Zombie Costume Party

 The night before Max's birthday Jarrett was at work late and I was up until 1am getting ready for the next day.  Thank goodness I had a texting partner that night.  Thanks Rachel :)

Max was up at the bright and early hour of 6:30am the next day.

Max loves plain old Hershey candy bars best.  So we bought him a bunch.

Gir from INVADER ZIM

Max loves Gir so much that he wore him to take Lilly to school that day.  With his vampire costume of course.

This game of course had to be exchanged because everything I touch is cursed.

It is really fun though.

I love his cute little face here.

All the loot

It started raining and being nasty around 4pm.  It let up about an hour before the party but was still windy and cold.  We picked all our pumpkins and Max set them around the back yard.

Close up on the Zombie fingers made from fondant with food coloring gel painted on with a paint brush.

Brain made from a cupcake and fondant painted in the same manner as the fingers

Appetizing fingers, frogs, brains, teeth and skulls.

Max will only allow us to get Halloween books from the Library.

In almost every Halloween book that has a Halloween party, they bob for apples. 

His party would not be complete without bobbing for apples.

Cake time.  We had to put up lots of wind blocks.

Some unflattering pictures of everyone freezing while eating cake and ice cream.

Here is Jennifer humpback.

 Max's party was also a...... 

 Costume Party

Thanks everyone for dressing up :)

With  a Zombie pinata of course.  (post tomorrow about how I made it)  Who doesn't love smashing a Zombie??

Lilly broke off the head, but the candy was in the torso so we had to tie the torso up and the kids whacked the torso till finally Max broke it open.

There was no light left by the time he opened his presents so not any pictures.
He got lots of Halloween stuff and a monster truck crush cars game.

Max said he lots of fun.  Thanks everyone for helping to make his birthday fun and special.

Jarrett's Birthday

Jarrett got out his old skateboard and skated around and I took photos.  Skateboarding was a pretty big part of his life at one time.    When we were first dating we would go skateboard around at night, in empty parking lots.  I had started getting into skateboarding about a year before I met Jarrett, so I'm pretty sure I impressed with my skating abilities.  Ha ha!  Not really, I could skate around and get up and off curbs but that's about it.  Jarrett will try and tell you he was never any good, but he's just being modest.  He was REALLY good.

I love to see him skate and wish he would do it more often.  Hint , hint.

Lilly and Max rode around on their bikes.

Jarrett invited some friends over and also some family and we had pies.  I made strawberry, peach, blackberry and chocolate.

Sadly I am horrible at taking pictures when we have family and friends over so all the pictures are ones Jarrett took.  We had 15  people over but never did get a shot of everyone.

Ha ha!  This really isn't a good picture.
