Big Night On The Town

Thursday night, we participated in our first Halloween parade with Gabby's dance class. The parade is a huge deal for the locals and causes complete chaos throughout the town.

Chairs, blankets, tape, and rope, lined the parade route reserving front row spots. Detour signs were placed. Businesses closed early. It was all the chatter amongst everyone. If I didn't live here, I would have thought President Obama was coming to town. It really is crazy!

The evening started at 4:00 and ended at 10:00. Gabby's dance class dressed up as Zombies and decorated a float/trailer to look like a creepy grave yard. By 7:00, though, our little Zombie's were very cold and tired and by time we started proceeding, they were too tired to dance and huddled closed together in the graveyard trying their hardest to stay warm. Pre-parade sights, sounds, and activities kept the rest of us warm. Here are a few pictures of our big night on the town.

Looks like G.J. enjoyed herself.

The Cute Wicked Witch

Over the weekend, Gabby went to her first Halloween festivity for the month and she was very excited to dress up in her scary, wicked costume. She didn't want anything to do with being a princess, looking pretty, or dressing as her favorite Disney character/singer, Selena Gomez, she was all about being the scariest, ugliest witch I could make her into.

We applied green witch makeup and added some warts, painted her hair green and whalah...you have a scary (cute) wicked witch. After the party, Gabby told me that the Mom having the party was a clicker with her camera and kept clicking away at her...I can see why.

This is Holly's scary face. Looks more cute then scary.

Wordless Wednesday

Is it a stick or a bug?

I love watching these amazing creatures. They're mysterious but intriguing. Calm and unique. I bet their babies are adorable.
