GO Seahawks!! 43 - 8 Woo Hoo!

We had a SUPERBOWL Party at our house.  Attendees:  Schmalles, Crossleys, Masons, Prices, Cheryl Steel, Keppi and Grandma Wood came over.  We had 11 kids and 13 adults.  It was so fun!  
Aunt Kim and Uncle Kimbal sent us a little care package.  They live in Bronco country...hailing from Loveland CO.  Full of BLUE and ORANGE chocolates.  We decided we were going to MUNCH and CRUNCH those BRONCOS candies!  :)
Tricia Price made these fabulous Seahawk shoes.  She let me try them on.  ;)

 And she made these earrings...
 Kerri Crossley was showing some attitude!
 Mike BBQ'd some delicious hot dogs...in addition to all of our appetizer foods
 We had chicken wings. baby tacos, boneless chicken nuggets, meatballs and marinara, salsa and chips, baked brie with red grapes, little weenies
 I made a Seahawks cake with my new checkerboard cake pan and included chocolate chip surprise in the chocolate checkers.
 Tricia also made this fabulous Seahawks cake for a cubscout activity only to find out that the cake activity was for the following month.  We enjoyed at our party though.  This is Aliza...she's 7.  ;)


 Logan showing his Seahawks power...
 Jack doing his thing...
 And Cody munching on some pretzels.
 Keppi and Cheryl!  They were avid fans watching the game.

 The kids played outside for a bit...even though it was VERY COLD!!  You wouldn't think it since they are in their t shirts...

 Cody found this huge stick...his sword...



 It's halftime and that means time to cut into the cake and ice cream.  Happy boys!





 Grandma arrived with the Cherry Cobbler.
 Decker, I think had thirds, he would return to the ice cream container on his own, again and again.
 Awww!  The Crossleys....


 The inside of the cakes...

 Woo Hoo!  Score!
 Go Adam!!  We had our own Seagals in the house!


 Cody built this tall tower...

 We drove to West Seattle....Alki beach to get some great pictures of the Seattle skyline...sporting the 12th man and Seahawks colors.  So awesome!

HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES and Avengers Assemble!

 On Friday night, the 25th, Decker's school celebrated Halloween with the MONSTER MASH!  Cody wanted to wear his DINOSAUR costume and Decker wore his TRANSFORMERS costume.

 We played BINGO...  We won 2 games, so they both got to pick a prize.  Cody picked a Black Dodge ball with Frankenstein on it and Decker picked a ball that lights up when it hits the ground.  We ate lots of buttery popcorn too.

 I love Cody's tail...

 Decker played with this fake fire...
 This is Cameron from Decker's Kindergarten class, and here you can see Decker's ball that he won.
 This is Cameron's dad...Crazy Hair dad, as she puts it.  LOL
 Decker played the cake walk to win some cool Candy!
 
 This is Ryder from Decker's class...he's a Black Widow...just like I will be....

 AVENGERS  ASSEMBLE!! 

On Saturday night, the 26th, we had our Annual Trunk or Treat at the church.  We dressed up as Captain America, Hulk, Ironman and Black Widow.  It was so fun putting my costume together...I got these exercise pants and shirt from Mike last year at Christmas.  Good thing he got me a gym pass that I've been using since January 2 -4 times per week.  I super glued my printed out SHEILD patches on my arms.  Made my Black Widow Hour glass belt out of craft foam, bought some kids guns and bullet bracelets and spray painted them black, borrowed Keppi's black high heeled boots and I ordered the official Black Widow wig off of Ebay.  It all came together very nicely!

 The Grunkermeiers were all Black Ninjas!  They've got the moves to go with the costumes too!
 This is Emma...she's in my primary class.
 This is Sydney, also in my primary class...Abigail was in my sunbeams class last year...
 This is Zack from my class...
 and Trey...also in my class.
 Decker loved the fishing booth.  He kept going back to it.  He got a couple of cool pencils.  


 Flaming RED!

 
 Aunt K. came with us to celebrate..she was a cave woman!

 Cody liked this little bowl with a hand in it that reached out to touch your hand as you reach in for candy.


 Yummy Caramel Apples...Very Gooey!
   
We got lots of compliments on our GROUP Costume and a few comments on how great--no, AMAZING-- I looked in my costume.  My work outs at KOKO have paid off!  It was a fun night and we get to dress up again next week.  Yay!!!
