Where to start? Hmmm . . .
Well . . . most of you are on facebook, except for my dear blogging friend, Amee (who sent me the cutest Halloween card that was perfect for me), . . . but I still am going to post a couple of the pics I put on there.
Cole was sick the night we were supposed to go to Palmyra's Halloween party. Matt told me to go without him, he said he would stay home with Cole, so like a good wife . . . I did. lol
Amee, here is a senior pose for you. I don't quite have it down like you.
PALMYRA'S HALLOWEEN PARTY
I have a non-alcoholic beer in my hand. This was pointed out to me on facebook. Don't worry, it wasn't mine. I was holding it for the photographer. I don't drink beer because I think it tastes good . . . there would be no reason for me to drink a non-alcoholic beer.
This next one seems to scare people, but I think it is funny. It's Nacho Libre!
FAMILY
I also recently took some photos of my SIL's family.
PIONEER WOMAN COOKS
I was so excited to get PW's cookbook in the mail last week:
It is gorgeous on the inside. I believe all of the recipes are on her site but it is so nice having them in a book. I made this for dinner, please forgive my crummy photo . . . but I was hungry.
Yeah, it doesn't look very appetizing . . . but it was.
The best things were the onion strings. I would definitely make them again. The meatballs were pretty good. I know, they look disgusting, but really, they were pretty good. And the mashed potatoes were yummy but I still prefer mine. I linked the recipes in case you are interested. Her pics definitely look more appetizing than mine do!
Back to Halloween . . .
I had my very own emo for Halloween. No, not Elmo. Emo. Yep, if you don't know what that means or is . . . then you are old.
Yep, the jeans are a little long, he definitely has the skinny legs for skinny jeans though, and he is wearing my size 8 tennis shoes! lol
He wore the same jacket two years ago for Halloween:
It is a pretty cool jacket.
I was hoping it would fit me.
I tried it on.
It fits.
Kind of.
Sort of.
I just might be an emo next year! :)
it would have been ok if it was alcoholic beer you know kristi - if it was a straight whisky, that would have been ok too!
PW is having a busy time right now - i watched the online vid of her on bonnie hunt, so cute! she doesn't sound as southern as i thought she would - all that time on the ranch and she's still an LA girl!
is that matt's brother? if so,. they look alike!
also, i think your meal looks GREAT!

I definitely know what an EMO is. sadly.
Love your costume.
And the dinner does look great. I might have to get that book!

Sue, I didn't want anyone thinking I drank non-alcoholic beer. lol
Not Matt's brother, that is his sister. :)
I knew you would know what an emo is, Deb.

I think I kinda know what an emo is. I guess that makes me semi-old???
I think you have the senior pic pose down pat.
Cole looks really good in his costume!

Honestly, both of those Halloween party photos are scary!
The food looks yummy. I'm thinking my family will like the onion strings!
And I'm so excited to be able to say I know what emo is! You didn't have to tell me and I didn't have to Google.

Great costumes. I thought the Emo costume was familiar and it was! It still looks cute the second time around!
Love the photos of Matt's sister and family.
I need to read Pioneer woman's site. I haven't looked for over a year! I tried her sweet potato thing - you know the one you forked yourself with? ; ) Sadly, it wasn't for my palate.

you have me wanting to make meatballs now....
Posted by: keri | November 11, 2009 at 07:28 PM
I agree with Kendra about the scary Halloween photos. And I agree with Keri about the meatballs. I'm craving meatballs now. The onion strings look good....maybe you'd better post that recipe for those of us who don't feel like going to Pioneer Woman's website.
You look cute in your costume.
Oh, and those are great photos of Matt's sister's family. Te kids walking away is darling.

You paid for a month's worth of Typepad and didn't use it. Stop wasting money. Blog more frequently. : )
