MorE WTtcHy GOoDneSs...

When I tell you that I come from a family full of witches... you have NO idea!

Thursday night we all donned our witchiest ware...

and headed to a Witches Night Out sale at a St. George boutique.

Krumpets Home Decor was the place...

and witches was what we found. The store had a costume contest and had hired the next door neighbor photography studio to take pics of all the contestants.

We put a spell on the photographer to take a few group shots as well.

Top row: Viv, Me, Carmen Snow, Neva Demille
bottom row: Jody, Meg, Brandy
Carmen is my sister Jody's mother in law and Neva is her friend.
We had room for all!
We had such a great time... shopping and shopping and cackling and cackling...
Here are our individual shots!

Me... I had the same old costume as last week.

Meg- She decided at the last minute to join in the witchy tradition so we threw together a Halloween shirt and a mini-skirt. She had a darling hat and Halloween ribbon helped out as well... INSTANT COSTUME!

Here is the MOTHER of all WITCHES... Viv!

She is the Queen of Halloween!

Brandy was the costume winner in the "Bad Witch" category.

She won a $50.00 gift certificate.

She looked awesome in a little black skirt and a red and black corset...

I think she really won for "Naughty Witch"... there was nothing evil about her...

Just a little nasty!

Jody and her Hocus Pocus witches costume...

She was the true costumer that night... She found most everyone's costumes for them.

She is also the Queen of Halloween costumes...

She has been Wonder Woman, A flapper, a Witch, etc. etc..

The amazing thing about her is that she makes fabulous coordinating costumes for her entire family... all theme related and matchy.

She is amazing!

This is Carmen Snow, Jody's mother in law.

She is one of the most glamorous women I know.. even as a witch...

She was the "Most Glamorous Witch" winner.

After shopping around at Krumpets... we took our witchfest on the road...

We ended up at Olive Garden for little bite to eat.

People were amazed at our costumes and all sorts of people

(from Senior Games athletes from Brazil to little kids)

wanted to have a picture taken with us.

I now know what it feels like to be Cinderella at Disneyland... JUST KIDDING!

It was such a fun night...

I am so lucky to have such an amazing mother and sisters...

I have never cackled so much!

The Tell-Tale Signs...

Although it is still a thousand degrees outside...

I can tell that the summer is winding down.

I am a little more cranky with the 3 meals a day being served &

the constant quest for fun and friends.

I have been school shopping... LOVE IT!

Getting a shopping fix AND serving a purpose equals win in my book!

The school clothes and shoes are sitting in the guest bedroom.

At our house... no new school clothes until SCHOOL STARTS!

The boys think it is a dumb policy and Meg just looks at them each day in anticipation.

I am getting ready to document the first day of school and MAYBE do a scrap book page to go next to the VERY last scrap book page I did.. ( Last year's first day of school)

The moms of my neighborhood are all making plans to get together "when life returns to normal and the kids go back to school"... It cracks me up that we were all soooo ready for school to be out and now we are all clamoring for structure.

Caylor was so happy on Sunday... There was an NFL game on TV. He said he can finally be happy again. ( In JEST, of course... I think)

Mitch has started playing HIGH SCHOOL football... YIKES am I that old?

Two-a-day practices have started this week.

He is begging for ICY-HOT.

We get to watch his first game next Wednesday...

I CAN'T WAIT!

Jackson is getting ready to take the Jr. High by storm...

He has big plans I tell you, BIG plans!

I will never have two kids in the same school again...

Well until they are all in Harvard together, at least!

But... This leads me to the very best thing...

I have noticed the stores are starting to carry their Halloween wares!

Oh... My beating heart be still.

I love fall!

I am all about decorating and celebrating the very best season of the year!

FALL!

I got into my Halloween box last week to borrow Margie a few things for her Halloween line in her CHA booth. I got feeling a little giddy and then when I saw a new witch's boot at Tai Pan I felt a LOT giddy!

I just love this time of year...

I can't wait to get out all my Fall/ Halloween decor and plan a few

spooky... witchy... harvesty gatherings!

I just wonder how my walnut stained wood front door is going to look painted orange?

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

After 3 Halloween parties, 1 witches brew, 2 costumes and 17 Halloween glitter cups...
I am done with Halloween.
So.. for one last time this year....
BWA-HAHAHA!

Have a Fabulous All Hallows Eve...

Fabulous Fall Friday...Only WITCHES dressed like witches are allowed to enter!

Fabulous Fall Friday...Witches Brew! Last night Tonia and I held our first annual witches brew! I got to the party and realized my camera was missing the memory card so... I don't have a lot of photos, but I will get copies this weekend. This post was to show the invitation and a photo of Tonia, Marla, Crystal ( The only witch that flew in on her broom all the way from Idaho) and I. We were sassy, funky, and fabulous witches. We had so much fun.

This was the invitation... we invited about 50 of our favorite witches and most all of them came.

Crystal, Me, Tonia, & Marla..Which Witch is Which?

I will have all the tricks and treats of the party.. along with photos on Monday! You won't believe the costumes and treats that everyone brewed up. AMAZING!
Have a GREAT weekend!
