Halloween 2010

I love to do things that are "festive". So, in October I was able to do a few "festive" things for Halloween. Kendrick also got in on the festive stuff--even if we celebrated it at home because we couldn't go out!

First, on Friday, October 22, I went with my mom and sisters to "Witches Night Out" at Gardner Village. We went there to celebrate Paula and Emilee's birthdays, which are in October. Everyone dresses up in witch costumes and there is music playing and lots of things going on. Some people really get into it!

Here we all are. My mom gave us a cute small purse that we all had with us that night.

We ate dinner at Archibald's--it was delicious!

This is an example of people who really get into Witches Night Out. These two were staring us down and walking toward us. We all ran away from them--except my mom, she posed for a picture with them.

The annual Pumpkin Party was on Saturday, October 23rd. We were unable to attend because we didn't think we should take Kendrick around so many kids and some of them had been sick. So, I dressed him in one of his Halloween outfits and pretended that we went to the Pumpkin Party. Oh well, there is always next year!

On Thursday, October 28th, we had our annual Drill Team Halloween Party. We went to Pirate Island again this year and had a great time. It was karaoke night and so the girls have a lot of fun singing and dancing.

I wore an old army uniform of my dad's. I didn't have a whole lot of time this year to figure a costume out, so I just did something simple.

The team put my name and Marci's name on the list. They put us down to sing "Dancing Queen". So, we went up on stage and did it--luckily no one got a picture. At least not that I know of. That was the first time I think I had ever done something like that. It wasn't too bad. At least it was a song that I was familiar with!

We dressed Kendrick up on Halloween, well, Saturday, October 30th. We didn't take him out anywhere, but I wanted to dress him up anyway for his first Halloween.

Hope you all had a fun Halloween and did something festive during the month!
