Around This Time....Back Then

I think I'm going to start doing this every once in a while just to conjure up some really cool memories, so long as I have a picture to go along with it just so you can imagine what it was like to be there! I thought Halloween was the perfect time to start since we had an awesome time last year. A few weeks before Halloween, we carved pumpkins at mom's house and went to a local haunted house (which is at the mining museum in northern Colorado Springs and is actually one of the top-ranked in the country). Here we are about to carve out our masterpieces! Look at my honey in front!

Good friends (practically family), Brian and Karrah, hosted a Halloween party that my entire family attended, including my grandma. The food was amazing and we all got a hoot out of the costumes. Leave it to my dear sweet husband to make a lasting Halloween impression. His snake-charmer costume was such a hit...and my grandma just about had a stroke from laughing so much at it! If you can't tell, there's a thin string connecting the snake to Malu's flute. Crazy guy! We miss you so much this year!

I'm sure Roz's and my costumes look familiar to everyone. They made an appearance at last weekend's Halloween party, which I blogged about a few days ago. Hey, no harm or foul in re-wearing last year's costumes! And my brother was Dog the Bounty Hunter. His fiance, Jolene, was appropriately dressed as Dog's wife...gosh, what's her name?

Anyway, Karrah (not shown) was Cupid and she made a giant heart for people to pose and take pictures with. Here's me and my sweet love....and our beloved snake!

Well, I'm expecting tons of trick-or-treaters tomorrow since the weather's been unbelievably warm for the past few days. It should be fun, but a lot more quiet this year since everyone's kinda doin' their own thing! Happy Halloween everyone!
