Happy Halloween!!!

Brad and I have been pretty busy with him in school studying 24/7 and me working and keeping the rest of our lives in order, but our good friends Jen and BJ had their Halloween party and it couldn't have come at a better time. We had a hard time figuring out what to dress up as, we finally settled with Nerds. I headed to DI to find fun stuff for the party. Here we are! (Believe it or not, those are really Brad's chemistry goggles!)

The party was a lot of fun, we've gotten to know Jen and BJ's family throughout this last year and so we felt very comfortable with everyone there! This is BJ bobbing for an apple, which was fun to watch, Brad and I weren't feeling brave.

The doughnut eating contest was the best part because win or lose, you got a really good doughnut, but the Chapman siblings pretty much dominated at this game! There was no chance for me.
With Brad being super busy and me not being allowed to bother him, I've been trying to find things to do! For halloween I decided I will bake... a lot. These are for the cake walk for the ward party and I took some to the neighbor that we "phantomed" and then I'm making 4 dozen for work on Saturday, like I said I have to find something the keep me busy!
This is the first year I get to be home to pass out candy to the little trick or treaters! I always have to leave that for Brad because I have worked every year. But I'm excited for it this year, and to see all the cute costumes.
I love getting fun mail, and I was talking to Linda about how I have no Halloween decorations, and what comes in the mail?! The absolutely cutest mummy!! Brad and I love him, he had a spot as soon as he came out of the package. A Big Big Thank you Linda!!!
This was actually Brad's idea because of my complaining about not having anything fun to put up! I paid $.75 for this and what a cute decoration!
I love carving pumpkins so almost the day we got them I made a "Love Pumpkin" for Brad! It's cheesy but it was so fun to do and surprise him with. I did lips and hearts all over it!
This the new pumpkin, I did him a few days ago! And I found the cutest baby pumpkin, have I said that I love Halloween?
This is all of my decorations for the outside, I have my cute welcome sign, the window clings, the "phantom" thing the neighborhood is doing, the light hanging, and the pumpkins!
Hope everyone has a very fun and safe Halloween weekend!

I love all your cute decorations! Especially the porch light pumpkin! What a fun one. Your pumpkin carving skills are impressive. I hate scraping out pumpkins. I always make someone else get all the strings out for me. Good job with the nerd costumes. They turned out really cute. I love seeing what you are up to. You should blog more often. You know, in all your free time. ;) Hope you have a Happy Halloween and enjoy passing out candy!

What fun!!! I love your cute decorations. I'm on the lookout for a cute little witch to sit on my shelf. I finally broke down and bought candy corn today. Mimi was begging for the Whoppers, but I told her to wait three more days.

Your costumes turned out really fun! The skirt and shirt were perfect. :) And Brad was a good sport...I love the matching costumes. Keep the cute cupcakes coming! Those are fun. Enjoy your Halloween! I love you tons. :)
