A Sunday Afternoon

 We had a nice Sunday afternoon.  I enjoyed the internet by catching up with the blog.  Todd is looking online for houses.  It is so fun when we pull up the pictures and get excited.  We are motivated and ready to go look 4:30pm tomorrow!  We did try to use Skype this afternoon, but had some slow internet connections, so didn't really work. We apologize to all those we tried and didn't get through.

 I wanted to show off my Charming Charlies flower headband.  I have gotten numerous compliments over the past few weeks on pretty much everything I got! Thanks for the fun times at the Sisters Retreat!

Halloween Costumes

 Here's the costumes we were for the Branch Halloween party.  I also wore my costume to work on Halloween for that party.  Now the stories behind the costumes.  Thanks to my great sister-in-law, Louise, who has already been thinking of us and giving us clothes, I wanted to use the Yoda ears, even though they are made for a kid.  Since I wanted to be a female version, I was Yoda's Mom.  I came up with name of Yetta.  Then I used my brother's knowledge of Jedi's and Star Wars to create a Jedi looking costume.  Thanks David for your knowledge and Mom for the robe.  

 The story with Todd's costume.  He was a Hidden Meadows Mold Removal Specialist.  Last March, we discovered that we had some mold problems---half a wall was torn down, new sheet rock, cleaned the carpet, 2 weeks later, etc.  So Todd wanted to dedicate his costume to all the residents in Hidden Meadows apartments that had to deal with the mold.

Halloween Bash!

 While the men attended a Weber St. football game, Jill threw the best Halloween bash! I was glad I got an invite! Everyone got to pick their own pumpkin from the field and decorate them. 

 Then as the paint dried, I was well entertained by the numerous trampoline tricks.

 For dinner, we had delicious BBQ sandwiches.

 Afterwards, we played Boo Bingo with excellent prizes!

 But the best game was the spider races! You had to blow through a straw to make your fuzzy spider slide across the floor.

Lafe, with a strong determination to win, decided to just start blowing without the straw so he could win!  Everyone ended up being a winner as we all got ice cream sundaes.  Thanks Jill for the great party!
