Yesterday was perhaps the funnest Halloween of my adult life. Why you ask? Because I got to relive my childhood and trick-or-treat with the same person I trick-or-treated with when I was a young'un--Adrea (better pictures to come when Adrea emails me her pix hint hint). And Gabby's costume was a success. 
She wore it to school on Friday and told me how "annoying" it was that everyone kept saying, "oh Gabby, you look so beautiful. . ." and "Wow, I love your dress." Gabby's teacher took her around to all the teachers, office workers and even the school nurse, telling everyone that Gabby's mom MADE the dress. In reality, Gabby loved every ounce of attention, she just likes playing it cool.
In Alex's enthusiasm, he jumped out of the stroller to ring each doorbell, frequently forgetting his trick-or-treat bag.
Oliver wore my favorite chicken costume (the one both Gabby and Alex have worn). Henry (Josh and Adrea's son) was Max from "Where the Wild Things Are."
And Ari (Alex's favorite baby in the whole world) was a Wild Thing.

For dinner, we had eyeball soup, sandWITCHES, smokin' cider and pumpkin pie while the kids watched a movie (Noah permitted them to eat when we were all done).
Best holiday EVER!

What kind of eyeballs did you use for the soup?
ReplyDeleteI find cow eyeballs are very expensive in Utah. Are they cheaper in Indiana?
they're cheaper when you go with artificial eyes made out of mozzarella cheese balls and pimento stuffed olives.
ReplyDeleteThe costume turned out great! What a fun dinner idea, did you come up with the eyeball soup yourself?
ReplyDeleteNo, I owe the idea to Martha Stewart.

ReplyDeleteI love the dress, but the soup creeps me out! You are so creative, and talented, and you make such stinkin' cute kids!
ReplyDeleteI love the dress - will you make one for me?! And who makes eyeball soup out of REAL eyeballs? GROSS! I thought yours were a lot more appetizing!
