HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Just for a bit of fun...I made some Halloween Videos for you guys!

They're pretty short....so make sure you watch them all LMAO! There is also a special video I made for you all at the end!!!!

Don't forget to turn on your sound :)

WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE VIDEOS SORRY!

When Robbi, and I , were at Walmart...we had a bit of fun trying out all the monsters for sale. This poor guy just would not work! He kept on making funny noises, and I about peed myself with laughter! (Of course I cut that part out!)

Then there was this guy...unfortunatley something went haywire with my camera, and I only was able to capture about 10 seconds of him. I also managed to stop filming right before Robbi had an hysterical fit of laughter, and snorted!!! Dang it!

Then of course there were the crazy goblin guys....we just had to push them all at once!

And the bats! Why on earth would Walmart try to sell this?? It's broken LOL

And finally our Walmart trip comes to end with this guy....

WITH OUT FURTHER A DO....I GIVE YOU MY HALLOWEEN VIDEO!!!! You've seen most of these pics before....but hey...it's Halloween!

Over the weekend, I went to a Halloween party. The theme was characters from Johnny Depp movies. I had a little trouble deciding what to go as. Of course I wanted to be a pirate, but there are so many characters to choose from. I wanted to go as Charlie, as Peter Pan, Tinkerbelle, Corpse Bride, Headless Horseman, Alice in Wonderland, Tonto, CryBaby's girl, Bille Frechette, or any of the other countless roles. However, in the end, I went as a pirate. What can I say? I love pirates!

It started as a grand adventure to get to fellow blooger Robbi's house. I needed assistance in getting into my costume. (And no it's not because I may have gained a few small pounds since the last time I wore it) The wig, which is as thick as can be, is a two person job. You just can't get it on by yourself. There's no way. You need two pairs of hands. Robbi still had no idea what she was going as, and it was almost 6pm. She went back and forth between three costume ideas, and finally settled on going as a 30's lady from "Public Enemies". She looked great! And so did her hubby, the cableman. He went as Mort Rainey from the movie "Secret Window". He really looked a lot like him! It cracked me up!

I rode with Robbi, and Mort, to the party. It was pretty chilly outside, but very warm and toasty inside the party. It was wonderful. The first thing I noticed is that there was a very strange, and scary, devil guy there. Scared the pants off me at first, until I figured out it was none other than Osh's hubby! I was totally taken back by this costume, and could not stop taking pics of him! He was from the movie "The Ninth Gate", and Osh was from "The Corpse Bride". They looked great!

Then I ran into a Pirate Gorilla! Of course I had to stop and have a picture with him! Who can resist a gorilla? And a PIRATE gorilla at that!

This pirate gorilla just happens to be married to a most wonderful person. Mrs Lovett! That's right, we had a resident Mrs Lovett from "Sweeney Todd". In fact, we had two! They were both great! We even got them to pose together! Jenny, however, showed me that there are many things that you can accomplish with a rolling pin!

There were several unscrupulus characters about as well! I believe that Dillinger, and an accompliss were in the building! There was a massive shoot out! They narrowly escaped!

I managed to run into a few of my fellow renegade pirates, Alice, and yes....even a bottle of beer! I got a great chuckle out of Rod's costume. I never thought I would meet a real life...full sized....bottle of beer!

Our gracious hosts, The Lone Ranger and Tonto (aka Kris and Left Hand Louie), have a wonderful home! It was all decked out in Halloween goodies, and a great Jack cake! We had a lot of yummy food to snack on! There was even a cauldron of Rum Punch with floating, eadible, eyeballs! Now, keep in mind, these are EYEBALLS! Jenny, aka Mrs Lovett, decided it would be a good idea to try one of these so called eadible eyeballs. However, the Lone Ranger needed to try one first. And so he did.

Jenny, being the sweet girl she is, had to eat an eyeball after poking at it in the cauldron. "It feels like an eyebal!" She screamed, and laughed. But down the hatch it went....and out the hatch it came. We were just dying with laughter as she tried her best to chew the slimy eyeball.

After finally getting in all the way down......I thought I would give it a go. First I couldn't pick it up. It was too slimy. Then I swallowed it down....then spit it back out. I couldn't do it. It was so gross!!! After a bit of laughter, and coaching, I managed to chew it up. It wasn't that bad when all was said and done...just the initial chew.

Then Captain Sean, Mary's hubby, decided to give it a whirl. With no hesitation at all, he picked it up...smiled for the camera...then ate it. I was shocked. LOL

Next up was Pictionary. I have no idea how to play the game, and was petrified when it was my turn. However, my team did great, and I managed to draw some recognizable objects. Some people were not as lucky. (You know who you are!)

What a great night we had! And some AWESOME costumes! I couldn't post all the pics here, but if you want to take a look at them all....here are some links:
