Hallowscream party

[persephone33]

I'm really, really bummed I'm going to be gone for Halloween. It's my favorite holiday (yes, I know I should say Jesus' birth, ressurrection or being thankful holidays, but you know me, I'm all about keeping it real over here). Dressing up and candy? What's NOT to love? Anyhow, I'm going to miss it because we're going on a vacation.

Without the kids.

*terrifically loud squee*

My mother will be here with the boys (you can certainly send out good thoughts to her, I'm sure she'd appreciate it) so the boys will get to DO Halloween; I bought pumpkins to carve and costumes, candy to hand out, the whole nine yards. But I won't actually be here to SEE all the fun. And we've always carved pumpkins together, the boys and I. So I'm a little sad about that.

Anyway, some friends of ours have an annual Halloween party with those bouncers and little rides for the kids and stuff, so I took them yesterday.



Do I ask them to pose? No, I do not.


But Apparently Indiana Jones and Luke Skywalker are not the smiley type.


They like posed action shots for some reason. I do not understand Aaron's new penchant for the peace sign, but good for him. Give peace a chance, I say.


If you look at Indiana's footwear, you'll notice a splash of... Hang on. Is that ORANGE?


I'm reminded of Nathan Lane's line in The Birdcage. "Well, one does want a hint of color."


And the family. Wait a minute! Who's that stray ladybug? Do I have a daughter that I forgot about?

Nope. Her name is Bailey, and her mom took the picture. :)


So I'm off to try to get the house & myself ready for my trip. I leave Friday. :D

Did I mention that it was without the kids?

SQUEE!

Cute pictures. My parents brought me up to never celebrate Halloween. Instead, I always went to the church's Fall Fest that night. I got roped into face painting and the like when going dressed up got old. Last year, I saw a mini-Draco Malfoy. He was so cute.

Of course, last year I also stole some rum and got spectacularly drunk. :\

Have fun on your trip!

I tried LIKE CRAZY to get them to be Draco and Harry, I thing that would be too, too funny, but they flatly refused. Hmph.

Rum on Halloween! Pirate!

Thanks!

I am a pirate, according to Elle. Of course, I've never really flung panties. I'm just all about the rum.

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

Elle would know. She is the standard by which all rum-drinking, pirate pantie-flinging girls are measured. :D

EFRAYIM had that SAME lady-bug costume for his very first halloween. *goes hunting for pictures*

ETA: I'll have to email my MIL for them. oh well.

Nolan looks like he is very comfy holding a little baby girl.

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

He is, but unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're me) that ship has sailed.

If I came up pregnant, I would have some 'splainin' to do!

I always say that Dr. Wong would get SUED! Like Big time. I wonder how much I could drain him. *ponders*

I think we actually had to sign a waiver saying that we wouldn't if something miraculous happened.

I really, really don't want that sort of miracle, though.

Is it a coincidence that they both play characters of movies that had some Harrison Ford in them?

At least, the socks are season-al-ly themed.

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

They've been playing Indiana Jones and Starwars Lego on the X box all summer. :D

And, yes. Yes, they are.

[shady121.livejournal.com]

That is the second cutest Indy Jones I've seen (Second only to Harrison Ford, of course) and the cutest Luke Skywalker.

Have fun on your trip. Where are you going?

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

We're going on a cruise! I'll post before we leave!

Give peace a chance, I say

[jandjsalmon.livejournal.com]

LOL! Cute ladybug too!

But yes - they are SUPER cute. At first I had to think about it - thought it was a Harrison Ford Homage - but then remembered that Han wasn't a jedi. *facepalm*

But yes - SUPER cute. They will look fabulous and YAY for a kid-free vaykay! WOOT!

[meimei42.livejournal.com]

They are so adorable!!!

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They do have their moments. :D

[heyurs.livejournal.com]

Yes you did! Without the chicklets! WOOT! :D

Have a great time, hon! *hugs*

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[heyurs.livejournal.com]

Ohmygoodness! If they aren't the CUTEST! X) They would win any contest, hands down. *beams*

[dragonsangel68.livejournal.com]

The boys are adorable, as usual :)

A vacation without the kids? *squee* I'm so excited for you!

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I can barely contain myself.

[seegrim.livejournal.com]

Oh my GOSH! I'm sorry, but they are SO cute they rock my world. And Ethan's facial expression in the top pic? Oh, what LOVE!

An, oh! Nolan and the ladybug? He'd look so adorable with a baby girl...

*runs away*

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

Nolan WOULD be a good father to a girl.

I, however, am enough girl for ANY household. Katie even encroaches on my territory, sometimes.

I MISS YOU ALREADY! *pout*

[seegrim.livejournal.com]

I miss you, too. *pouts*

[dieloreley.livejournal.com]

ARGH! So cute! The poses are priceless! Awwww... If they came to my house, I'd totally give them all the lollies I could find. If you want your children to have healthy teeth, do not send them anywhere near me.

Have fun! Keep away from those dolphins! (Ok, that was cruel. I couldn't resist.)

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

LOL. Low blow, Yvonne. :D

[sue-bridehead.livejournal.com]

Even so, I know you will enjoy your little kid-free break. :D

Aww, the boys are adorable, as always. They picked great characters! It's probably a good thing Aaron isn't Han Solo, or that would be too much Harrison Ford in one family. ;) Man, I love the orange socks!

Yeah, I kinda wondered who the extra kid was...

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

Don't think I didn't try to convince him to be Han.

Aaron said, "Han kisses people too much."

So how do you argue with that, I ask you?

[sue-bridehead.livejournal.com]

He kisses people too much? That's classic! Leia and Luke kissed a few times, too, or did you not want to remind of him that? I know, it's icky and gross, because they turn out to be siblings - twins, no less! :-P

[persephone33.livejournal.com]

I know. I remember in the 5th grade or thereabouts, when it all came out... the EEWWWWW that went on!

[13oct.livejournal.com]

I love, love these pits. The boys are just adorable.... and their posing is just too darn cute for words. *grins*

A vacation with out any children. Wow. You lucky, lucky woman. Have loads of fun and I want picts when you're back k.

*hugs*
