The Big Day

 Adam planned a little halloween get together and we invited a few friends. It was nice and low-key and we really enjoyed ourselves. While waiting for the guests to arrive, Adam decided to take a few (actually more like 30) pictures outside. So here are a couple...

Our third home in this city in 14 months:)

 self-portrait (went a little overboard on the "blood", right?:)

Cute butterflies, right?!

Our super mario friends:)

So, yeah, I changed Jack and Sadie's costumes to a cute lil devil and a cute lil angel. And, just for the record, the only way that I chose who was going to dress up as who was solely by availability of clothes! Jack happened to have the red options, and Sadie had more white. They're both angels to us! (And little devils every once in a while too.) So here's Jack, our cute little devil! Guy was right... he does look kinda like a little girl. A pretty chunky little girl;) Is it the red? Or the fact that he's wearing Sadie's leggings under the red shorts? 

Adam loved being in charge of handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters! We only had a handful of knocks, though (any takers for the leftover candy?).  

Scary, scary Dracula 

She really is our little angel...though sometimes we see a cute little devil in those eyes too ;)

The troublemakers! 

We attempted trick-or-treating for a little bit. Great Halloween weather... in the 40s!

While Adam was getting in the shower to wash the Dracula off, Jack and Sadie found his candy stash!

 Oh yeah...

So excited for the candy! R.I.P. to the kit-kat in his hand, btw. Minutes later it took a bath in the toilet... before Adam had a chance to flush it. ...TMI? ;)

 "Ghostly" curtains, glow-in-the-dark jello (that didn't really work, bummer), oreo truffles, cookie-cutter cheese in nummy chili... what more makes a halloween party?!

 Of course the oreo truffles got dressed up too!

Happy Halloween!

We tried

Well, we tried tonight. I didn't get any pictures at our ward's Halloween party, which was pretty amazing btw. I snapped a few on my phone when we got home (camera battery died!) though, so they'll have to do until I can take some more on Halloween day itself. Plus, I apparently need to modify Jack and Sadie's costumes. They're supposed to be a football player and a cheerleader, but their costumes looked kinda lame because they wouldn't hang on to their props! (Jack has a football and Sadie has some pom poms, etc… guess we'll have to work on it for Monday.)

This football player wouldn't hurt a fly:)

Love her cute little looks!

Sadie was scared beyond words to wake up from her nap only to find Dracula had replaced her favorite big brother! She eventually calmed down, but was easily set off again.

Adam, on the other hand, was THRILLED to be Dracula! He was so excited to do the face make-up and practice his Dracula moves (apparently he has some). Blood and all.

Happy (almost) Halloween!

P.S. We showed up at the party only to find out that they were having a chili cook-off competition. I mentioned to Guy that apparently I should've put more thought into it! Turns out... we ended up with 2nd place! Oh yeah. I've got mad chili skills, I guess. ;)
