HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I started a new tradition last year

thanks to my friend Mel

and get the girls portrait taken to add as decoration around the house

on Halloween!

With a little coercing

because my girls always want to be something cute with a twist... like a dead cheerleader, dead bride, dead soccer player-

Raegan was a Gypsy, Kye was a genie, Jaida was a kitty and Macy was a fairy.

I completely brain farted and forgot Jaida's very first Halloween dance party this year! I was seriously devastated. Jason had dropped Jaida off to dance, so when I picked her up I realized all the girls were in their costumes with treat bags! I started to cry. Jaida seemed okay though.

"Miss Jeni said it's okay..." She kept saying as she tried to calm me down.

I was definitely more traumatized than my four year old!

Then Jaida had her Preschool Halloween Party! They had the cutest parade and performance. I had forgotten to purchase black shoes for her outfit so I sent her in tap shoes. It was hilarious! She was slipping and sliding all over Miss Michelle's tile floor.

I certainly do not have it together yet... post baby!

Jaida looked adorable in her poofy, black tutu with ears and a tail!

She was so animated in her performance.

Wish she hadn't broken the camcorder...

Then we went to our good friends, The Hughes,

for their traditional family part-ay!

We had pizza, salad, chips 'n dip and soda!
Yummy!

Kylee really got into her character!
Then off we went trick or treating.

We stayed in the Hughes' neighborhood this year because we always miss going with our neighbors no matter how hard we rush.

Not a bad idea.

The girls had so much fun with their cousins and their neighborhood is so fun!!!

The older girls took off with Uncle Matt and the big kids,

running from house to house begging for candy and filling their bags to the brim.

Jaida and I stayed with the younger crew.

She was perfectly happy with Calie, Emily and Aiden!

Calie was so sweet and held her hand the whole time.

After the trick or treating

Jas and I had decided to put on an adult only

Halloween party

at Club Fifield.

It was so fun to see what people came dressed as!

Our winner for best dressed for the night was

"Dog The Bounty Hunter And His Wife".

(AKA Festus and Erin Fox)

We also had "Kate Minus Eight"

show up!

(AKA Chelsea Gharring)

Love the hair!!!

And Jon Warrick as

"The Dead Guy"?

Definitely a classic!

Club Fifield wasn't hoppin' as usual. No one really danced. I was a little sad, I must admit. But a whole bunch of us went upstairs and played games instead. A little Foosball, a little pool, a little ping pong and a little air hockey will liven up a party!

Meanwhile... the children went to the Gharrings and completely obliterated their house! I felt so bad! Thank you for taking the wild ones!

It was a great Halloween!
