Halloween 08 - 4th Annual Open Mic Fright Night

Halloween 08 will go down in the books as having one of the best and most memoriable Open Mic Fright Nights. We have 3 special guests make appearences for our live music portion of the evening and as a tribute to this being the final, we took out all 7 Plastic bins of Halloween decorations and decided to use them all. We had that 7 hour live Ghost Hunters downstairs, tons of yummy goodies thanks to our Chef this year ( Amy - AKA Ugly Betty). It became a little sad when I realized that I am going to have to pass the torch onto another one of our friends to host the next several years of Halloween BlowOuts! now for pictures.

Our special guests for the Open Mic night :

Urchin - My brother-in- laws band. That is Jeff on congo's and my brother on bass.

Taylor Davis

Syd - via webcast - Live from LA

Close enough.. I guess.

I really can't wait to go to a real pumpkin patch in my favorite fall atmosphere. But for the next few years this will do.

I am such a proud Aunt. This was both Rayleigh's and Abby's first time to a pumpkin patch and they had so much fun!

What a great night! Can't wait for next year.

An eight year tradition

Every year for the past 8 years we have gone here:

to celebrate John Lennon's birthday. Today he would have been 68.

It is always EXTREMLY busy and crowded

Each year they give us a new glass with british beer of their choice in it.

Each year Jeff drinks all the beer (unless I am near a potted plant that I can pour it into) so we can get one for us and one for my dad (they have a 1 glass per person rule).

We are going to miss this tradition when we move to the East Coast.

One last piece of trivia for you. I have told people that you can always spot my Jeep from anywhere. See, when I first ordered my company car online, I chose a blue Jeep. I didn't even realize they made a NEON blue. Can you spot my car?

A little obsessed??

Jeff and I went into public dressed in the following Sunday

In addition to this, I also had my Boston bag and Jeff's Boston Red Sox pen.

We didn't realize it until our waiter complemented Jeff on his hat and then looked at our shirts and asked if we were from Boston. He continued to tell us how he was from Boston and showed us his Red Sox belt buckle (a little strange). Then while at the mall we were quizzed by a store clerk on how cool Salem actually was.

We probably do this more than we realize since we have a total of 6 Massachusetts t-shirts. SERIOUSLY!!!

Just Bloggin

Thanks to my friend, Shell ,who pointed out that I have not blogged in over a month. There has been so much going on (which is the best time to blog) but every time I realized I needed to blog I also realize I didn't have any pictures and that just makes most of the blogs boring. For example, we had a garage sale last weekend it was crazy busy and I got rid of so much stuff but without before and after pictures, it just doesn’t matter to anyone but us.

So here are some pictures from the last month.

We call this Jeff’s tour beard. It only took him a little less than 2 weeks to grow this.

This is a picture of the way my bed looked for 12 days. SERIOUSLY!!!

This is a picture of how my sister tried to burn down my porch – smoking is a NASTY habit and can burn down houses – or at least melt planters.

This is a picture of Paloma when she tried to chew off her foot. She actually kept that mock cast on her foot for 2 days and didn’t even bother.
This is a picture of my dad’s truck when he rolled it. (side note- I have seen several accidents in dodge pickup and all of them have walked away with barely cuts or scraps – DODGE PROUD!)
This is also a picture of princess Abby who played my roommate for 12 days

This is a picture of her after she grew hair.
And this is a picture of Logan being a Rockstar
And Luke playing with socks on his hands… kinda gross but creative.

One busy month down.. SEVERAL to go!

Our move date is still set for the beginning of Nov. I am so ready for this plan to be put into full blown action.
