Halloween 2009

Belle the Feisty Cheetah

Sassy Pink Witch

80's Chick

Halloween is always a fun time at the Smith house. We've got the Smith Family party complete with homemade chicken noodle soup, bread bowls, and games. The kids dress up and we all stuff ourselves silly and have a good time. Then on Halloween night we eat broccoli cheese soup in bread bowls (again), sugar cookies, and candy.

But, this year Belle got really sick. We think it was the Swine Flu, but didn't really have her checked. All her symptoms pointed to that so we treated it as such. She did make it out trick or treating with the aid of Tamiflu (which cost us $90) and Advil but didn't make it long. The party at school was tainted too. She really wanted to go, but was so sick she couldn't make it through the party. I had already signed up to help with a game at one of the stations so I took her anyway. Her fever was raging by the time we got home and she ended up sleeping most of the afternoon. But we survived and are now on the mend. We'll hope for better luck next year.

I did like my costumes I wore to work for "costume week" though. Fun stuff!

Sad, sick little kitty

Storm Toopers, Dead Soccer Players and 80's Aerobic Instructors "Oh, my"!

Aahh, Halloween. One of my favorite holidays. But this year was even better because instead of just one costume we had many. Between the kids and I we wore 8 different outfits. What fun! I got to dress up for two parties, 3 different days of work, and Halloween night. Tre was Darth Vader for the most part but got to dress up as a dead soccer player for gymnastics and Nana's. And Belle was just a storm trooper. She is just like her dad...when she makes up her mind she just doesn't change it.

You think I'm hot, huh?!

Witches Tea

This year I was invited to my friend, Chelsea's, yearly Witches Tea. Here's the deal. Everyone dresses up as witches. This years' theme was "glamorous" and there is a prize for best dressed. Dinner was served on a gorgeously decorated table, games were played, friends were made, prizes were won, and fun was had! What a great party. Thank you so much for inviting me Chels. I had a fabulous time.
