This is Halloween!



On the 25th I had my 2nd annual Family Halloween Party. I LOVE Halloween. I love the decorations...the fun costumes...and all of the fun and creepy foods. This years part was a blast and I think that the kids had a great time. We had mummies on a stick (hot dogs), salad, smoking purple punch, frog eye salad, bug filled cupcakes and a ton of snack type food. After eating we had a costume contest and then rocked out on Guitar Hero (I love that game!). It was a lot of fun. My nieces and nephews all had really cute costumes. Cadison was a dead football player, Alyssa was the queen of hearts, Tyler was a ninja, Chelsey was Pippi Longstocking (sp??), Peyton was a pig and my sister Monica was a little devil.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from playing guitar hero.

My "I'm a teenage girl" obsession

The new Twilight trailer just came out tonight. It looks like it is going to be good. I really enjoyed (aka obsessed over like a 14 year old girl) the books, even though I consider them to be a 'guilty pleasure' type of book. Vampire books are not my thing...but these books were great, and so addictive. If you haven't read them, you should. In fact, I may need to reread the first one before November 21st. I just hope that the movie lives up to the books.

Check Out the newest Twilight trailer!
