Halloween!

We had such a fun October this year. We celebrate Halloween all month long at my house! The night before Halloween we went out with some friends to the McCormick Stillman Railroad park, then to dinner at ZTejas at Scottsdale Fashion Square (they make a mean margarita by the way) and then back to their house. We let the kids watch some Halloween cartoons while the adults hung outside by the fire pit. SO much fun! I'm so glad we are making new friends! It's so hard to find "couple friends". Normally, I will have a friend and then Bryan can't stand the husband or vice versa. Tyson, Christina and their little boy are a lot of fun and seem like a really good family.



The next day was Halloween. We carved our pumpkins that day and that evening I made a pumpkin chili and some "mummy dogs" for dinner. Bryan's mom brought over some "witches brew" and we roasted our pumpkin seeds...yummy! Then I got the kids ready for trick or treat! We love being in our new neighborhood, everyone really goes all out around here. Just about every house on our street was decorated for Halloween. People were playing scary music, there was a family that brought out their 50 inch flat screen TV into their driveway to watch the World Series while the kids Trick-or-Treated. Lots of fun. We sat outside on the driveway with our fire pit and handed out candy. I bought 5 of the BIG bags of candy and Bry's mom brought over 2 more. We ended up giving it all away that night. We have tons of kids in our neighborhood. There are 1000 kids at Connor's elementary school and the ALL live in our neighborhood....just to give you an idea. Once we checked through the kids' candy, we combined it into the same couldron that we were using to give away candy out of....it was full! It was like we just traded candy with the neighbors! LOL! The kids had so much fun and so did I! I love seeing all of the neighborhood kids with their costumes. My favorite holiday!



It's "Jack" from Nightmare Before Christmas! It's not perfect but I drew it freehand! Go me!
