Halloween 2013

We made these rad Jack-o-lanterns with Jeison and Deb. I made the Cheshire Cat, Deb did the sugar skull, Jeison made the ghost and Jeff had the TRex.









On Halloween night, Jeff made a spooky tunnel at the Hansen's front porch out of soccer goals and streamers.  After tunnel construction Jeff came to Jeison and Deb's where Deb was putting on my sugar skull makeup dressed like Wheezy (the penguin from Toy Story) and the boys played FIFA. Jeison dressed like a Wells Fargo employee.

Each time the doorbell would ring, either Deb or I would answer the door and while the kids were choosing candy Jeff would jump out wearing a scary wolf mask. It scared every single kid and some parents. Jeff manged to scare me later with the mask because when we got home that night when he hung it on the coat rack and as i came around the corner there was just enough light to make the eyes glow and it freaked me out. i thought the wolf man was certainly standing in my doorway.

Next year I think we will try this instead.

Portlandia!

a pic of our room
I love Portland because it is beautiful! First views were flying over Mt Hood and Mt Saint Helen's with their beautiful snowy peaks and lush green trees. The autumn was spectacular there, all colors of the fall. Downtown the streets are made for pedestrians so it was cool to walk around and see the bridges and old buildings.  We took Del Loy's jet and I never want to wait in line for security again. We stayed at the Nine's hotel and it was swwwwaaaannnkkkkyyy! We were able to sit in the box with the Hansen's in Jeld-Wen field. That place is insane with all those Timbers fans. Timber's Army. They cheered every minute of the game. Outside the stadium they have the biggest bike rack I've ever seen.  We got to go to the Adidas Employee Store which is Jeff's happiest place on earth.
