A HOLIDAY BEHIND

Welll Thats just how I seem to work....a day late, a dollar short and a Holiday behind.....What can I say? We are preparing for Thanksgiving but hope you enjoy the pics from Halloween. We had a great time! Cacey....preparing her pumpkin to become a jack-0-lantern...

Well....Let me explain.....I JUST CANT STAND THE FEELING OF THE PUMPKIN GUTS...hence the rubber gloves.

Cassidy....hard at work..

Jeffery doesnt mind the pumpkin guts...

Our friend and neighbor Abby came by to help...we had fun having her here.

A hot dog, Yoda, and a Giesha

For fear of cold or nasty weather on Halloween ( Colorado, you never know) we decorated our garage for our party, it was fun.

Thanks to Abby we got a pic of our fam.....with all our pumpkins....notice our "scare crow" Jeffery and Jeff put this together. The uniform is actually Jeff's from when he was in the Army....

Cacey....acting goofy.....as usual....

I guess Abby liked the "Army" dude.

Playing a game at our Halloween party....

WOW...look at this spread....Meg Schwartz was loading up.

"Spooky" and "Batty"...aka Me and Brenda (Abby's mom). What a great friend. I just loved her hat.....gotta love mine too right?

Ghost treats...arent they cute?

Do you like her hair? ....She took over my hat...

Treats for the monsters..

Here they are...we had great weather and a great time together...Once again we had a house full and I would not want it any other way...the more the merrier!!!

Another "Mummy" game we played....

Well we made it to Halloween night. Whew...I was kinda wore out. Cassidy and I stayed home and handed out candy. We lit our fire pit....isnt it cool....the trick-or-treaters loved it.

Here she is the Geisha girl....check out the Halloween false nails...she loved them.

Friends! Cacey (the hot dog), Abby (the bannana), Nick ( the gouhl) and Jeffery the baseball player which was the 3rd costume of this Halloween. Jeffery went from Yoda, Bat Man and finished the night off as a Rockies baseball player.

Some trick-or-treaters have and extra treat in their bag.....yep those cute Halloween nails mmmmm. Cass is soooo funny we laughed about her loss.

All the candy..

and more candy!

I was so surprised the kids got full sized candy bars.....these people must not be effected by the economy...hee hee... what fun...wish it could last forever!!!!

I just love, love, love Fall!!!
