Having a Spooktacular Time

Halloween is almost here! We have already been celebrating. We went to a costume party a couple weekends ago dressed as Joanna "the Chotchkies waitress" and Bill Lumbergh from the movie Office Space (which was pretty funny among a bunch of engineers). Other costumes included some season fairies, Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks, Medusa, the scary clown from IT, a nerd, a cat, and some black-eyed peas. They had a dart and caps tournament, best costume, karaoke, and awesome Halloween treats! It was a blast! A big thanks goes out to our friends Bobby and Stacy for hosting :)

Then last Saturday, we took the girls to a costume party. Emma was a beautiful Mermaid that won best costume, and Ava was Batgirl. Some other costumes were a Batman, the good and evil Spiderman, a werewolf, a pirate, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams, and a little Harry Potter, so many awesome costumes this year! They got to bash a pinata, eat lots of yummy Halloween treats, and play with all their friends. They had so much fun! We just love Halloween!















I'm sorry to say I haven't accomplished much knitting, but I have been baking like a crazy person. I've made 4 loafs of pumpkin bread, lots of Halloween cookies, and some Peanut Butter Spider Crackers for Emma to take to school. I plan to start knitting for the holidays. I've gotta get motivated to knit up some presents!!! My plans are to knit a couple pairs of socks, some dish cloths, towels, and scrubbies. I'll probably make the usual scarves and hats too. We'll see how much time I have and if I can even accomplish what I've set out for first, LOL!!!! Wish me luck!
