Halloween Early and Haunted Mansions!

So our ward Halloween party was friday night and since I have other plans for costume for a dinner party I am planning, I threw this together for the party. My sister-in-law and her family are in our new ward, so we went as witches together. It was really fun....the best part, dressing up.

Kya even got into dressing up....I LOVE IT! She was really having a blast putting on her costume. I have made reference to "FANCY NANCY" in previous posts...aka Kya's birthday gifts...but for those of you who need a little reminder, Fancy Nancy is a series of little girl books that we love to read
Here is one of the books. Well, Kya is Fancy Nancy this year for Halloween. It was fun to put this costume together, even Kya's hair played the part. Daddy didn't dress up because he got home from being out of town all week just minutes before we had to go to the party.


Our sexy witch legs. I have never been a witch before, for Halloween at least...hee hee hee...it was really fun.

Showing off her cute little panta-loons.

Lovin' it.


Then Saturday night my mom, Alicia and I went to Albion to the Haunted Mansions. It used to be the Albion Normal Teaching College and is now an abandoned campus. It has been abandoned for about 30 years or so and recently someone just bought the place and decided to put on a Haunted Mansions tour before renovation. I am totally jealous, because I saw the campus about 10 years ago and wanted to buy it and turn it into a resort, getaway....someone beat me to it. But it was totally cool and we had a great time. We were laughing most of the time, but scared just a few other times. BOO!
