If I actually had anything important to say, I would probably update this thing more frequently...as it is, it is time for another update.
So...last Friday was Halloween and I had the day off from work. :) We decorated the front entrance of our house again with glow-in-the-blacklight spiderweb, and other creepy Halloween type stuff. We also put some up outside the house to enhance the look. Then Michelle took an old pair of cover-alls I have, stuffed them and sat our "man" in a chair in the front yard. I gave him a Jason mask, Michelle built him a cardboard axe - complete with blood - and we were set for the night. Michelle put on a pumpkin costume and I wore my green glowy mask and waited for the kids to come. And waited...and waited some more. We had candy for almost 50 kids, and were lucky if we got 20. VERY dissapointing. About 8:30 we decided to call it a night and went for supper.
Saturday was to be a busy day. With the mother-in-law coming to stay the weekend, we had to tidy up a bit, watch the hockey game and then get ready for the Halloween party at Derek's. As some of you may know I was going as Uncle Fester. With the shaved head it seemed like the thing to do. Covered my head with a green/white mixture of makeup, added the black around the eyes and I was Uncle Fester! Michelle went as a sexy vampire and looked amazing.
We stopped at the liquor store to get a little something to drink. One of the girls working there said "you look just like Uncle Lester!"...yeah...Uncle Lester...exactly what I was going for. LOL I didn't bother to correct her, but I did say "I woke up this morning with a full head of hair and really wanted to make the costume work..." She totally believed me. Not saying she was dumb or anything...
So we get to Derek's house and Derek is dressed in this inflatable Sumo suit. Brilliant!! It was awesome! We were early and there were only a few people there, including someone who said she saw me in the liquor store! Small world eh? LOL
So Derek and Leanne did Jello shots for everyone - in 30cc syringes!!! Ingenious!! Had a couple of those and the party was on.
Almost everyone who came dressed up so it was a great success. The only sticklers were Dave and Amy, some other couple I don't know, a couple of Leanne's friends from work...otherwise the rest of us were in costume.
Halfway through the night the Guitar Hero World Tour was fired up. I was rockin out!! Played some drums, played some guitar and even got to sing a few songs. Good fun was had by all!
Sunday we went for brunch with Michelle's Mom, then the girls wanted to shop for a bit...after I managed to finally make it home we watched the hockey game. The Oil won the game to make it 2 in a row. Chilled out for the rest of the day to finish off the weekend.
