Halloween

This Halloween with Mya was much more fun than last.  She kind of understood the concept and had a blast being a trick-or treater!

Our neighbors had a Halloween Party.  We then went out with a large group to do some more trick-or-treating.  This was the first time that I have felt like my little baby was growing up.  She went up to the houses with the "big kids" while Mommy and Daddy stood with the other parents and watched on.

Our little kitty cat trick-or-treating!

Mommy had to accompany Mya at first.  She was a little confused.  She would say "trick or treat" all the way to the door and then freeze-up when the person opened the door.

Mya got SUPER excited when trick-or-treaters came to the door.  She would run to the door screaming "SUCKER!"  She thought she got a sucker everytime someone came to the door.  We then found her hiding with the bucket of candy.  She had opened multiple suckers, taken a lick, and then put into a pile.  Sneaky little kitty!

I made these cupcakes for the party.  I was pretty impressed with myself! I never pride myself on being a baker....but they were cute and tasted yummy too!

HOFF-O-WEEN

Matt's friend, Matt Hoffman, was on Big Brother (CBS reality show) this season.  It was so fun (and  stressful and embarrassing) to watch him on the show.  He didn't always make the best impression, but he really is a good guy.  Every year, he has a Hoff-o-ween party.  We made an extra effort to go to the party this year because some of the other Big Brother castmembers were going to be there!  I have always been a fan of the show (even before Hoff was on it) so I was pretty starstruck.

Matt is going to kill me for this.... BUT... it's the only decent picture I got with castmembers Kristen and Ragan.  This was at about 11:00 and jello-shots were being passed around.  Matt was John McEnroe (tennis player), Kristen (Super hero???), and Ragan (Jesus).
