October (in November) Part 2

Okay well so I lied about posting the next day...sorry. (that last bit was said with extreme sarcasm if you don't notice.) On to the rest of October. P.S. This will lead to the previously mentioned scary. Just so you are warned.

After the insanity of the month we decided (or rather were told by some) to have a Halloween party with some friends from work. Basically we started this whole game night thing before we were married and it continued for quite sometime. Last year we decided to have a Halloween party and I got the brilliant idea to make Chili. Now my maternal line are all very good cooks (paternal too) and I have watched for years and feel like I know how to do it as I help with preparation but that was the first time that I had made it solely by myself. Well it was a hit! So much so that I was told that I was to make it again. Who am I to go against the party planners? jk. Below you see the merry carvers. As always it became quite the competition. You see last time David and Hilary decided to start smack talking each other. It was epic. In the end Hilary's pumpkin ended up 'writing' a suicide note stating that it could not hold up under the pressure. This was again the theme this year as Hilary's 'pumkin' left her a message on facebook. This time it exploded under the pressure (via video of course).

Then on Friday before Halloween we went to the ward Halloween party. This was quite the event. We went dressed as Mario and Princess Peach, our friends and next door neighbors came as Luigi and Princess Daisy. David and Seth made the perfect characters, both looking and acting the part. The highlights of the night were the doughnut on a string contest. (David's first by the way). One gentleman behind me stated that it was a classic confrontation Mario Vs. Luigi.The last and final event of the evening was the Fear Factor. Fittingly enough the power went out and we had to use flash camera and flash light. The boys (neither of which could be out done by the other) went through the rounds to eat

1. Bone Marrow

2. Baby Whale Eyes

3. Whale Blubber

4. Utah Lake Sardines

5. A live Goldfish. Yes my friends a LIVE goldfish. Just in case you are wondering a gold fish can stay alive for at least a minute in your stomach. Please do not try this at home. I about lost my lunch watching them. Below you can see David proving that it is not hidden in his mouth! YUCK!!!

We did not celebrate Halloween in the normal sense of the holiday. Instead David went to school and then came home to cuddle for a bit before running some errands, wandering throughout the mall hand in hand, and then David even asked me on a date! We tried to go see a movie last week and when we realized that we were two hours early we grabbed some sushi and when we returned the movie was sold out. This week we thought ahead and bought tickets THEN went to get our dinner, buy Bones season 4!!!, and just spend time talking about our future and being all gushy and cuddly. It was a wonderful day. Towards the end David received a text from one of my cousins dis-inviting him to the Thanksgiving day Turkey Bowl (something they totally forgot to invite him to last year) as we were 'to good' to come to the family get together at grandmas, something which I had forgotten about as we do not have children to take around...oops.
