Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everybody! This is one of my most favorite times of the year! Bailey dressed up as a Vampire Gypsy (I think she wanted to be both, but couldn't decide so she combined the two), Addie was a Bat, Cam was a Firefighter, and Emery was a Bunch of Grapes. I ended up borrowing a friend's Bee costume at the last minute and Chase improvised a costume while trick or treating. We discovered that Emery's "grapes" were blocking her vision, so we removed two of them and Chase pinned them to his bum. He then said he was a bunch of picked over grapes. Chase and I were originally going to dress up as Siamese twins, but I never got around to going to the D.I. for a shirt big enough to fit us both, oh well, maybe next year.

We had a "spooky" dinner with punch with hands, eyeballs, gouhlish grins, veggie dip with fingers poking out, mummy dogs, and spinach dip (which wasn't so spooky). I didn't have time for the pumpkin cheese ball, but again, maybe next year. Brie (Chase's sister) and Dave (Brie's fiance) joined us for dinner and trick or treating. I was worried about how Emery would handle trick or treating, but she absolutely loved it and she had a blast. Emery caught on very quickly and would run to the next house with the kids making excited noises while bouncing along and then say "Twick or Tweat!" After she got candy she would say "Ganks, Gank You!", "Goodbye, See ya later!" At one point when Emery's bag was so filled it was too heavy for her, she told us she was done. We headed back towards the house and Chase asked her if she wanted some candy. Emery replied, "Yes, of course!". She is the funniest 2 year old, she is so different from the other kids at that same age. After we got back from trick or treating we watched a movie, X-Men Wolverine. The kids, except Bailey, watched Alvin and the Chipmunks downstairs (not as scary). We hope your night was filled with frightful fun and that your Halloween was a spooktacular one!

Beautiful Brie improvising as a tree for her costume.

Dave and Brie, what a cute couple : )

Chase with his two grapes on his bum.

Two bunches of grapes : )

A spooky house all decorated crazy complete with animatronics, sounds, moving ghosts, and frankensteins, etc. Addie and Cam refused to go to this house. We asked Emery if she wanted to go, but she politely told us "No thanks." She changed her mind when she saw Bailey going up and went with her.

Trick or Treating

Spooky house.

My little bunch of grapes.

She's the cutest bunch of grapes, maybe that's why I included so many pictures.

Emery enjoying her bloody eyeball, mmmmmm!

My mom wearing the Halloween apron she just made. Emery is scared of it ever since she came to look at it after it was finished and I hit the ghost from behind with my hand and yelled "Boo!" at her. I guess that wasn't very nice, but it was pretty funny.

Addie looking like a mean vampire bat with her green teeth and red eyes. I finally had a picture where I didn't need to fix the red eye, it goes perfectly with her costume.

Addie, Brie, and Dave.

Bailey and the gross punch bowl.
