Halloween Happenings!

Haunted days of 2008 have come and gone. Well not completely, my house now looks as if Halloween came by and threw up, I have stuff all over my garage, in my car, outside, in my living room, bedrooms kitchen... etc... I have big plans of a Halloween cleanse this week.

Thursday night we had a wonderful surprise... Mike came home early!! Yay.. we were so happy he could be with us for trick or treat. Here is another look at the kids in their costumes. Slash from Guitar Hero.. or Guns N Roses for us old folks.

Wednesday Addams and Thing.

Rae had a great time trick or treating with her wiggly hand. Since she refused to remove any of her doll's heads, we were so happy to find this "thing" at Kmart 50% off.

Mike and I were Beetlejuice and Lydia for our Halloween Bash.

I was sewing up to the last minute and praying my dress would hold through the night. Mike's costume was a thrift store suit and after painting two stripes with fabric paint, I realized it would take me forever to stripe this suit, so I resorted to duct tape and spray paint, and it worked beautifully. Believe it or not, Mike's wig was three times this size when I got it, not so authentic. And it looked like a star fish. My hair worked out all except my bangs, I ran out of time and the spiky bang extension wasn't cooperating and I was already 5 minutes late to my own party. So I chucked them. Mike was my best accessory anyway. No one knew who I was until I was standing next to him, but I expected that much. I have to say, doing the thriller in this get up was tough, I was having flashbacks to my wedding day trying to do the electric slide. All in all it was worth it! Being able to dance, laugh and act nutty at least once a year...? I'm down with that!

Thanksgiving here we come..
