All Hallows Eve, Homecoming, Etc.

So this past weekend was quite eventful. Friday night was Halloween. Saturday was Western Kentucky Universities Homecoming and Sunday was a visit with my family in Springfield, TN and a birthday dinner for Mariah Step-Grandmother Sunday night. And we got a little work done on the house too.

First off lets talk about Halloween. Mariah and I had been invited to a costume party at a friend of ours house Friday night. Since WKU's Homecoming was the next day I knew that a lot of the poeple that I went to college with would be in attendence so we were pretty excited about it, but we had to find a costume. One night Mariah and I were talking about what we could be and it hit me.....I said "Let's be Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and all six of their kids!" Needless to say Mariah thought I was brilient and so that's what we went as. Mariah found a great wig and a dragon tattoo at the local Halloween costume tent and she also ordered this paper off the internet that you can print whatever you'd like on and it peels off and has an adhesive that sticks to your skin so it looks like a real tattoo. Genious! My outfit was pretty easy I just bought a hat like I've seen Brad wear, got some sunglasses and threw on a white sports coat. Oh yeah and I went to Wal-Mart and bought a baby carrier that goes on like a backwards back pack. See pictures below. We had a great time and won a trophy for "Best Costume!"

This next picture is of all the award winners that night. On the left is the winner for "Funniest Costume," Daisy and Donald Duck. On the right is the winner for "Scariest Costume," Gomez & Morticia Addams. And in the center is us Brad and Angelina.

The next day, Saturday, I went and worked on the house that morning and then we went tailgating and met up with a bunch of our college friends. That night we went to a bar where Mariah's cousin was playing and then called it an early night.

Great, great, fun weekend!!!

An update on the house:
We've got a little more tile to lay in the hallway, then we've got to finish some of the trim painting, put a little Bead Board in the kitchen and stain the floors before we move in. There are a few little projects that we're probably not going to get to before we move in, but we're so ready to be in the house that we'll just have to manage.
