Halloween Festivities

I think this is the first year that Travis and I actually dressed up for Halloween together. Since I'm pregnant we had a lot of couples to choose from. We contemplated dressing up as Britney Spears and K-Fed, Heidi Klum and Seal, and the couple from Juno. I didn't want to have to buy anything so that made our decision harder. In the end we decided last minute to dress up as Jim and Pam from The Office. We already had the appropriate clothes! Travis even made the name tags-it says Dunder Mifflin Paper Company along the bottom.


We were invited to attend a Halloween party this year. Some people that attended were Jon and Kate plus 8, a knocked up cheerleader and her quarterback boyfriend, a bun in the oven and a baker, a pea in the pod and a farmer, Glenda, the good witch, and the tin man, a pimp and his 'ho' and Amelia Earhart and Moses/Terrorist. If you can't tell there were a lot of pregnant ladies attending.

We split up into groups and competed in activities. Our first activity was a mummy wrapping contest. I don't have a picture of our mummy, but we won! We wrapped Amelia and she was covered perfectly from head to toe!

Our next activity was a relay race. The first person in the group had to run to a street sign and back. The second in line had to eat 6 Saltine crackers then try and blow a bubble of bubble gum. Once a bubble was properly blown the last person had to carry an egg in a spoon to another street sign and back without breaking it. Our team won again!!
Next, a member of our team had to use their mouth to dig through a pan of spaghetti and find 5 gummy worms. We came in second place, but we think there was some foul play involved because we were sure that we won that too.To end the competition we had to answer some trivia questions about Halloween. Oh ya, and we won that too! Our group was awesome! We had a fun night and thanks to Lindsey and Ed for such a fun party and for all their hard work putting everything together.

Halloween day was pretty low key for us. I gave Travis a hair cut, we watched football, and went for a walk. I made Chili again and Frozen Peanut Butter Pie for our Halloween feast. I made the pie because I like the spider web design. I wish I had a fake spider to put on the pie too, but no luck.

We ended the night watching a scary movie and waiting for Trick-or-Treaters. Unfortunately, we had no-none, zero, zilch Trick-or-Treaters. So we still have all our candy sitting on our counter that will most likely be consumed by us.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

Great idea on the costumes! Josh had to stay late cleaning up so we were bummed to miss the festivities, sounds so fun! I'm sure if I'd have been there, I'd have been on your team too, because I ONLY win.

I love the pie you made, you're so festive!
