Classic green witch for me!
Of course Isaac was a the Fall Festival at the park in front of our house.....hanging out waiting for the costume contest. He gets so excited about the costume contest. ha ha
Maile loved feeling like a cute little 1950's teeny-bopper!!!
We went to the Festival at the park in front of our house, Steve took the kids trick-or-treating, we passed out candy.........crazy, fun night.

'Twas the night before Hallows Eve.......
Halloween cupcake decorating
My favorite place to go before and after Halloween in CVS. They always have THE BEST crazy candy during Halloween. It's so gross...but it's always fun.
I knew if I went to CVS....I would find everything I needed for decorating our cupcakes. I got the ideas of decorating cupcakes with body parts from Martha Stewart Cupcakes book.
CVS had these GREAT gummy candies called Monster Parts. It had teeth, eyeballs, severed feet, bloody noses, severed fingers and eyeballs.
CVS also had marshmallow Monster Heads which we used to decorate our cupcakes, too. We had soooooo much fun with the candy as you can see in the following pictures:
Spooky Gross (really delicous) Dinner
For dinner we had Skulls and Brains. The skulls were bread bowls baked from Kroger bread dough i made into balls and baked. Here are the Skulls:
Here is some Skulls and Brains served up! The brains were Creamy Chicken Chowder. It was sooooo delicious! Sister Christiansen from the League City Ward gave me the Creamy Chicken Chowder recipe.
We also had Oger toes (they were really breadsticks with almond slivers).
Pumpkin Carving
Maile and Madeline are ready to start carving pumpkins!!!!

Steve, Ismari, Isaac and Maile
All in a weeks work.....
Well we've had baking adventures, here are some pics...
Mmmmmm yummy Whoopie Pies!
What a nice big brother.....sharing cookie dough by the spoonful with his little sister!
Yes Maile! Have a can of V8 before you eat a pound of raw chocolate dough!
Well it has been a very, very busy week for our ENTIRE family.
I have been learning Corel Draw and helping Steve put together artwork for some of the t-shirts we have been working on.
Here are some t-shirts Steve and I worked on this week. Thought you might like to see some of Steve's artwork:
--------------------
Travis Elementary Fall Carnival 2009
Our art teacher at the elementary school worked on this HUGE mural with the kids of the Carnival last year. It is beautiful! The school wanted to put the mural on a t-shirt to sell at the school Carnival this year to raise money. So they asked us to do it. It was a new process for us because it was tricky being able to convert a mural to artwork that would print out on a t-shirt. But Steve figured it out and the t-shirts turned out AMAZING!
The bottom of the t-shirt:
Close up of the details from the mural:
The front the t-shirt. This picture does not give the shirt justice, but in really life it looks realistic and really cool:
I got to work on the back of the shirt. The sponsors logos. I got them ready to go in Corel Draw and placed them all I thought how they should go. What do you think? Yeah! My first time in helping with a t-shirt!!!! This was so fun for me! Even though it was just basic boring stuff for a real artist like Steve! ha ha
-------------------------------
Rock the Cradle for Johnny Romano Memorial Contest
Here is the t-shirt Steve made for the event. I helped do the logos on the back again. Thank you very much!
And I work with Johnny's mom, Julie Romano on the t-shirts and ordering and selling. She and her family are sooooooooo sweet! And so amazing and so strong even after loosing their son to leukemia just one year ago (he was 10 years old). It was a great day today to be there with them and join them in their fight to find a cure to childhood leukemia. Our whole family got to help. Maile and Isaac loved it. Isaac and Maile sold t-shirts and stickers with their kids and the other kids that came to volunteer.
Here is the poster for the event that a guy named Wiley Roberts designed...really cool!:
They raised $20,000 dollars today at this event!!!!
------------------------------------------------
Ten Over
And one more note! Our friends told us about this today....which was a fun way to end a day!!!

JAM SESSION
Last night for FHE we used our newly acquired 2nd hand karaoke machine, so of course, family night evolved into a jam session. I think Rex must have picked up some of Cooper's moves at the reunion.
