Halloween Weekend 2011

Delaney had a great idea for a costume and she was excited to put it together. She watched youtube videos on how to design and apply her make up and she made her own Day of the Dead costume and applied her own makeup.

I think she was the only sorority girl on the planet with enough self confidence to go to the parties with her face painted. It freaked everyone out and random people wanted their picture taken with her. Above are two of her good friends Roxy and Kaki. Her boyfriend, Michael, also got dressed up as a Day of the Dead person and looked great. Unfortunately, the only picture I have, sent via text, wont download. I'll try to get it for you later.

Katie went to VEGAS BABY for Halloween. She is pictured above with Pauly D from The Jersey Shore, her bff Kendal and her friend Megan. They were staying at The Palms and were headed out for the night. The elevator randomly stopped on a floor and Katie looked out. She saw Pauly D and as the doors were closing she yelled, "Wait!" and stuck her hand out to stop the doors from closing. She then ran out of the elevator up to Pauly D and the first words she said were, "Kendall is going to die!". Kendall and Megan are still in the elevator confused as to what is going on. Katie calls them over to meet Pauly D. Katie carries on a full conversation with Pauly D while Kendall (who absolutely loves Pauly D) is starstruck and can't utter a word. He invites them to the club where he is the D.J. for the night, but they have other plans and don't go. The bodyguard takes the picture and it is a bad one, but proof non the less.

Katie is "Made in America" for Halloween. She was also a ringmaster, but I don't have any pictures of that yet.

Happy Halloween Weekend!

THING 1 and THING 2 started off their Halloween weekend line dancing at Incahoots.

More to come on various other costumes.

Photo Challenge: Week 8 - Mason Jar and Action

My Handsome Husband makes a delicious chow chow every summer. It is so hard to find green tomatoes here, he usually can only can 3 or 4 jars. This summer a guy at work gave HH a bunch of green tomatoes, so we gave him some chow chow. I dressed it up to make it a little more special.

My usual entertainment, Gus, in full action mode!

Some Updates

Delaney is pictured here with her two roommates, Sydney and Kaki. Delaney received two awards last night in her sorority: highest GPA in her class and Dean's List. We are so proud of her.

Katie is Pledge Mom this year and is loving it. She is teaching all the new little baby Pi Phi's everything they need to know. She also made the Dean's list for the 6th time and is in the top 15% of all the students at San Diego State. We are so proud of her!

Photo Challenge: Week 7 - Faceless Self Portrait & Reminds You of Childhood

Outside the Apple Store at the Spectrum. People lined up outside the door to get the new iphone. Delaney needed a new cover for her phone, luckily we didn't have to wait in the long line.

My mom used to bring home bags of these orange slices when I was a kid. Recently, on a trip to Julian, I saw them and they reminded me of her too.

Shrek The Musical

Last night I went to see Shrek The Musical at the Segrestrom Center for the Arts and it was so fun! I really enjoyed it. FUNNY, good music, good story the 2 1/2 hours just flew by. There were lots of children there and they really enjoyed it, there were no scary parts. Lord Farquaad was hysterical. I definitely recommend this musical for all ages.

Photo Challenge: Week 6 - Silhouette and Sun Flare

I was a little lazy this week in taking my pictures. Busy and not wanting to inconvience anyone, I couldn't get them done by Sun. I wanted to do people in my silhouette, but couldn't get any cooperation. So here is my rose bush.

Sun Flare

I was a little intimidated by this one, but it turned out to be super easy. I love what Cynthia did over at www.vaultofcyn.blogspot.com for her sunflare, but this will do.
