get ready for the halloween shake down!

the season's festivities included...

going to a pumpkin patch with cousin grant

this is my fave. note Dan's disgusted expression.
now direct your eyes to the child on the far left.
that's why.

oh look. happy again.

finding 'the one.'

handsome boy.

and that's when my camera's battery died.

witches' night out.

the geddes girls and I


earl the owl. we met at gardner village.
it was love at first sight.

the nevin witches

we got a little loopy as the night wore on and the sugar kicked in.

what child wouldn't follow this one into her gingerbread house in the woods?!

carving pumpkins - of course.

everyone knows you carve better when you stick your tongue out.

fuits of their labors.

a full range of emotion.

who dun it?

{we are doing our 'menacing' faces here. my fave is dan.}

We had a progressive dinner with each house being a room from the game.

I highly recommend getting a group together and having your own Clue party.

My brother reminded me about Clue: Master Detective Edition

which has more suspects, weapon, and rooms.

toga! toga!

haven't posted for a while. Can you say 'insanely busy'?! But here are some old pics of our recent friend dinner: Gus, Katie, Dan, Moi, Jake & Candis

too bad Cadenbug wasn't naked for this candid.
that would have been perfect.

We get together with these guys once a month for a special dinner. Lately it's evolved to a themed dinner complete with costumes. I know we're dorks. But it's not nice to laugh at other people so you might as well laugh at yourself. (thanks for the pics Katie)
