Halloween Girls Bunco

Bunco in Octoboer is always memorable because the girls in my group get into the costume thing and we have a ball. Even though I'm not a huge fan of dressing up, because I had to I came up with Gabriella of High school musical (and yes I know she has black hair) and because Ella had to come with me I made her a onesie that said "I'm Troy's baby" but didn't put it on her because I ran out of time. Anyway we had fun and I seriously love these girls and all the good laughs we have together with our craziness!

Lindy had the BEST costume and came as Sara Pallin

Couple's/ bunco party

Chad and I went to a fun couples Halloween bunco party. It was soooo fun and yummy food was had by all! I was again paying tribute to HSM3 and Chad was a cute painter/football player/ person who was run over (we got a different idea from everyone who saw him, but he actually was painting his new work office that day and so came home and smeared it on himself and called it good)

Our hillbilly friends

The awesome Dorothy and Richard Simmons

And the Fruit of the Loom characters

And it'n not letting me delete this picture so here you go!
Final thoughts: Chad doesn't get the big attraction us girls have to bunco, and we won a yummy chocolate treat prize for getting third place!

Halloween Kids Party

My happy little pumpkin snug in her carseat

A bunch of my friends and I got our kids together for a little Halloween Party at the park. Thanks to Lisa, Heather and Summer for a fishing game, pumpkin painting, and cookie decorating. All the other moms brought candy and the kids just went around and got some treats and then played at the park. It was really low-key, which I am realizing is perfect for our baby/toddler/preschool/kindergardener age kids. Lily LOVED painting her pumpkin PINK!

Lots of Superheros

Trying to get a good group picture of 20+ kids = IMPOSSIBLE, but still worth a try

A cute princess and witch

Playing around the park (notice the girl in green, poor thing was playing with her grandma when we got there, and the only one not a part of the party. So of course we had her join in the festivities, and boy did she ever jump in, having us push her on the swings, helping Lily paint her pumpkin, getting lots of treats, and jumping in all the pictures, it was pretty funny)

Hayleigh the Lobster (This costume of Lisa's has been quite a hit with a bunch of babies, Lily wore this her first Halloween too)

My little Pumpkin Ella, the little hat kept falling in her eyes and it was so funny because she would just lift her head up trying to look out.

The awesome Mommas

Friend Tea Party

The other day Lily wanted "chocolate tea" with her friend Emma. So they dressed up, and we completed the tea with goldfish and graham crackers with frosting. They are pretty common these days, but I know will definatly miss these tea parties someday.

Puppy Girl

Lily went to the puppy party of one of our friends and she was the cutest thing. I had to put eyeliner on the next day to recreate the puppy face because she was so sad that it washed off in the tub.

Proud Parent Moment

We just got back from our ward trunk-or-treat and Lily got tons of goodies. When we got home I said she could have just one tonight, and she picked an apple and ate the whole thing (yes someone gave out apples, yay!). Chad let her pick two because he felt the apple wasn't enough, but needless to say I was very wowed by her choice because she loves a good treat, and afterwards said "mom, thank you so much". Anyway I just wanted to document this because I wouldn't believe it other-wise.

Cornbelly's

The girls and I went with my friend Angi and her boys. Angi caught these cute pictures of the kids. Seriously it was so fun with duck races, slides, pumpkin princesses, dress-up, jumping houses, a train ride and some pig races.
