Bad News...  
This year's front-yard party is basically off. Poor Mari and her family ALL have the flu (except for the baby, thank goodness)! We'll make up for it within the next week or so, when everyone's feeling better, but it won't be the same.

But make no mistake: WE WILL STILL CONTINUE TO HOLD OUR YEARLY HALLOWEEN PARTY TOGETHER!!!

It just really sucks that this year we won't get one. *moo*

We're still handing out candy in our front yard, though...

Happy October 2007!!!  
Hey, folks - I'm baaack!! Missed me, did you? *lol*

Today, my hubby and I picked up supplies for this year's costumes. I'm going as a porcelain doll and he's going to be... well, I guess he's either a murder victim or a poorly dressed vampire. You'll see what I mean when we post party pics...

Well, that's about it for now. Check back soon!

Reeely Late Party Photos  
Sorry they're so late, but I've finally uploaded this year's party photos:



Our Jack-O-Lantern (thanks, Ryan! ^_~)




A collaborative brownie graveyard - I made the brownies and Mari made the graveyard.




Spooky Gingerbread House




Our moth guest (He really dug Mari's punch!)




After the party, my sister and brother-in-law showed up with my darling little niece in tow. Isn't she an ADORABLE ladybug??? XD


Again, sorry the pics are late... but I did share nearly twice as many as last year!

Spooky Family Fun on TV Soon!  
ABC Family's 13 Nights of Halloween launches this year on Thursday, October 19th. A good, scary time is to be had by all (minus all the blood-and-guts stuff). While this promises to be family-safe programming, this does not mean you won't get a good creep out of it. This year's lineup includes all-new episodes of Scariest Places on Earth - one of our yearly favorites! Ryan and I look forward to it each October, and new episodes will certainly entertain us well. Also showing is the premiere of a new ABC Family Original Movie, The Initiation of Sarah (Oct. 22nd). Visit the site here and see the schedule for yourself:

AMC Monsterfest 2006  
Well, looks like AMC finally got their heads out of their... well, you know. Monsterfest has returned yet again, and this year they have a smashing lineup of both old and new classics. Yes, the Universal Monsters are back! They've even seen fit to throw in a little Godzilla for good measure. I guess enough people finally complained, because (in my opinion), it's been at least a few years since the last good Monsterfest.

So be on the lookout for Dracula, Frankenstein and The Wolf Man, along with Michael Myers, Freddy and Chucky. This year's Monsterfest is actually going to be fun - FINALLY!

This year marks Monsterfest's 10th anniversary. Check out the site here:

"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" 40th Anniversary  
The beloved Peanuts classic holiday special is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. I don't know about you, but it's one of my two favorite Halloween specials EVER (the other being the Garfield special)! You can read more about it at The Official Peanuts Website.

Halloween Plans For 2006  
This year's itinerary is still being worked out, but I've got the basics down:

Monday, October 30th - Halloween Party @ Mari's
(This year's theme is pirates - *YAARR*!!)

Tuesday, October 31st - Traditional Halloween @ Home
(We're planning on hosting a sort of trick-or-treat table out in the front yard if we can make it work.)

Thursday, November 2nd - Day of the Dead
(With the usual lunch fare and trip to the cemetery. RIP to all our loved ones, especially my maternal grandfather!)

-- EDIT --

The Halloween party plans have changed a bit. Now everything will be held in my front yard on the 31st and we will be dressing as zombie hippies. Yes, you heard right... *insert uncontrollable laughter and fun-poking here*

Party Photos/All Saints Day  
Here are a few photos from this year's halloween party:



Our ghastly goodies




We strung these cute jack-o-lantern lights on Mari's baking rack... =B




All the lovely ladies in attendance this year (minus their dates)


Today we held our second annual Day of the Dead celebration. It was nothing spectacular, and it was a day earlier this year, but we enjoyed ourselves as usual. We started off by visiting a few family graves (my grandfather's in particular), then returned home for some KFC and that Mexican dead-bread. All in all, it was pretty nice - and we'll do it again next year!
