Halloween 2008

We attended two Halloween parties this year....the first was hosted by sharonandrew's daughter in Westerville...sharon, kim and marcy went as the supremes...look at them...to cool for school:

Noreen was along to chaperon the event and ensure the safety of the Supremes:

The next party was at my Mom's....here we have Witch Kim, Deb as the Kiss Fan, the Red Devil Kelly and I was a mad scientist for the evening...

We played lots of games including pool, word games, a halloween madlib and a cookie decorating contest...here is my winning cookie, ok maybe not, i can't find the picture!!

Happy Halloween!!!

chicagoland company

we were blessed with the company of our chicagoland friends, laura and jane, this weekend...although i didn't catch a lot of moments on film we had an eventful couple of days starting at the airport friday night through a visit to my mom's on sunday afternoon...a weekend full of laughs, throw in a few antique shops minus one for me, the traditional tootfest hummus, mexican food, a big fire and a couple adult beverages and that was our weekend.....jane became quite attached to little miss nelly and shared her bed with both nelly and ruby..because they are a package deal....it was a great weekend and we hope laura and jane book a return trip in the future....always fun to be had a good manor.
