HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Flash and Captain America wish you a safe and Happy Halloween!

We enjoyed another fabulous Halloween! We started the evening at a great birthday party for our friend, Anne Hamilton. The boys got to wear their costumes to the party so they were already dressed and ready to go when we got home. We headed to a house or two in the neighborhood and then off to Muzzy and Boppa's for the festivities!

For those of you who don't know...I get my kookie ghoulish tendencies from my Momma. So we always go over there for Halloween because she does it up right!!! We ate our traditional chili with all the fixins. Got all dootied up and went Trick-or Treating. My Aunt Judy, Aunt Laynie and Cousin Renee joined all of us for the evening. The boys loved all the attention they got over their super-hero costumes with built-in muscles.

And More Candy!

Shannon and I used to dress up every year...better yet we used to let my mom dress up in whatever she concocted. We've been King Tut and Cleopatra, Minnie Mouse, Mr. Potato Head...all sorts of stuff. This year we decided to join in the fun again.

Meet the Red-neck-wife-beating-tattooed man and his trashy-beauty-pageant-common-law wife!

(Disclaimer:While Shannon has put on a couple of extra LB's recently...he was adamant about me stating that he WAS forcing his belly out in this shot and the cigarette was NOT his. So he has not gone to the dogs completely.)

I got to experience wearing way too much make up and fake eyelashes, as well as a migraine from wearing a crown all night. Beauty really IS pain!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE BAKER FAMILY!!!

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Carving was a quiet event in the Baker house this year. No formal gathering of friends and family...just us. In case you haven't noticed...my vein of creativity has run dry recently. So...no monogrammed pumpkins like last year, sorry! Just plain ol' Halloween. OK so Shannon and I have our own little competition for our finished products. We let Sam and Fulton be the judges this year. You'll never believe it but...it was a tie. So I need to settle the score. Comment below the post where it says "comment" and let us know which one you like best. Neither are spectacular but it's just something that needs to done!

Who will you vote for?...

The Spooky Pumpkin Face
The Spooky Bat

All competition aside... we always have fun carving pupmkins! Sam and Fu decorated theirs with markers

After baths they ran outside to see their jack-o-lanterns all aglow!

Fu had to get one more look of the "Booky Hoween" outside before he went to bed

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Sam and Fu found a great spot to pose for their annual Pumpkin Patch picture! Fulton shows off his oh so perfect pumpkin!
Sam found a great one too!

We made our annual trip to the TRUMC Pumpkin Patch. Sam and Fulton didn't spend near as much time hunting for the perfect pumpkin as they usually do. Our trip was made in record time. With Halloween being my favorite holiday, I savor every moment that I spend preparing for it! So...this was rather depressing for me! Shannon just doesn't get it!
As usual, we left with a momma, daddy, and two baby pumpkins and two pumpkin for carving. I can't wait!!!
More to come...
