Halloweenie Teenie

Halloween has traditionally been one of our most favorite and involved holidays. Although we aren't into dressing up much...pumpkin carving usually begins in September for us. Maybe this goes back to one of our first dates carving pumpkins at Mandy's apartment at the University Village (October '99). And of course October is one of the most fun months of the year to visit Disneyland!

We boiled our Halloween down to about 3 hours of fun this year. One hour handing-out candy as "Jason" and the "great bumpkin" and two hours at dinner with friends. 

I also had fun helping put on a haunted house at the homeless shelter last week with our good friend Karl and our XYZ network group from work. Karl went as the joker. I was Jason (what a great easy costume) and got to run the strobe light and fog machine! Lots of fun but I lost my voice from trying to scare the little five year-old kids... oh and their parents too.

Tina had lots of fun and wore herself out. Although this may have just been from a sugar coma induced by the chocolate chip Pizookie we at BJ's at dinner. A Pizookie is a very large cookie cooked in a small mini-pizza deep dish pan. It is brought out hot and gooey with vanilla ice-cream on top. That's goooooood stuff. So Tina passed out and Karl and I finished the night watching Resident Evil: Apocalypse (much better than the first). I love fall....a fun holiday every month! Got to start getting my stomach in-shape for Thanksgiving.
