This is our 4th Halloween in this house and the second time we have closed off our street for a block party. Every year is just getting better and better. Jax and Brinkley teamed up this year for their costumes. I swear some people are a little too judgemental and should keep their stupidity and comments to themselves. Other than that.. we had a wonderful night with a few friends and some of our neighbors.

Poor Brinkley had an allergic reaction to the glue that we used to apply her bloody cuts but I am hoping, by Monday, the rash will be gone. As for Pudgie... our little Bumblebee was the best one out there. I did see one other one but he did not have the helmet or the arm gun. That helmet made the outfit. It was awesome the way it made Pudgie's vocals sound mechanical. Even Daddy had to play with it! I do have to say that I love the fact that my kids begged us to go home after two blocks. They were bored trick or treating and wanted to play. It is awesome that they would rather spend the night playing outside with their friends rather than going house to house to get as much candy as humanly possible.

Smores, Trish's amazing pumpkin cake roll with cream cheese frosting and almond teuqila on the rocks made for awesome treats for the night while all the crumb-snatchers had little tricks up their sleeves to make us laugh.

Now, onto Christmas. Yep, you read that correctly. No Thanksgiving decor for this house. I am going straight to Christmas without passing go or collecting $200.00 and I plan on staying in Christmas mode until the day after Christmas, at the very least.
This last photo is my buddy Beth. She is pregnant with baby #8. Yes, number 8! And, she is due in 24 days. So cute! Thanks for coming and hanging with us!
