Halloween Party was a Thriller!






On Friday, Oct. 24 we went to our ward Halloween party. We were supposed to bring a carved pumpkin for a contest. I was running out of time and was looking online for ideas and I saw the hamburger idea. I thought it would just be easy and something I could just put on the table for the contest. I wasn't expecting anything to come of it but it actually won! I couldn't believe it. I think I made 3 cuts in the pumpkin, stuffed it with lettuce, a slice of wheat bread, and made cheese and tomatoes out of Play-doh. We got an awesome loaf of pumpkin bread...so good.

We didn't win the costume contest but that was expected. Maia did look so cute though. We will take pictures on Halloween night so you can see what she was.

And last but not least, Joe and I talked about how many times we would hear "Monster Mash" at the party. Suprisingly, we didn't hear it once! But we did hear "Thriller" and Joe couldn't help but dance. I love that about Joe. He is just a party. When he finished, people started clapping and wanting more. It was great. I didn't think anyone was watching but I guess it's really hard NOT to see a 6'7" white guy with an afro dancing to a Michael Jackson song in the middle of the party.

I love the hamburger! Ididn't even realize it was a pumpkin! That is hilarious that Joe has the wig too. Dave wanted to go as a Bball player, but couldn't find his jerseys! These two boys need to get together when you come to town!
