THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Chandra brought her kids down for a Halloween Visit. We had such a wonderful time. We took this photo right before we headed out trick-or-treating. Happy Halloween!

Halloween Party...For the Big Kids

Our Awesome friends, the Allreds, threw a great halloween party for the grown-ups. Our costume.... Mobsters, of course. We just had to get back to our LV roots.
So here we are.... Boopsie (on the left), Sticky Fingers (in the middle), and me... I'm The Needle. Isn't make believe fun???
And I just have to post all the other great costumes. Here's Amelia Earhart, and her husband, a 1970's cop (or in my mind, a cast member from the Beastie Boys video "Sabotage")
CSI, and her "Knock-Out" husband
Wendy and Colonel Sanders (AKA our Hosts)
The Doctor and the knocked-up nurse
Jack and Jill, with a broken crown and black eyes
The pirates
The fantasy
Audrey Hepburn and the King himself... Elvis
Candidates for "Best Costume"... Mit Romney and Sarah Palin
Medusa in her custom dress (made by her daughter) and the man she turned to stone
Best Costume winners, Ghostbuster and the DoughBoy
Snow White and Gumpy
A roll reversal, FBI agent and pregnant Mom
Woopie and the Cowgirl
After a yummy dinner and lots of laughs, we played several games. One of them was a doughnut eating contest. Notice in the first picture, the man of stone is not opposed to eating off the ground. Some people will do anything to win. :)


This one makes me laugh so hard, every time I see it.
OUR WINNER, who nearly gagged on the string, the stone man.
What a fun night! Thanks Allreds.
