Halloween Take 1

You know how I love me some Halloween. Even this year with Rylee (who's even better at time suckage than your computer), I still managed to decorate the house and shop for costumes.

So last night I was super excited to get everyone dressed up in their mermaid-fare and pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood (bonus for me that lots of these kids are former students of mine).

Here we are excited and waiting. Okay, I use the word "excited" loosely when it comes to Rylee.


At least Rio looks ready to answer the door.

(I'm only wearing half of my mermaid costume. I couldn't wear the wig and other accessories as we were heading to a party later and I was wearing another costume for that. You'll see the full mermaid costume in pics tomorrow after party #2 tonight.)

So we're all dressed up and ready for fun when the rain starts to pour. It was of the torrential variety so nobody came (boo hoo!). Rylee got tired of waiting - literally.


But we had other festivities to entertain us so I changed and we headed out to celebrate with the gang.

Erin as Sexy Miss Robin Hood.


Brian & Crystal in their good versus evil ware.


Ryan went sans costume but did bring along his crutches and I deemed Pete's costume too NC-17 for my PG-13 blog. Later he changed into two more costumes though. A fat witch and... mine (during the traditional end of the night costume swap).


A fun night was had by all and we have costume party #2 to look forward to tonight!

It was a good time. Glad the gang could get together. Next holiday = Thanksgiving at our house (pending Ryan's knee is up to frying a turkey or two).

Have fun at party #2. We're too pooped to go to that and have opted instead for a quiet night at home.

Looks like fun! Wish I had been able to join you all, it was a quiet Halloweeen for me. We did not have any trick-or-treaters either, but then again, I don't think I would let my own kids do that in this town!

Now I feel like the total slacker - I love Halloween and did not manage to get out the decorations this year because I still have not managed to finish unpacking and organizing because I have spent so much time at work. But you have a way better excuse for not getting them out to me and you still managed - plus you made it to TWO parties. I will have to make up for it at Christmas.
