The Final Countdown!!!

Ok people, we are only days away from All Hallows Eve and i am really starting to get excited!!! What other holiday allows you to get decked out in costume, get free candy from your neighbors, spend ridiculous amounts of money on haunted houses and basically just ring in the holiday season?!?

As an aside to my previous post, Logan has sportingly decided to be Mouth in our Goonies assemble. Mouth was the one who was immortalized by none other than 80's superstar Corey Hart. Now we just need our Bran....(Nate?). But i digest...it was a fun-filled weekend. Friday night Megan and i had a little DI shop-a-thon, it was fantastic , i found a dress for my costume, and managed to scrounge up an amazing trench and dress for everyday use. Then we went to Gepetto's with Brody, James and Logan. The atmosphere was great but the food was a little lacking.

Saturday (Happy Birthday Megan!!!) my family did a murder mystery for Lacey's birthday and it was a blast! Brody unfortunately got shot after the first act, but luckily got to play the Sheriff after. We both figured out who the real murderer was and Brody even won the Mr. Moneybags award for blackmailing everyone out of their money. Lacey put together this amazing slide show. Enjoy!



Oh and here is the cast. If you know my family you know how competitive we all are, it was hilarious. If you get the chance, i highly recommend participating in one!

Steve: High-Stakes Harry (owner of the Deadwood Saloon)
Dale: Montgomery Money (Wealthy businessman from the East)
Lisa: Minnie Money (Debutante from the East)
Russ: Jesse Wales (Outlaw)
Lacey: Black Barbara (Outlaw)
Kevin: Clay Coldwell (Gambler)
Lani: Banker Bonnie (Owner of the Deadwood Bank)
Brody: Mitch Maverick (Gambler)
Me: Holly Hickock (Gambler, Southern Belle)

Goonies Never Say Die

So me and some of my cool friends are going to be The Goonies for Halloween. It was Megan's genius idea of course, and i was ecstatic to be involved. I am going to play the Fratelli mom (the one that looks like a man), i volunteered and i'm excited about it. Megs is going to be Andy because she has the red hair and Brody is going to be Mikey because he still has some retainers he can wear for braces, Mike volunteered to play Chunk, Nicole is going to be Steph, James was forced to be Sloth (he's never seen the movie) and the success of our costume hangs in balance over whether Eric will follow through on his promise to be Data. We are still looking for a Mouth and Bran if you're interested....

If you are like me, and your parents didn't deprive you and you had older siblings, you spent your Saturdays looking for one-eyed-willie's rich stuff in your back yard and you know these characters like you know your family.

Just an F.Y.I. if you don't know who the mom in the Fratelli's is (my halloween costume) i've found this little treat on YouTube, a tribute to the acctress who plays her. Enjoy!
