Yes...I am almost a month behind....but here it is Halloween!

Charlotte and Fairy

I am so, so behind on posting blogs. I think I have computer phobia during the evening...which is unfortunate because that is when I typically blog. So much of my work (besides the baking part) is on the computer...emailing clients, putting together quotes, doing "paperwork." So when evening comes in the Vann household and dinner has been eaten, the dog has been walked and I have free time, the last thing I feel like doing is firing up the good ol' computer once more for more screen time. Nope. Lately, I have been all about reading, playing a game of crib with Nick or movie watching. Not to mention the fact that my bedtime is around 9pm (I blame it on the time change and the dark skies arriving around 4:30pm). So I am uber behind on my posts, but whatever...it gets done when it gets done.

So...Halloween weekend we had a full house. The Mag 7 came together once again for some lounging time, participation in a ragin' BUNCO party and a home improvement project. Check it out!

We had a great turn out for our Halloween Costume BUNCO party and the Anker Cafe. The perfect venue for a large crowd! I didn't get every one's photo...but if you were there and your picture isn't below...send it to me and I will happily add it. I know I am missing some Animal Control peeps, another Polyester dude & tourist, as well as Salt & Pepper (seasonings, not the rappers)!

The Card Players:

The 1950's Housewife and her Construction Working/Beer Drinking Husband:

Poison Ivy, Pirate and Skunk

The Bump (road construction/bun in the oven) and Tourist:

Bacon & Eggs!!!

Scary hooded man with dark eyes:

The Polyester Queen and "Dave From Work"
Shrek and Fionna:

Hippie (holding our little Skunk):

Dad was the General Contractor for installing our back awning that weekend as well. Our goal was not only to protect us from the adverse weather while coming and going from the house but to also give Charlotte a dry place to perch if it happened to rain on a day she was outside.

The Before:
The After:

On Sunday, while Dad was redeeming his birthday present (a professional message) and Nick and Matt were up on Galbrieth...Mom, Ami, Delya and I went to Hovander Park for some animal viewing-park walking-pumpkin admiring time. It was great!
Thanks for a great weekend...perhaps the Costume-BUNCO party will be an annual event. You should definitely come next year!
