Halloween Extravaganza

This years Halloween party was a blast. I think the best part was the spook alley- put on by all the younger kidlins for the older people. Good job Rachel for your awesome planning! It was GREAT!
Unlike last year we decided that the chickens did not need to be dressed up in their halloween garb.
But don't worry, there was plenty of good treats to be had :)

Amanda made her delicous cookies and beautiful caramel apples which were a definite hit
Jenny made her awesome chili
Malia mom made a mad beef and barley soup- oh. my. gosh.
Alana- which is I- made some creepy looking little cake balls- but were quite tastey, and i made cupcakes and the white soup- its a secret- but everyone loved my progresso-modified a bit ;)

And now for the awaited costumes- this year to try and stiffen up the competition- we decided to do a prize worth winning ( nothing against the toilet paper flowers we made last year for the winner)
Side note- I feel super bad i didnt get any pics of the Diotanootie cousins.

Emma the wicked witch of the west (a dead one)
Angela the ninja turtle
Rachel makes a beautiful cleopatria ;)

Laura is a creepy little swamp creature
i feel a song coming on for this one- Shawna was-"my name is stegasaurus.. im a funny looking dinasaur...."
I feel Steve made a perfect "thumper" what a great sport G was the most adorable little "flower" , and I,dont worry, found my costume at the DI-pretty sure the donor was a ten year old boy who, for some reason wanted to be a beaver. with a few modifications, we turned it into Bambi. 2 points for creativity right? right?

Amanda made a beautiful Cinderella- we keep telling her blondes have more fun-i think she may believe us now
Alan Ginger Gerald and the Magnet were a clever bunch of grapes, from the looks on this pic- a confused little bee and the cutest little punkin
Spencer showin a little belly skin-came as either a stripper or a cop. you decide. And Morgan came as a cool lookin pirate-I for one loved his boots.

Little Ann was the stinkin cutest litte witch
Lady Liberty was played very well by Lindamom
Craig and Maliamom were perfectly dressed cruisers.
And now by popular vote - the best costumes went to
the strippercop, the very clever black eyed "p"s, my name is stegasaurus, and lady liberty
1st place went to Shawna the Steg. She won a gift card o a pretty prestigious restaurant- you may have heard of it- they are well known for their meals created by sandwich artists. Go SUBWAY

Thanks to all the wonderful family members who participated in the costume contest, to the awesome/very scary actors in the basement who made the spook alley down right scary that was the best part of the night!, and to everyone for making the effort to make the halloween party a success. Due to difficult scheduling we were very sad to be missing The beef, my man Mason.
