Last weekend was Little Ish's 7th Birthday Party. It was a Halloween party! I can't believe he's 7 years old already!! That's crazy!! I had a good time! Brandon and I stopped in the Halloween store before we headed over there because he needed a costume. He decided earlier he wanted to be a vampire, but not your typical Halloween Vampire. He wanted to be a real one.. like on True Blood. We are so addicted to that show! Anyway.. so he just wanted vampire teeth and some face paint to make him pale. Pretty easy right?!? Wrong! He couldn't just get the teeth you pop in and out.. nope he had to get the vampire teeth that go on those two teeth that cost $20. I was going to go as a rag doll again, but I really wanted a new costume. I saw Rainbow Bright and lost it!! I wanted to be her!! Of course they didn't have that costume in my size, so I was a German girl instead.. I forget what the package called me. Everyone said I looked like a St. Pauly's girl though.
Back to Brandon's teeth! So we get to the party and he goes inside to put in his teeth, only to find out they are a bit more involved then he though. Come to find out he had to boil water and mix it with this mix that came with them and practically make a mold of his teeth. Long story short.. he was inside for over and hour and a half before he got them fixed and even then he couldn't keep them in long because the mold wasn't dry. He wasn't suppose to wear them until it was, because then they get stuck on his teeth. So, the party was pretty much over by the time he came out. I didn't get any pictures of him. I had already put my camera in the truck since we were outside and it was pitch dark by the time he came out. I actually didn't take many pictures at all, and the ones I did take are not good at all. For the first time in over a year I put my camera on auto and snapped a couple of pictures. It was getting dark way too fast and I didn't have the patience for fiddling with my camera settings after just 3 photos. I didn't even get a picture of Chopper in his Incredibles costume, which was uhh.. a little too small for him to say the least, so he didn't wear it long.
Kevin was the cutest little dinosaur!!
Savannah was an adorable Lady Bug!
And I realized that as much as I like taking pictures.. I hate it when someone wants me to pose for a picture. I actually don't even really like having my picture taken. I'm pretty self consence, and when I look at myself in these pictures they took I can TOTALLY see how unsure of myself I am.
So glad to see you smiling!!
