Halloween

This year Halloween was a bit crazy for us. I always like to get over to see my niece and nephews in their costumes before giving out candy at my house. This can be a bit difficult and rushed because even though they only live about 8 miles from us, it takes about 30 min with all the traffic there is on Fridays. Brad and I headed over around 4:30 to see the Lion (Owen), Dorothy (Mackenzie), the Scarecrow (B man) and the Tin Man (Kyle). My sister in laws mom, who I've given major props to several times on my blog for her unbelievable sewing talent, once again made the kids costumes. They were gorgeous and I hope we're lucky enough to be blessed with these hand-me-downs some day.

After seeing the kids all dressed up, we rushed back home to give out candy to our trick or treaters. We get a TON of them since our neighborhood is filled with kids. People even drive into our neighborhood from other neighborhoods to trick or treat. I think it's the close proximity of the houses and the sidewalks that makes it desirable for trick or treating. Because we had a party to go to ourselves, we were trying to hand out candy and get into our costumes at the same time. Maura came over all dressed, so she relieved me of my duties for a while. I had to laugh when I heard a trick or treater ask her if she was a rocker chick. Maura replied "no I'm a girl from the 80's" and the little girl just gave her a blank stare and then Mo said " you weren't born then." Needless to say, Maura and I were 80's girls and Brad was super trooper.

Gotta love the BFF split heart necklaces!

The party was hosted by one of my friends from Univ of Hartford. Even though my stay at UHA was short lived (2 years before transferring to Towson) I love the friends I made there. They are so much fun and 100% responsible for my annebriated condition on Friday night. I had an absolute blast and it was worth the hangover I nursed all day Saturday.
