Oregon Visit Part 1,587,654
Last Saturday was the craziest day of all!
While Brian and Joseph were at Verboort Festival, my brother’s girlfriend Ashley had a baby shower at my parents house. 
My mom hosted and we girls helped set up. There was a crisis involving a baby shower game that got sent off with my dad, but I saved the day and came up with a replacement.
I pretty much saved the whole shower.
Here are my two sisters and me!
Plus our Mom and Grandma.
Then, my sisters and I hurried out to my sister’s house to get set up for the family Halloween party / Joseph’s Birthday.
Carrie was stuck in the back with all of the balloons.
Christin and my niece Alana had set up the room so cute for Joseph!
I added some streamers and Rainbow Chip cupcakes, and we were set to go!
The Halloween party was a huge success!! We had pumpkin bingo, pumpkin ring toss, a pumpkin craft, bobbing for apples, pumpkin playdough, and the Auntie “Mummy Wrap.” 
That’s me.
They say that our teams tied, but I think that my team totally won. Carrie’s team lost! (I tend to be a bit competitive.)
The costumes were also primo.
My sister Christin’s family, who was the only group missing from the trick or treating shot.
Check out those High School Musical Cheerleaders!
Bumblebee + Ape = True Love.
My brother Daniel and Ashley didn’t actually dress up. 
Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
Brian was Michael Phelps
I was a farmer,
and Joseph was my chick.
Mom and Dad were (slightly creepy) ghosts.
I seem to remember that we weren’t allowed to dress up as ghosts, witches, or devils as kids. Hypocritical much? :)
Then, it was time for Joseph’s birthday party….

What about the old lady that helped you "save the day?" Afterall, I wrote down the numbers and what kind of candy bar it was. Hah! It was a lot of fun!
Okay, it was a little you too! :) At least 70-30....
Perhaps a tad bit hypocritical, that's true, but....The reason we were ghosts....$4.99 per sheet, a pair of scissors, a hat and neck tie, some lipstick for Grandma...voila, a cheap costume that the grandkids loved. They are still putting towels over their heads and saying "Look, Mom. We are Grandma and Grandpa Ghosties!"
What fun!!!! Such good family times!
