I love this new job, house, life everything and here's why-Last night we had a wicked Halloween Party! We had good 100 people come over to have a great time! Our home faces down a cultdesac with about 7 houses in between but then the end part is still undeveloped land (just paved). Because it was 520 feet (thanks Jax for measuring that out) from our house to the party we set up the tent we use for The Mommy Entourage Craft shows and baked to our hearts content. We used luminarios to separate the entertainment from the seating and had a ball!
We had hired Pyroteque, a fire performing group, to host our party this year (I'm thinking Hot Air Balloon Rides next year?) We were so so happy we did, those guys did freakin awesome and it was a party no one will forget soon. We asked people to bring their favorite Halloween treat and then my January (my long time friend from our pregnancy days with the boys) came over from Charleston to help and have a too-short visit. We made Spiderweb cupcakes, Halloween frosted cupcakes, Grave bones brownies, Orange colored pumpkin rice crispy treats on skewers dipped in chocolate, 'Dog food' muddy buddies mixed with popped corn served in cans decorated with painted Halloween polka dots.
Up the street, in the house was showing 'The Scary Godmother'. Apple Cider and Hot chocolate was served up by pumpkin bowling in the dining room. We did have bobbing for apples but my darling Miss. Allie soaked herself by taking a bite out of each and every apple and throwing it back so that was a no-go. I am so very grateful to Jaxon (and mine) work friends Travis and Angie who came early for dinner and got put to work. I could have never done it with out the help of Jan and Angie especially-I was a crazy person about 15 minutes before the party-I'm sure its really hard to imagine that huh?
Korbin had a total blast and told everyone that this was his birthday party cause his mom and dad are cheap-I'd like to know of any other 6 year olds that get fire people instead of a birthday- little turd! Anyways, I loved this and cant wait to have kick butt parties year after year!!

Wow, that sounds like quite the undertaking! Entertaining 100 people?! No wonder you feel like you live in an insane asylum! Good for you! I'm glad you're enjoying you new home.
Who is that little girl and what did you do with Miss Allie?? She has gotten SO big! Oh we miss you guys so much! That party looks like so much fun...and no I'm not going to show Tyler and Derek these pictures because they will be so jealous we aren't your neighbors anymore!
I love your hair! It is super cute! I'm trying to get the courage to go dark...I have wanted to do it for awhile, but I really think I'm going to do it :)
Looks like fun. You look fabulous and the kids are so beautiful. I couldn't figure out your costume though. You look like you and Jax looks like Jax. What did you end up doing? Miss you!
