Anyway - this weekend was ridiculously fun. It all started off with some pumpkin carving in our back yard, on a chilly Friday evening...
I love my derby girls, and I'm so happy that they came to join in the fun! They made some amazing pumpkins too!
I will kill you, my little pumpkin!! MUUUHAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
I decided to get an autumn-themed drink to go with the evening, and purchased Woodchuck hard cider. They came out with 2 limited edition kinds - Pumpkin, and Fall. I went with Fall, and it tasted like pumpkin pie with spices and sweet apples. I dunno what that means really, but it was delicious.
Next day, it was all about ZOMBIES!!! The Zombie Crawl came to Denver, and we were there & ready to have fun. These little ones are my friend Amy's nieces, and boy did they do a good job at looking creeeeeepy!
Amy, as a gypsy zombie. I LOVED her costume, and a lot of people wanted their picture with her!
Awwww, a whole family of the undead!
Shaun of the Dead, anyone!? :D
I made the t-shirt myself. It says "I LIKE YOU FOR YOUR BRAINS". :) When people could read it (my boobs kinda got in the way), they thought it was hilarious. I had to run to the derby bout afterward, but luckily there was still time to perform the Thriller Dance! It was a blast!
Yesterday a few friends & I went to see the Colorado Ballet's production of DRACULA. I haven't been to the ballet in a very long time, and it was amazing. I loved how modern everything was, and how they took dance to a whole new level. The sets and costumes were fantastic, and the scene changes and effects were super creepy, and made for a very exciting show!
I told my friend today, it seems so wrong to see a bunch of beautiful ballerinas with fake blood smeared all over their faces, but somehow they made it work. It was creepy, and beautiful, and really amazing. We all loved it!I already feel like this Halloween has been one of the most Halloweenie I've ever had. Here are some of the festivities that have been filling my time & calendar this month!
- Learned the "Thriller" dance choreography
- Watched like 20 episodes of "Ghost Hunters"
- We're reading Bram Stoker's "Dracula" for book club
- I went to the Zombies VS Vampires derby bout
- Pumpkin Carving
- Dracula Ballet
- Zombie Crawl
- 3 Halloween costume parties coming up this weekend....
I'm so excited! And Thanksgiving is coming up in a month, which is one of my most favorite holidays too. I just love this time of year!
uhh... can i come spend the holidays with you?! look how much fun you are having!
ReplyDeletealso, the dracula ballet production sounds (and looks) pretty dang awesome. wow.
Haha! Heck yeah, you can! :D
ReplyDeleteDracula was really amazing, and I'd highly recommend it. I forgot to mention that they did a whole dance number with Dracula and Johnathan Harker (both men), and it was so beautiful, and something you don't see very often!
