What do Dry Ice and Costumes have in common?

Halloween!

We went to Michael's parents house to do some Halloween celebrating and stuff. We played with dry ice, and had fun hanging out. His dad is in Italy, so sadly he didn't get to see us in our costumes.

I know you've all seen pics of me and Michael in our costumes, but I wanted to post this one anyway... :)

Matt's wife Edisa made Matts costume, as seen above. She also made her kids costumes -there are pictures of them in an older post. She did a great job.

Michaels sister Mia wearing Matts costume. She was a "couch potato" before this, and decided she needed a change

Elisa looks cute!

Marisa made her own wings, don't they look cool?

Mendy is the Muhna Muhna characters -if you havent seen that video, you should. It's funny! It's a muppet thing. She made it, I was impressed.

These are her hand puppets. So cute! They look pretty much exactly like in the video.

Charilie was so adorable! He was in a jailer costume. On the back it said: K98urshoos

Michael playing with the dry ice. We went and got 8 pounds of it. Which is a lot! But, we used it all. Michael likes to conduct experiments with dry ice around Halloween. It's one of his favorite traditions. :)

Michael has some dry ice in his mouth. Don't try this at home! Unless you know how to make sure that is doesn't burn you.

We had it in a cauldron, it looked so cool with the smoke going over it.

The kids loved it! See how the smoke went all over the counter? It was pretty sweet.

Michael was making a potion.

We discovered that if you use hot water, the smoke rises a lot! It went up the the ceiling.

You can see it spreading over the counter. I'd never played with dry ice before. It was fun.

We had a great first Halloween together! We got to do a bunch of fun things with both families, and we enjoyed everything! We got scared, and we got to spend quality time with my family, and his.

On Halloween night, we put out a bowl of candy, because no one came while we were there, when we came home later that night the bowl was gone. Not just the candy, the whole bowl! Someone took it! Haha, but that's okay. Maybe they needed it more.

We then watched "Secret Window" and Michael guessed everything in the beginning, but it still scared him. It was cute.

Hmm... now I wonder what I'll dress up as next year....
