Halloween

Guess I better post about Halloween...considering tomorrow is Thanksgiving!

So this Halloween was super fun because well...we actually live in a neighborhood! With kids and everything! ha 

But before Halloween we had a costume show at work (for the pets!). So, I dressed up little Cocoa as a bumblebee and she looked adorbs. Everyone gave out a big "aww" as she walked across the stage. She absolutely hated her costume, though. She would only keep the headpiece on for about 5 seconds. Petey was a prince and Sammy was a biker dude. We had grand plans to dress them up as 3 different colored crayons, but UPS lost our package and we didn't get it in time. :( But the event was great and I even got my picture with the Fancy Feast cat!

Excuse my face...I think I was talking. But this pic of Cocoa says it all. She's like "get this thing off of me!" 

Sammy was so cute and kept his hat on really well.

Petey as a prince :)

And here's me with the Fancy Feast cat! (I was looking at a different camera)

The actual day of Halloween we lit the candles in the pumpkins and got the candy ready. I put on my devil's outfit (cause I didn't want to buy anything new) and prepared for the kiddos to come. We had so many kids come and they were adorable! Apparently, in St. Louis, kids tell a joke instead of saying "trick or treat" so that was very entertaining. One of my favorite jokes was "What did the ocean say to the beach? Nothing, just waved!" So cute!

Overall is was a great Halloween. Pets in costumes are the best, and the kids are cute too :)

Mizzou Homecoming

A few weekends ago I attended Mizzou's 101st homecoming. It was so great to see my college friends, and to be back in Columbia. I really have missed it!

We arrived Friday, and after a huge fiasco at the Econolodge (NEVER STAY THERE), we headed out the infamous McGinty's. I started going there after college and I just love it. I know the owner and it's a very laid back place, which is what I like these days.

We headed back to the nasty hotel to prepare for an early morning.

Saturday morning we arrived bright and early for some tailgating! The game was at 11am so the tailgating started around 8. It was kind of cold, but not too bad.

Finally, reunited with my sorority sisters! Aren't they so pretty? :)

Doesn't the field look awesome? They revamped it for the SEC.

   

We napped after the game and then ended the night at Trops. Man, I forgot how good that place is! I also got the "Big O" sushi roll from Sake. Nothing beats it. I really wish there was something in St. Louis as good as this roll. YUM.

Like I said before, it was so great to see everyone. I really wish we all lived in the same house (or neighborhood) like the good days at Mizzou. Oh well, the memories I have are priceless.
