Happy Halloween!

Just thought I'd give everyone a little re-cap of our Halloween festivities this weekend! It started on Friday night with a neighborhood Halloween party featuring the band, Mind the Gap. Todd and I went as Brett and Deanna Favre - picture a purple Favre Jersey for Todd with Green Bay and Vikings symbols. For me, picture a pink Favre jersey, also with Green Bay and Vikings symbols, with the breast cancer ribbon in rhinestones on the sleeves. Sorry, no pictures :(

This afternoon, we had another party at our neighbors'. They do a party every year, starting after naptime and wrapping up in time to start trick-or-treating. It always involves hot dogs and beer and a lot of kids running around. This year was no different!



Most of the kiddos - princesses, Superman, a dog, a soccer player, Taylor Swift, and the list goes on!



Being entertained by a vampire so that they'd all look at the cameras!



They had "tractor" rides - really just a chance to climb on Paul's 4 wheeler



Brett and our neighbor's son, Evan, sharing some chips



Eating, playing, coloring pumpkins... but mostly NOT eating!



See? Coloring pumpkins is MUCH more important than eating dinner!



Getting ready to head off to trick-or-treat... the trailer filled with a few adults, a lot of kids, and the keg, being pulled by the 4 wheeler driven by a vampire. Classic.



All aboard!



I knew Kate would NOT like the trailer... she went along in the wagon. She actually loved it, despite how she looks in this picture!



It's hard to see here, but there is an adult at the front of this swarm of kids; I'm in the middle of the swarm, and there are more adults in the back of the swarm. Somebody had to watch the keg, right?!



The end result of our pumpkins... Kate chose a "Ghost Castle"



and Brett chose Lightning McQueen. Shocked. I know.

Our partying doesn't stop there, though! Tomorrow we're having everyone over to watch Packers vs. Vikings, round 2. This partying sure is a lot of fun, but I'm worn out!!
