THE END OF THE MONTH EXTRAVAGANZA

Halloween has always been a favorite holiday of mine--probably because we always got the day off of school growing up in the good ol silver state. We went to my sister's home for a party and a little trick or treatin in her neighborhood and in my parents neighborhood. Owen got a nice stash of candy considering he fell asleep in his stroller after 5 minutes. Brett and I didn't dress up ---I know pretty lame of us but just you wait we are planning for next year already. My whole family out did themselves--M&D even joined in the fun as Chiquita Bananas complete with a song and dance! by far the most entertaining costumes. Julie made her sweet geisha costume ---so impressive and even has the facial expressions and hand gestures down. Jillian and Drew were so cute as Mary Poppins and Burt, so authentic and resourceful to make all of their costumes themselves as well. Owen was a little teddy bear and if I would have thought and acted on it a bit sooner we would have been Goldilocks and the three bears oh well may be will the next little one( that was by NO means an announcement for baby number two) The rest of the crew were as followed Ethan-Darth Vader when he takes is mask off in Return of the Jedi, Mitch- the Joker, Tom--a cholo, Cari-Rachel Zoe and little bostyn--Dorothy. Everyone was looking fabulous in their costumes and we missed our family in Illinois, California and Texas. And NOW that it is November I have started to play Christmas music! Hey if Costco can have all their stuff out and playing for almost a month now why can' t I ?
