Halloween 2011

Oh my Goodness!!!  My daughter wore a DRESS!!!! for Halloween.  I couldn't believe it when she told me what she was going to dress up as.  She calls herself a princess, but of course she has her brother's fencing sabre as an accessory... hee hee...  I really thought I was going to fall over when she started putting on jewlery!!

Anway, she's a princess (on a crusade of some sort apparently...) and he is in his Civil Air Patrol uniform.  They are standing next to the pumpkin they carved, and daddy's is in the center.  This year they went by themselves without a parent for the first time.

I couldn't belive the amount of GOOD candy this year!!!  Seriously!  There were only about 5 Tootsie Rolls, ONE smartie roll and a few skittles and other nonchocolate.  The rest was GOOD chocolate!

Jake popped in!

He wanted to surprise everyone so he didn't tell anyone when he was getting in.  All we knew was he needed to be home by Sept 24th for his bff's wedding, he's best man.

Happy Golden Birthday Christian! 14yo on the 14th!!

For dinner he ordered:

Homemade THICK crust sausage and pepperoni pizza with cheese-filled outer crust, homemade breadsticks, pork rinds and pop

I loved this gift from his friend, canned spray cheese and crackers!

Pokeman cards, video games...

New sheets to match his new Star Wars themed room,

and a Lego Darth Vader alarm clock

And a Nerf rifle

Soaking his toe (cuz he had a nailbed deadening procedure last week) while playing with his new toy soldiers.  In the canister were: English, Japanese, Germans and Americans.  He said he didn't previously have enough for a full war, now he does LOL

He had a great time :)
