Halloween 2014

Was another fun one!

  We did the usual- dinner at the clubhouse, costume contest, then hayride trick or treating.... 

 LOVE our neighborhood!!!

*****

Prissy was Little Anna..

*****

A-man was a brave Knight!

*****

Jo-bo was a zombie

{and let me just say... the man got himself ready and did a FINE job!!}

*****

I was??  Not really sure.. just threw this on ;-)

*****

Aren't they presh!

*****

And Cooner was here- we loved having her!  

*****

Or super cool neighbors were Hunger Game Peeps!  They are so fun!!

*****

SO FUN!!!!

*****

I was a mean momma and declared that we must "use what we have this Halloween and NOT buy anything" gasp!!!!  I know - worst mother ever... right?  Well.  We all had a ball and no one asked us if our costumes were new or old :)

Halloween BUNCO!

October was my month to host our neighborhood BUNCO! 

 So... my theme was of course 

HALLOWEEN!!!

*****

I decked out the Dining room with the help of the kiddos!

*****

I went easy with the food- Mexican.

*****

Witches Brew of course!

and I gave out these fake teeth {blue box in picture}- seriously the HARDEST that I have EVER laughed... I so wish we had taken more pics of those being worn.  

*****

Here is my JoBo.... 

I nearly pee myself every time I see this :)

*****

lastly... the costume!

The kiddos settled on Cleopatra.

I tried on a dozen things from our dress-up box- she was the winner.  + she was FREE- no doubt she was morphed from Prissy's 2nd grade Egyptian project and an angel costume... with a touch of gold trim and a pair of A-man's pirate clip on earrings...

a labor of love!

*****

We had a blast!!!

Prissy named the zombie bride as "2014 BUNCO Halloween Queen".  We all agreed!  Melissa bought a wedding gown from Goodwill and cut it up the shreds.. 

She so got my vote too :)

A southern BBQ teacher luncheon...

My sweet friend Shayne and I are taking on the teacher luncheons again this year!  It has been great fun {and I genuinely mean that} but we are stepping down after this year- thus we must go out in a bang.  This years first quarter luncheon was a Southern BBQ theme...

*****

We had pulled pork and all the fix in's

*****

checkered pennants all over everywhere :)
and what shindig would be complete without a grapevine chandy???

*****

a photo booth... 

with a cameo from my cowboy
{I still can not bring myself to part with him from A-man's 5th b-day}

*****

and a s'more bar...

*****

 YES!

 I said
 a S'more Bar-
 with gourmet chocolates and all kinds of fancy!!

*****

I think they liked it ;)

YEE-HAW!
