vampire fairy (I think)

9-26-09 162I cracked up many times throughout the night when I looked at Wayde. Whether it was the fake sleeves, the too small costume that allowed his gut, er belly to show, the facial hair or tattoos, I'm not sure. Maybe it was all of the above? I especially liked his answer when asked about his much-too-snug-costume.

"One size fits all baby".

9-26-09 169Is this perfect or what?

9-26-09 154Adam and Theresa as Sandra D and Danny Zuko from Grease. The funnest(?) part of the night was watching everyone walk in. Nobody knew who was dressing as what. I will forever remember the way this man walked into my house. So classic.

9-26-09 157Brandon as a Transformer, Lexi as a(nother) pirate and Caden as a puppy gog. How cute are they?

9-26-09 165I didn't get any pictures of the Kurrles together, unfortunately. They were all characters from Cinderella. With Aubrey as Cinderella, herself, Donna as the fairy Godmother, Jason as Prince Charming and Katelyn as a wee little mouse.

I even invited some eight-legged friends to join us ;o)

9-26-09 163

9-26-09 168I asked my lovely neighbors, the Brashers, to come over and judge our costume contest. Lexis won as best kid and Keifer and I scored as best couple. Thank you you guys! Yer awesome ;o)

9-26-09 171 Mmmm...mmm...mmm

The wig was quite uncomfortable, so it came off several times throughout the night. I thought he looked quite handsome wigless, he thought he was sporting the gay pirate look.

9-26-09 172 Hee hee hee ho ho ha ha ack pphh

9-26-09 173 John and Patsy even came! I almost didn't let them in though. A BSU fan? That is so not costume enough. I won't even say what John said Pat was. This picture cracks me up. Even though she looks as if she's on to him, she had no idea what he was doing. We laughed over it for quite some time. Good ol' Johnny.

9-26-09 175 Donna, bless her heart, put together five or six games for all of us.

9-26-09 177 She went to a LOT of work and we all had a LOT of fun.

9-26-09 179 Thank you Donna!

9-26-09 183 You're the bestest, bestest game planner-er

9-26-09 181Ooooh, Danny starin' down Mr. Tough Guy.

9-26-09 143Here she is! I found Miss Cinderelly! Isn't she a cutie pie?

9-26-09 144 And the fairy godmother. The one who made all of our dreams come true!

9-26-09 146Everyone had so much fun, they're already talking about next year!

Hmmmm.....What O' what shall we be?

I love it when you include pics from previous years! The flashback affect is so much fun. Just stop blinking- those kids are getting too big!
I can't believe you were able to put together a post like that about Halloween so quickly:) Major kudos for that!
Everyone looked great all dressed up. It must be the year for pirates; Andrea had a pirate themed Halloween party here last night. You and Keith looked awesome. Karly always looks so cute and is so photogenic. You can feel her childhood joy when you look at her. I was impressed with all the fun costumes. I can tell you all had a lot of fun!

Thanks for the quick post... I was going to put mine off, but now I don't know if I can!

Looks like you all had a lot of fun, and the costumes were great!! Costumes are by far my favorite part of Halloween. Mostly just seeing what everyone else wears, it really gets me cracking up!

I want to say I wish I could have been there... but we were having a great Halloween party at the Reed's house!

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun, that's awesome, I'm glad you did :)

Does Ashley have contacts or something? Cause her eyes looked kind of different in the pictures but I couldn't tell.

Thanks for sharing your party. I love all the costumes and decorations. You guys really went all out. These are the days that the kids will always remember. I am sorry we don't live closer.

All my kids except Maddy, were laid out on the couch for Halloween this year. Lots of tears and disappointment....all of our shopping and putting together was for nothing. So Sad!
