Pumpkins, Brownies, Princesses and Ping Pong=

Halloween! But not in that order! Yes, I am finally going to post about our wonderful Key West Halloween and how much fun we had.

Lets start with costumes. Marianna and I had great, wonderful, superb costumes, and were the only ones in the entire marina who even dressed up. What is wrong with all those retired military folk eh? Anyway, Marianna and I looked beautiful and had a lot of fun in our costumes. She was a princess, or Queen Anne (?) of Hungary, who became a saint.

Isn't she gorgeous?! She got the dress from K-Mart and then beautified it with ribbon. I thought she looked very authentic, especially with the make-up job by yours truly!

I was, of course, knockout, drop dead, jaw dropping gorgeous as a '30's movie star, or flapper, depending on who you asked!

Don't I look lovely in green?

As you can see and possibly guess, we went up to the Chief's Club to celebrate. Marianna wanted to make brownies and did an excellent job as they were delicious!

We invited our friend and neighbor, Joe, to go with us and had a really great time playing him at shuffleboard and ping pong. I don't think I won at shuffleboard, but I kicked his tail at ping pong! I still grin about it! I haven't asked him if I can post a picture of him yet though, so won't this post. Maybe later, after I ask his permission.

So our costumes were great and we had a ton of fun. But what about the pumpkins you ask? They kicked tail! Vanessa thinks her's was awesome?! No way! Not compared to ours. Thats not bragging either, that's fact! Check them out:Mine. Note the originality and I must tell you that it was all from my brain and hand carved with no pattern or anything. Unlike some.Marianna's. Note the incredible detail on the teeth. Yes, that pumpkin does indeed have braces! Great job kiddo!

And, as we were having a competition with him, Joe's. I like the glasses, makes it look so goofy! Although the stitches in the cheek do add some Halloween spirit.

And finally, check out who we saw in town on Halloween!

Were he and Mrs. Claus there checking to see who is being naughty and nice or were they just enjoying some of the beautiful weather down here? :)
