Halloween

Well this Halloween really just came and went.  Blake and I have been working so much we almost had no time to do anything for Halloween.  But starting on the 27 I began making our costumes.  Not having much time because there was only 4 days till the ward party, not to mention Thursday we already had a full day planed.  So I was down to 3 days, plus we still had 50 hrs to work before 6pm on Saturday.  With no time to spare I hit up Walmart, and thrift stores so by the 29th came we had almost everything.

Then all it took was Saturday at 00:01 I went looking throw some old fabric to make a belt, handkerchief, and collar.  Along with fixing up a black skirt and finding big brown boots down stairs.

And Bam!! Popeye and Olive Oil!!

Like I said I started making these costumes on the 27th so I could not have finished without the help of my mom making the handkerchief and collar while we were working.

Even though Blake and I got off work at 3:30pm on Saturday, we stopped by Walmart on the way home to buy some unloved pumpkins that where leftover from 100s of people digging though them all.  I even got mine carved to put in the ward contest by 6:30pm... Blake's on the other hand did not make it.

All that work for 1 ward part, spending time with crazy nieces and nephews and their fun loving parents.  I would not have changed a thing, except maybe geting a picture with us all in it.

An adorable Flapper

The macho Wrestling

Doc. and Patient + their 3 ninjas and a cute mermaid.

A Fairy, Ballerina and the coolest skateboarder ever. 

But wait... that was only the beginning of the evening.  Like I said Blake and I work like crazy so when we have time off we take it.  After the ward party I went out to dinner with my mom... and on the menu was a pasta, spinach and olive oil salad, that I just had to get.

While Bo, Blake and Adam went out on the air boat.  

Blake did not change out of his Popeye outfit to get a good picture on the boat. 

 And Adam caught his first gator!!!

He looks excited doesn't he.

Well this year was fun, and I can see those costumes coming out again when we have our own little sweet pea one day.
