Atticus' Pirate Costume And Jordan's Mermaid

A pic to show you his tatoo

I love him in leggings and boots.

So this year I have been having a lot of fun making and putting together homemade costumes. I have been very proud of myself, now for another crafty person I am sure they think "oh this poor girl is terrible" but I am proud of myself and I think that is all that matters. So here is his pirate costume. I made the vest, cut the shirt and used the bottom material from another costume. Any way like I said before I am loving this Halloween. Oh and yeah this is what the kids were for Seth's Halloween work party. I don't know if this is what we are going to be again for Trick or Treating or not. We will see.

Pumpkin Carving 2011

Rachel's spider web

Tabor's Zebra

My pumpkin face and that is suppose to be phineaus from a disney show the kids love but it is kinda hard to tell. I didn't even take a pic of my other one I don't think you could tell at all. It was the Hunger Games pin/symbol.

Seth's sweet Adobe A but it actually kinda looks like a pumpkin face. Way cool

This is just after Atticus put his hand in the pumpkin

We finally got to our pumpkin carving. Normally we do it a week earlier, but we have just been so busy. Rachel and Tabor got us the big pumpkins and we picked up the lil ones. I had a hard time this year carving, all of mine didn't turn out very well. This year Rachel provided blue gloves, so our hands didn't have to get all slimy and itchy. That is what happens to me they get all itchy. We had Atticus try to pull out the stuff but he did not like it one bit. We are so excited to go trick or treating in our new neighborhood. I guess it is suppose to be awesome, like everyone participates.

Adobe Halloween Horror Hoorah Party

What a day! So before the families came, we had a company lunch and the results to the competition for what group did the best. Harry Potter, my group, actually won. It is the first time finance/accounting group has ever won. One of the managers went up to accept our $5000 prize for winning, and the senior VP said, "we want Harry." So I ran up there and had a duel with the manager and I beat him. It was pretty sweet.
So while we waited in line, there were exotic pets that these people brought around for people to see. Atticus loved the tarantula. He was not even afraid. They had a sweet live band, fresh cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream and drinks to enjoy. We had jugglers, and yo-yo guys.


So the first room below was themed Men in Black. They actually had carts for people to ride on and it followed a track. Everyone was given a nurf gun of sorts to shoot aliens as they came into view. The photo doesn't do it justice, but they had black lights and everything glowed. The aliens even moved around.
This area is from a movie where the pumpkins take over and kill the town. They had a village before and after shoots made of wood and everything. Looked really legit. The pumpkins pictured here would talk to you as you strolled past.
This area was Angry Birds. They had several room where you actually shot down the building and guys with. Jordan enjoyed this one.

This room was Adobe Farms. They had scary people to jump out at you, but Atticus didn't seem to care about them, Jordan was pretty afraid of them though.
This was an actually rope swing, and yes I rode on it:)

This room was done by the Execs, so oh course all of their costumes were purchased. The theme was Toy Story 3.
The midgets pictured below are hired from Las Vegas. They were pretty funny. The original owner of Omniture would hire them to be his Umpa Lumpa's. Last year since he was

not with the company any more, he hired them to picket outside of the Halloween Party. This year they just hired them to take photos with. Atticus has a funny look at them.
These alien midgets are the only people Jordan wanted to take a picture with. She turned down taking a picture with Barbie and Ken or even Lotso the bear.
This photo is the transformation to be able to get to Wonderland.
This Alice is Wonderland was great. All the bushes were rented from a local nursery. The music and atmosphere was just great.


So now we are at Harry Potter land. To get there you had to go to the train station and board at the platform 9 3/4. There is so much detail and so many areas, it's so hard to get even a glimpse of everything.

This is part of the Forbidden Forrest of Harry Potter.
This Quidditch Pitch is what my small group completed. The kids would pick up a broom and fly it through the room while playing Quidditch.

This area was holidays from around the room. The movie playing is the 3 Amigos. They had an actually performance of the 3 Amigos.
This area is story land, this picture is from, Where the Wild Things Are.


The only area that I really like that I didn't get any pictures of was the Zombie room. They had animatronics and it was like a real scare house. Atticus loved it, Jordan not so much.

We had a great time. I only get six extra tickets besides myself, so if someone wants to come next year, make sure to get your reservation in!

Harry Potter

Seth had to be Harry Potter for work today, and when I went to the Halloween stores they were all out of Harry Potter stuff. Really like every store. Apparently everyone is going to be Harry. So I decided to use what we had and make our own. I used 2 ties to make the tie, printed out the seal on card stock paper then sewed it to denim then sewed to Seth's sweater, Seth found a stick in the back yard and stained it dark, and finally we found some party glasses at the party store that make your eyes kinda like magnifying glasses and popped those out and hooray our Harry Potter Costume. I love how he looks. I think he looks great. We are going to his work today to walk through his entire work. I guess Halloween is a really big deal for them, they go all out and decorate like crazy, everyone has a themed room hence Seth having to be Harry Potter. We will take lots of pics and show everyone. But also each room had a $2,500 budget and they spent 10K on candy!!!!!! So that is how great and crazy it is suppose to be.

16 weeks

So we r so excited my Dr. took a peek for us and said he is pretty sure we r having a girl. So we will be having little Brittan Sarager. Jordan, Carol, and Atticus came with me. Jordan was so so excited when we found out. She was all smiles and saying yeah I get a little sister. We r so excited and at our official ultrasound still hope it is a girl. They said they r pretty sure but u never know.

Halloween Party

So we had a Halloween party at my house last night, and it turned out so great. There was tons of goodies and people's costumes were great. The zombies (Kale, and Murto) won scariest costume. The man in black or wesley from Princess Bride (Mike) won coolest costume. Shay won funniest costume, she was a pregnant housewife. Most creative was Kailie, Marie Antoinette, and Best all around was our Friends the Daniels with their sweet Goth costumes. We played a pictionary/charades game and just had a ton of fun. Thanks everyone for coming. Oh and I just want to say I made Atticus' Trojan costume. I am so proud of myself and feel like such a crafty mom.
