Halloween

As you can tell by all the pics, Thomas and I LOVE to dress up! How disappointing to find that Halloween 2012 so uneventful. The last 3 years we have gone to the big law school halloween party, and in Austin there was always something fun to do. This year for the first time did not dress up together.

I can't find original pic of this one, so very blurry. One of my favs- figure skaters.

We did, however, get to dress up for work. This is new to me, as the last 2 schools I've worked for did not allow this due to religious conflicts. My favorite part of the day was standing outside my classroom door this morning and watching all the kids walk into school in full costume. We then did a big parade throughout the school, which reminded me of my elementary school days. Our costume box is in storage, so I went and bought a lame costume from a party store. I was a bumble bee. Thomas was the flash mob... something he was supposed to do with his team at work. Neither of us wore any make-up or wigs this time...LAME!







Our dogs didn't even dress up this year. I love nothing more than to dress Lola up. She so sweetly puts up with it. Luckie is learning. A little peak into the past...

Ok, Halloween wasn't that bad. I just wanted to be dramatic and display all of our old dress up pics. We went to Amanda and Kevin's and cooked dinner and watched The Adam's Family, which is by the way still an excellent movie! Amanda made delicious chicken tacos. I did the appetizer- Halloween eyeballs (stuffed mushrooms.) Oh how I love to make themed food.

I made them slightly healthier by adding chicken italian sausage & light cream cheese... Ok they aren't super healthy but it's Halloween. I added sliced olives to give the eyeball look. This is not a good pic but you get the point. They are so yum.
