HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Happy Halloween from What's Bakin'?!!!

Daddy Vamp with his Babies

(Sam loves this picture)

Once again, we stuck with our tradition of going to Muzzy and Boppa's for our pre-treating Chili dinner. We filled our bellies and hit the streets. It was a quiet but super fun Halloween. The boys got more than enough candy!!! It should last them until at least Christmas. After they finished trick-or-treating, we took the home and hosed all the black paint our of their hair and took them to the Overdykes for a special Halloween sleepover! I can safely say...They had a great night!!!!

I can see the determination on their faces!!!! Men on a mission!

Trick or treat!!!!

The making of a VAMPIRE

Sam and Fulton crack me up!

This year, early-on they decided to be Clone Troopers (think Star Wars) for Halloween. Now, most of you know my sick obsession with a home-made costume. I get it honestly!!!! I very reluctantly purchased the costumes early...as they run out of the little sizes quickly! All the while BEGGING the boys to let me make them something spooky or gross. BUUUUT NOOOOOOO. We have to be Clone Troopers, Mommy! Well, Thursday Night before bed, Sam breaks into a tizzy-fit because he wants to be a Vampire. And guess what...so does Fulton. Thanks God capes and fangs don't cost a fortune so I went out on Halloween morning and scooped up what I could find to transform them into Vamps!

The hair is slicked...with lots of mousse and hairspray!!!

Sprayed black

What happened to my two toe-heads???

Apply make-up...

It was at that moment that I realized that I have the extreme potential to be a raging stage mom. I was surprised none of my neighbors called DSS.

Make up's done, white shirt, black pants, red cummerbunds...

Now give me your mean vampire faces!!!!

Welcome to Bakervania!!!!

The Italian Festival

Fulton found a cozy little rock to sit on
Sam and Fu running around and dancing

They were making up their own version of the Tarantella

My dad is on the planning committee for the Italian Festival sponsored by the Sons of Italy. We decided to take a stroll down to Riverfront Park to give the festival a whirl. This is the first year they've done it. I think it turned out quite well. There were lots of people there eating, drinking and enjoying the music. Dad's band played later in the evening.
