{Halloween Decoration Pictures!}

{We ended up putting a piece of black fabric over the light on the left of the garage so that there was light but it was darker. We had to have the lights on since all of Mad Mike's electronics were plugged into the one by the front door!}{Mike had all his "potions" and stuff on this shelf with black lights on them so they glowed @ night. I had mad scientist sounds on a loop on the computer plugged into Meghann's speakers right behind the bookcase. So it sounded like the potions were bubbling, etc.}{Mike made this sign to show the kids how he takes Trick-or-Treaters, adds some of his potions, takes out their brains, and they become evil pumpkins for his evil pumpkin patch like in the pictures below!}{Ahhh....Mad Mike! He did a great job! Not too scary, but made it fun! He actually had quite a few kids that "volunteered" to let him turn them into evil pumpkins! I loved the candy cauldron! It made me happy!}

Mike had such a wonderful time decorating the house for Halloween this year! It was a lot of fun to see him so excited about it! He made paper mache evil pumpkins, my cool spider and some skulls. We had a lot of fun this year...can't wait to see next year!

{Los Al High School Football}

The Hernandezs' and Walkers dropped the teen girls off @ the Los Al vs Edison game @ Huntington Beach High's new stadium last night and then went off to enjoy some LOVELY Mexican food @ El Ranchito (one of our favorite downtown HB restaurants!). Since Mike and I had gone to Buffalo Wild Wings with Curt for lunch, we ate a very light supper...so it was PERFECT! We then went back to catch the last half of the game. It was 13 (Edison) to 10 (Los Al) @ the half. Los Al proceeded to make some DUMB mistakes and poor plays and lost 27 to 10! YIKES! Edison is #8 in the COUNTRY though, so we didn't feel TOO badly. The new stadium is GORGEOUS! Nice place to spend a Friday night!

Tonight we look forward to having friends over for trick-or-treating and can't wait to see all the neighborhood kids in their costumes! We're hoping against hope that our neighbor, Rudy, feels better. He came down ill yesterday and Val is freaking out 'cause she has NO idea how he sets up all his stuff! So Mike is going to go over and help out! That's what neighbors do! But it would be better if Rudy felt better...he worked SOOOOO hard this year on lots of new stuff! Happy Halloween to all!

{Happy Pre-Halloween!}

Meghann is dressed up @ the "Queen of Hearts" from Alice in Wonderland this year for Halloween. Today they get to dress up @ school...so this is our costume debut! I forgot to take a picture of the back of her hair, it was VERY cute! Maybe it'll still look good when she comes home! (Fingers crossed!)
Mike has been working VERY hard on all his Halloween decorations! Here are some updated pictures, hopefully tonight I can get some good ones with my tri-pod @ night with the lights on, etc. He's been working on a lot of them by himself and working with our neighbor, Rudy, as well. They have been having a lot of fun with this holiday!
Well...that's all for now! There will be more pictures to come! Happy Pre-Halloweenie!

{Neighbor Rudy's AWESOME Halloween Decorations!}

Well...here are a few pictures of our neighbor, Rudy's, Halloween decorations. He's not done yet...there is still a LOT of neat stuff in the works. But I wanted to get a few photos up before we head off for the weekend to go camping with the Hernandez crew. Mike can't wait 'til next year when he can really go all out...he can work on stuff all year 'round to "Keep up with the Romeros"!!

{♥Twisted Disney Princess Art ♥}

Something a little SPOOKY for Halloween! Someone posted this on Facebook and I think the artwork is just TOO cool not to share with everyone! This guy is an amazing artist...you have to look for the small details to really understand his genius! The 3 Walkers give this guy a THUMBS UP!
