This is Halloween!!!

We held our 4th annual Halloween Party at our house this year!!!  Things were a little squishy but I think that made it more fun!!! Thank you to all our wonderful friends for indulging us and coming all dressed up!!  Our favorite part is seeing what creative costumes you come up with... and which pictures we can use as blackmail.... Jake.... - just kidding!!!  And not to mention the KICK-BUTT job the girls did against the boys in Battle of the Sexes... What was the final score... Oh yeah, like 15000 to 7000??? Hmmm.... But thanks for being such great sports guys (TJ & Scottie!!!)  HeHe!!! 
I had some requests for the recipe for the Witches Brew -

(AKA Rootbeer) so I thought I would just post it for all to have if they want it...

1 bottle rootbeer concentrate
8 cups sugar
4 gallons water
5-6 lbs dry ice

Heat about 1 gallon of water to dissolve the sugar then add all ingredients to a 5 gallon container. Add Dry ice and Viola....It is ready when you are!!!


Enjoy all the pics of the costumes.....

Starting with First Place winner of costume contest:


Runners-up (in order of appearance!!!):


Thanks to all our fabulous friends for coming and making our night so fun!!!  And I also want to thank my cute mom for all her hard work in making me and Michaelangelo's Turtle shells look so dang cool!!!  You only THOUGHT you were done making Halloween Costumes for your children!!!
Can't wait until next year!!!

Wow! You guys look amazing! I have to agree, though -- the Ghostbusters couple was definitely the best!
