He’s Clearly Comfortable With His Masculinity

You know your husband is comfortable with his masculinity when he can wear leggings for Halloween…And wear those tights into the liquor store to buy a few bags of ice… And show up to a Halloween party with all of his buddies wearing tights.

For the first time in years, I dressed up for Halloween and went to a very fun Halloween Birthday Bash for my friend Olive Oil (Tonya).  There were some crazy good costumes.  Caleb and his sister Margaret and I were Peter Pan, Capt. Hook and Wendy.

I just couldn’t get the guts to dress as Tink on this 40 degree night!

There was a Mexican and his Piñata.

Colonel Sanders and his Bucket of Chicken.

A Samurai and his Geisha.

Some eighties nerds.

Olive Oil and Popeye.

A Scarecrow.

And Pippy Longstockings.

I love a party wear I can wear a mumu and no make-up- I am hardcore like that! 

Check out this unbelievable piñata costume that my friend Kat made.  She is incredibly talented and you can see her artwork on her facebook page.

We played a game where you had to use a straw and suck a pumpkin eraser to the end and then relay race.

And no east Texas Halloween Party is complete without a drive through the pasture in a monster school bus.

Seriously?  How hick is this?  I never imagined, spoiled little Vail girl that I was, that I would be off-roading in a short bus.

But it was really fun- notice the terrified looks on every face.

On a not-so-hick note- we celebrated my incredibly cute nephew’s birthday this weekend.

Zane Charlie Brown turned one this weekend, and a costume party was in order.

At least for the kids.  I think the grown-ups got their share of dressing up in on Friday.

Not that I would have minded wearing my nightgown again, but I am pretty sure Caleb wouldn’t put the tights back on!

Jon is a great cook and made Italian Beef Sandwiches and this delicious Buffalo Wing Dip, that perchance I ate a little too much of.And Oma made another one of her fabulous birthday cards.  Don’t you just love them?

Leigh made this precious Snoopy Cake and big brother Wyatt decorated Zane’s individual cake… which he managed to devour entirely.

Group photo- miracle to have 6 children sitting and looking at the camera!Avery was a “stray cat” & Audrey was “Sho Co-Cake” (Strawberry Shortcake).

McClaine was batman!

Wyatt was a Centurion Knight.And Reecey was Tinkerbell (with quick access to jammies).

It was a great weekend, packed with fun.  Even Gramps had a good time, and I am pretty sure he ate too much Buffalo Wing Dip as well!
