She's a Hoot...

I feel almost overwhelmed by blog material, which means only one thing. Nothing gets blogged about. However, Farah requested some pictures of the Doodle in her Halloween costume. So apparently, my blog has become TRL, and I'm fine with that because it means I may actually blog. Without further ado...Halloween 2009.

Our Small Group traditionally has a party thrown by the ever fabulous Shaw Family. This year's theme? Famous Couples. And as you can see, they were not only famous, but epic!

The Shaws as Alice and that Oh-So-Mad Hatter!


The Patterson's as Nomar Garciaparra and Mia Hamm.


The Baldizon's as Ketchup, Mustard and a Hot Dog!


And us as, ha ha, The Shaws! And the Doodle as an owl. A super cute owl.


It was a wonderful evening of food, friends, and fall themed games. But the fun couldn't end there, no. The next night (actual Halloween) we headed over to the Harvest Festival with the Baldizon's and the Grindy's. While it was a little 'old' for our kids, we all had fun hanging out, and heck, I'm all for any excuse to see Ada as a sweet little owl.

The Baldizon's ditching the condiment costumes, and opting for some subtler ones. Gotta love that cute Darth Vader!


The Grindy's, aka 'The Jedi Clan'.


We figured no one would appreciate our Michael and Farah costumes since no one here knew Michael and Farah, so we went for Karate Master and Starbucks Barista (aka, stuff we had in our closet.)




It's almost too cute, right? Right.

I have a big concern. Everyone is commenting on the owlet, but no one is commenting how handsome Jon looks. I mean, he is dressed up as me. Come on people...
