Halloween begins!

So this last weekend we went to our usual halloween party. This year we didn't seem to know as many people, but we had a lot of fun with our friends that were there...probably one of the best I can remember! Dustin and I REALLY struggled with costumes-- I can partly blame it on we were busy with the wedding, then gone on the honeymoon, then once we were back were busy with writing the thank yous and just trying to get the place organized and put away. Then we just couldn't agree on anything-- everything I liked, he didn't...everything he wanted to do I thought was lame. So it was Saturday afternoon (party is Sat. night) and we still didn't have anything....so I caved in and went with dustin's idea. let's see if you can figure it out by the picture.....

If you guessed honeymooners, then you were right! I know, super corny! We just made some sweatshirts that had a jar of honey on the front and then bought fake butts to moon people. Next year we are going with one of my ideas and not waiting until the last minute! One of our friends brought a cooler with a fabulous drink-- I'll share the recipe and I can't wait to make this for any upcoming fall/winter parties we have! It tastes EXACTLY like some applie pie!

Bring 1 gallon apple juice and 1 gallon apple cider to a boil on the stove (optional to add cinnamon sticks too). After it's boiling, add one cup sugar and 1 liter bottle of Absolute vodka. Remove from heat (and remove cinnamon sticks). Put back into 1 gallon jugs and place in fridge to cool. After it cools, serve it as is.

Ok, my plan really is to get better about blogging and catch up on all the wedding stuff at some point. Things are FINALLY starting to slow down a little...I think after this weekend I'll have most everything off my "to do" list. This week is finishing up some name change things and have to get inspections on my car to renew my plates. Can't wait til that is all done!
