quote for the day

Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you are saying." Ralph Waldo Emerson

October has flown by. Can't believe that I blinked and it will be November next week. Tomorrow is Kota's birthday party and it is going to be a costume party. We figured we would get the most wear out of the costumes and not just wear it once for trick or treating. However, I think the party has bitten the parents. We have been decorating fiends. We have 13 tombstones in our yard and we set up tiki torches and tables and got a fog machine. The walls of the garage now look as if they are old, peeling wallpaper with mona lisa aka medusa picture and some other accessories. Kota did not want gross looking food so we are keeping it simple with pizza, finger jello, chips, cake, and ice cream. But we do have a mad scientist lab that has gross stuff in jars. hee hee! He is so excited for Saturday night! It will be fun! hope everyone else has a great weekend too!

ooh i wish we had acreage sometimes so we could do the haunted field. Nicholas had a friend do it and Vincent hid in the fields and would jump out at the teens and scare them. it was great. plus they had a haunted barn.

my brothers took it to extreme...for example: Dan had a paper mache' pumpkin head that he wore. He lit the sucker on fire, while it was on his head, and chased the kids around. Joe took a chainsaw, cut the branches off a tree, then grabbed one that he had taken the chain off of, and chased the kids with it... They are nuts! now you know where I get my craziness! LOL
