Halloween 2010

Wow! What a weekend!

     We started off Friday with my Mom’s Group 5^th annual Halloween party. With all the Moms and kids we had 55 people at the playground. All of the kids were so cute in their costumes. We had Transformers, princesses, ladybugs, Woody(s), Buzz(s), etc. Tons of good food and the kids got to practice trick or treating. This is my 4^th year of participating in the trick or treating…It is just controlled chaos. The kids love it and it’s fun for us mom’s too.

Saturday was the adult Halloween party. Hubby and I were a doctor and a nurse. Pretty lame against Lady Gaga and her paparazzi but we had fun. It was my friend Maria’s house. She does an incredible job of decorating and organizing every year. We had way too much fun and after I helped out with one karaoke song, it was time to go…

Sunday was Halloween of course. Some of our friends came over so the kids could trick or treat with their buddies. I made chili. My brother passed down his recipe to me and I have to say it came out great! Hubby smoked a tri tip roast. It must’ve been good because it was completely gone. Not one piece was left and I didn’t have a bite. Oh well, I get to have some almost every weekend so I suppose I’ll live. Everybody else brought over something scrumptious to eat. Especially Angela. She made an awesome chocolate éclair cake! Yummmmy!

The kids had a great time trick or treating. When the kids were done we came back to count up the loot and turned on a movie for them in the garage. It was so cute seeing them all sit still and get locked in to the movie together. That gave the grownups a chance to relax for at least a few minutes which is always a good thing.

You would think the weekend was over by now but NO! Keric’s birthday was today! I am going to save that story for another post but suffice to say we had a great fun filled weekend. The pictures I took on Halloween aren’t the best but hopefully they paint a pretty good picture of all the fun we had.
