When Darkness Falls

Halloween Dance

Date: October 22, 2010

The Asking:

I can't find the picture, but I filled a bowl full of chocolate eyeballs and said, "Andy- I have my 'eyes' on you and wanted to 'see' if you'd go to the Halloween dance with me?"

The Answer:

Can't find the pic for this one either, but he put some dum-dums and chocolate eyeballs in a bag and said, "'Eye' would be a 'dum-dum' if I didn't go to the Halloween dance with you."

For dinner, we made homemade pizzas at my house. Since it was a Friday, we didn't have a day activity (which I was secretly alright with). Our group went as high school stereotypes, but Andy wanted to go as country-western theme, so I figured that'd work since there are cowboys in Idaho high schools. It turned out pretty great!

Halloween

This year Halloween started off with raking leaves at Grandma and Grandpa's house. There were SO many leaves, but it was fun.{Rissy and Becca helping Grandpa}

For Halloween celebrations, our family went to the church and met with some neighborhood family friends to have dinner and play games before Trick-Or-Treating.

{Mom: witch, Savanna: Geisha,
Me: Nurse (one that works with children, hence the teddy bear),
Becca: Jack, Rissy: Jill, Dad was a trailor park dude, complete with a mullet.}

I left the neighborhood party a little early to go to Morgan's house for a party. We ate a delicious dinner provided by Morgan's mom.

Merissa was a little old lady and it was HILARIOUS. She looked just like a grandma. At one point during the night, I was looking down Morgan's balcony and saw Merissa walking down the hall below. Even though she was by herself, she still acted like a grandma and walked carefully and slowly with her cane. Loved it.

Later that night we watched, "Flight Plan." It wasn't scarey, but it was very suspensful. I'm not the kind of gal that likes those type of movies, and neither is Rachael, but we toughed it out... even if I had to hide in Rachael's shoulder a few times and squeeze my teddy bear. I never knew I would need a teddy bear at this age. :) Overall it was a fun Halloween.
