Pumpkins and Dress Up

I'll just say it right now, Halloween has never been my kind of a 

holiday. But it has slowly been growing on me the last couple of

 years. This year I had a ton of fun. We didn't go crazy and do 

a ton of Halloweeny things, but we did enjoy carving pumpkins 

and going to a costume party.

First was the pumpkin carving. After a long day in the 

yard with Shawn, nine hours to be exact, pumpkin carving 

was just the thing we needed and Ryan and Noelle joined in. 

Our pumpkins, turned out pretty awesome. 

Ryan's Iron Man pumpkin

Noelle's fit her personality perfectly

Mine, well I went for the scary looking face and got it.

Shawn's pumpkin....was supposed to be the
Joker, but I kind of sucked at drawing it
onto the pumpkin.

All four of them sitting on our front porch.

We look a lot alike, don't we :)

Told you, perfect
personality match

Second Halloween together

Next was a costume party...

 Thanks to Ryan and Noelle, we actually had one to go to. Their friends throw a party at their cabin in Midway every year and it was really fun. People are so amazing with costume ideas. There was a Mr. and Mrs. Potato head, Angry birds, Mary Poppins and the Chimney guy, Steve Jobs and the Iphone, Peter Pan and Wendy with their baby Tinker Bell, a couple of bed bugs, and a few others. Shawn and I went as Juno and Bleaker from the movie "Juno". Lets just say I had fun playing pregnant.

Donut eating contest. I had the donut off the sting and in
my mouth but could swallow because I was gagging while
laughing. Yeah.....it was a blast.
(Not to mention, Noelle's face, pretty funny)

Juno, Bleaker, Flo and Mayhem. (Ryan and Noelle tied for
second place in the contest. Good Job you two.)

 One last thing, our new neighborhood, actually goes door to door tricker treating. Yay!!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!
