Halloween fun!

I know I have been behind on pretty much all of my October blogs! I start on a blog and I just can't finish it because the kids are always around!  We just have been super busy! Especially because the kids have been sick for a good 2 weeks! I just got finished with 3 blogs today and this will make number 4 if the kids stay asleep long enough for me to finish it!

On October 29th, 2011 I flew up to visit my family for my Grandma's Birthday on the 30th. And my sisters told me that we are going out at 9pm to celebrate Halloween in Downtown San Jose! I haven't got away from my kids since my birthday in July, so I was very excited, but a little Guilty since Michael was sick, dealing with sick kids too!  But in the end I had a blast!

We headed over to my sisters friends house to look at some of her costumes that she had so I didn't have to buy one last min. It turned out great since she had great costumes to choose from!

I ended up choosing an Indian Costume! Very cute! I was very grateful she didn't mind me borrowing one of  her costumes! I was also very lucky that My sister Jen and I wear the same size shoe, So I didn't have to buy new shoes! Thanks Jen!

Pirate Jen, Fire Captain Courtney, and Me!

I love my sisters!

Thanks Sisters for taking your little sister out and showing me a good old time! I haven't had that much fun a really long time! Love you both so much! I can't wait to do that again! The Dance battle was super fun doing the sprinkler, the fishing pole, and the robot! Good times guys! Miss you all already! I love making new and fun memories with you guys!

On Monday Oct. 31st we had our Annual Block Party again this year! The turn out was not as many as last years but it was still lots of fun! Amie and I decided to make a pinata again like we did last year!  Except last year Amie made a bat and this year I made the Spider!
