A Week Long Halloween

Halloween was like a week long this year, on Monday we went to the Ghost House. It's not Halloween with out a visit to the Little Ghost House in town. I remember going here when I was little and it hasn't changed a bit.We went with Jenn and Christian"Indiana Jacob" I mean JonesJustin was a T- Bird from one of my favorite Movies "Grease" I found him this awesome leather jacket then add these letters and the bird that I cut out from sticky back felt.Jessica wanted to be Juliet from the new Taylor Swift video "Love Story" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4xmxb9K8RI

Surprise! We ran into their cousin Ariel while we were there. The girls were too silly and wouldn't stand still for a picture!The best part! The carmel apples and only about $3.00 each! What a deal!

On Tuesday we carved the pumpkins

Made Halloween cake pops for the cub scout pack meeting and Halloween party. http://bakerella.blogspot.com/

My friend Lisa bought me this cute lolli pop stand last week! and then Justin informs me that his book report is due the next day! I just love it when that happens! So then we stayed up late doing this book report.

On Wednesday we went to the church Halloween Carnival but before that my cell phone broke so I had to run and get a new one. And I have no pictures because I forgot my camera and I didn't have time to run home and get it because I had to run back to the cell phone store to pick up my new phone and be back at the carnival by 7 to run the bean bag booth from 7-8. So after the carnival we drop the 3 little ones at home and I wrap up the m&m cookies I baked earlier in cello bags and curling ribbon to drop off at 6 football players houses with posters and streamers to decorate their houses before the big home coming game. Oh but first we had to run to walgreens because target didn't have the "runts" candy one of the boys had suggested was his favorite. Then we go to Jordan's best friends house and get in her car with her mom to drive all over decorating houses and delivering the treats. So we finally get home about 10:45. and I call in to see if I have to go to jury duty the next morning and of course I do cause I'm not going crazy already! Jessica coughs all night with her asthma cough( no sleep).Here's a picture of my cute new phone!

Thursday: bring Jessica to Judy's go to jury duty (not fun) really really sucks. After I get out for the day ( I have to go back on monday).I call the doctor for Jessica because she is still coughing really bad go to Kaiser that is always fun and they are always really quick (just kidding)! Then I get to go to the pharmacy and spend $150. Rush to pick up Jordan from school go home for a few minutes Jordan has to cheer at the freshmen football game tonight so I take her to the football field (it's raining)then rush back to the other side of town to take Jessica to ballet but we are late and now she is coughing too much and doesn't want to dance today and the dancing and jumping would just make her coughing more. so we just watch and try on her costume or the Nutcracker that is in a few weeks. Then I had to go home and make the cupcakes for Jessica's class the next morning. I made pumpkin cupcakes with real pumpkin in them!

Here is Jessica Halloween morning before school.

Friday arrive at work and find out that both of my assistants have decided to call in sick! Happy Halloween to me Trick or Treat? I think it's a trick! So I'm very irritated now! Then because they are not there I didn't get a chance to go up stairs to watch Jessica's class do their parade, ok really really mad now! After work I needed to go to the Stanford shopping center to pick up some "sprinkles" cupcakes they were having a special carmel apple cupcakes Halloween week only. http://www.sprinklescupcakes.com/

I have to wait a few minutes for the cupcakes so I run into Williams Sonoma to buy a princess cookie cutter set for Jessica's birthday that is in November. Then we stop by Michael's work to bring him a cupcake and some other treats Jessica made at school. I'm supposed to be at the high school at 3pm to decorate for the homecoming dance so we get there as soon as we can. When we are done decorating we go to the store to buy a pinata for the football game, more on that later. We get ready for the dance and I am supposed to chaperone and wear a costume so put on my old cheer uniform from high school throw my hair up in a pony and finish it with a bow sorry no pics of that one! LOL! So we get to there lat but there really was no reason for us to be early and it took for awhile to decide what to wear army girl, boy scout or cheerleader. Well the dance is so boring and I am totally missing taking the kids trick or treating. Sooooooooo I sneak out of the dance and meet up with Michael and the kids and trick or treat looking like a cheerleader in the rain! When we got home Michael and the boys left to go motocross racing for the weekend. But before they left I got out the cookies that I had been promising Jessica she could decorate for Halloween and we discovered that the boys had eaten almost all of the cookies before we could decorate them! Jessica as so made at the boys it was so cute. Lucklily there were about 8 or 10 left just enough for Jessica to decorate. Poor thing was so tired and sick you can really see it in her eyes she can barely keep them open.She was so proud of her cookie a and her candy stash! I'm so glad Halloween is over it was a very scarey week!!
