Halloween Spooktacular

We did Halloween right this year! Two parties and two sets of costumes = double the fun! My favorite thing is to do the holidays up as big as I can and leave my mark on my boys memories. I want them to remember how much fun we had, laughing at each other and looking silly, eating lots of candy, and getting to stay up late. More than anything, I want them to remember all the special things we did as a family. Happy Halloween to all!

We got ready for the big day by carving our jack-o-lantern.



And the boys did the ooey-gooey part for me, which was the best!



We kicked off our crazy costumes with Rebecca's "Pop Stars and Rock Stars" Halloween bash...



I love that she inspires her group to go all out. In fact, Rebecca made a lot of these costumes herself! She and Will were Britney and Justin, rocking the denim on denim look...



We knew we had to bring our A game to this party, so we decided on Gwen Stefani for me. I pulled out my real deal marching band uniform from 18 years ago and added some pop star attitude.

Hollaback Girl



The real Gwen Stefani





For Firoze, he HAD to be Psy of the "Gangham Style" video. If you haven't seen the video, click on over to youtube and watch this... Gangham Style I mean, he's the life of the party with the crazy dance moves and style too!



The real Psy





There were some other amazing costumes and these were two of my favorites...

Cindy as Bjork



Brian as DJ Deadmau5 (I mean, come on... love the ears!)



Psy with John Mayer and Tim McGraw



Me with Adele and Britney



Rocking the platinum locks and glossy red lips...



We went to eat at Highland Tap with a gothic stone room, huge fireplace and iron chandeliers. It was perfect for our Halloween dinner!



Next up was the trick-or-treating with our friends. Love getting together and laughing all night, watching our cute kids, eating great food and best of all... dressing up in crazy costumes!

Our theme this year was "A Football Game."

We had our football player, our lead quarterback!



A great catch!





He even got to play a quick game with our cool neighbor, Justin.



And we had to have Clemson's mascot - the Tiger!







Could little tails on babies get any cuter?





Then we had the referee...





And the crazy fan...





I love this glamour shots of Firoze's fro, softly lit by the sun!





I like this tough guy face on Dev...





We met up with more of our crew, the OTHER team!



We had another crazy fan, a football coach, and our cute cheerleader!



We were a cool crew...









I loved seeing the guys pushing the strollers in their costumes!



Dean was an all star trick-or-treater this year. He definitely "got it!"













I think Abigail was taking notes and by the end, she got it too!



And then, we had an awkward moment. Let's call it "Baby Days of our Lives."

Dean: "Abigail, wanna hold hands with me?"



Abigail: "Ummm, I feel weird saying this, but I think I'm over you."



And we met up with more friends from "the box," Ebony and her daughter Tia.









The boys were so sweet together...



It really was a perfect night, with great friends and wondeful memories!
