Annual Hoodie Halloween 2009

We had our Halloween party at one of our dear Hoodies house.

(what is a Hoodie? For those who don't know it is a best friend who lives in your neighborhood)

We have been doing this for 5 years now and every year we wonder how can we top the last cause it is soooo much fun!

This year's theme was come dressed as your favorite Saturday Night Live character or someone who performed on the show. There were almost too many funny characters to pick from.

BUT, Casey and I found ours...........

Live from Hewitt Texas............. It's Saturday NIGHT LIVE .........................

Casey was Mike Meyers dressed up as Deiter from the Sprockets episode

He even had the Sprockets dance down

Can you guess who I am?

You got it....Amy Winehouse

That wig was heavy!

Do I look like her?

It was such a FUN night!

We had Brad and Angelina, Lady GaGa, Church Lady, Mary Katherine Gallagher (2), James Brown, and a surgeon.

Trick or Treat with the 3L's

2009 Halloween was a hit at the Reed house!

We had some special guest that evening. Miss America 2009 trick or treating with us, then Landry Balboa made his way around the hood with his boxing moves, and then none other than THE GREAT PUMPKIN from Charlie Brown showed up. What a night! Miss America 2009

3L's ready for some candy

The 3L's couldn't wait to catch up with their neighborhood friends to trick or treat with them.

Lauren, Abby, Jillian, and Dylan

Little Hoodie gang!

I couldn't help but tear up as I curled her hair and help her put on makeup that night. That day is around the corner when she will be wanting to do this everyday.

(slow down baby girl...this mama is going to miss her little girl)

Look at how tall she is?

Casey wasn't sure about his little beauty queen all dressed up..... I think Landry and Luke had just as much fun passing out candy

Lauren and her best friend, Hallie

What a fun night.......costumes, candy, and snuggling up with your loved one.

Fall Festival~Show and Tell

And in this corner...weighing 62 pounds....Landry Balboa!

My little boxer had his fall party Friday.

It was full of fun activities. It started off with show and tell. Landry wanted to take a couple of his English Bulldog puppies. The kids thought this was so neat.

Mrs. Scott even got dressed up for the Fall party.
I had so much fun watching my little man enjoy his day!

It warms my heart to see him smile and giggle with his buds.

I also love the fact that he prays every time before he eats.

He has made sure we do the same at home. Good job Landry.

I never knew he was so good at decorating cupcakes.....then I figured it out that he was just trying to pile as many candies as he could on it. Smart kid!

Funny scarecrow!

Sweet Mrs. Scott and my little boxer.

Guess who WON....

the pumpkin contest at school?? Who-hoo, Bertie Bernstein bat the best bubble blower on the block who can blow bubbles with braces on.....that is who!!

Congrats sweet Lukey!

A SWEET Pumpkin belly.....

full of a baby boy to love!

Today I got to paint my beautiful friend's tummy for Halloween. It was a REAL treat for me to do this. I got to paint Mindy's tummy last time when she was pregnant with my son's future bride in there. (ha!) We painted an Easter Egg for baby Haddie and today we painted a pumpkin for baby Anakin Cosmo Pierce (not really his name! This is what her kids are calling him. Funny!)

I must say I got chills when I was painting thinking about this sweet baby on the way. He is already loved by so many and not even here yet!

The kids thought is was soooo funny!
Awww....and there she is.......my son's future bride! (jk, Troy!)

Mindy, I hope you know that there are MORE holidays to come so get ready. I have my paint brush ready:) Thanks for the fun times today!

~Loves ya dearly~RoRo

Sweets for my Sweet!

You gotta love the local donut shop for getting into the Halloween spirit with their ghost donuts. Sure made this tired little boy on the way to school HAPPY!

Annual Pumpkin Contest at School

That time of year! It was time to decorate a pumpkin for the annual Spring Valley pumpkin contest. Hard to believe I have been doing this for 6 years now. This years theme was a bit different. You had to decorate a pumpkin with your favorite letter of the alphabet using alliteration. What is that? It is when you arrange words into a complete sentence and tell a story.

Luke chose the letter B...... and this is what we came up with.

"Bertie Bernstein the bat was the best bubble blower on the block. He could even blow bubbles with braces"

Look close and you can see his braces.

This is always a FUN project to do with the kids. Good luck Luke! Know that we think

"Bertie is the Best"
