Witches Night Out 2010

Witches Night Out was a fabulous affair despite the fact that we never actually made it to the literal "Witches Night Out". Turned out that for various reason all of us were having a crappy day, not to mention it was pouring rain.

Instead, we decided to bond & get some ice cream. It was the perfect capper to a kind of lame sauce day. Thanks ladies for being so much fun to hang out with!

Witches Night Out!

This weekend is one of the neatest things I do all year! It's called WITCHES NIGHT OUT at Gardner Village. Friday & Saturday from 6 - 10pm it's the ultimate ladies night out! They have music, dancing, sales in their shops, food, treats, prizes, drawings... all sorts of fun things! And you all go dressed like witches &, literally, everyone is dressed up- for those who might feel silly. This will be my 4th year attending the celebration. Anyone who is in Utah should make the trek to come and enjoy. I'll be there with a group on Saturday night! Here are a couple pictures of Witches Nights of the past!

PS even if you can't make it check out Gardener Village another time- they have shops full of crafts, quilts, homemade candy, & great restaurants too!

Witches Night Out 2012

We were chatting as we drove to Gardner Village on how many years we've been to Witches Night Out. I couldn't pin down how many at that time but after I got home & I checked on the blog I realized it's been 9 years (our first time was 2004).
As always it was a blast. Not as cold as years past, but the music wasn't as rockin' as in years past either. Mostly it's nice to have a tradition, get together with friends, and dance. Other than my car & my living room there aren't many places for this mama of 3 to really boogie. Witches Night Out fulfills that & I love it.

 And as per tradition we got chips & salsa and had a nice long reconnecting/chatting time at Chilli's afterward. 

And just cause it's awesome here's a little peak into years past. Enjoy!

Witches Night Out 2008

We had a blast at WITCHES NIGHT OUT at Gardner Village It was another FABULOUS year of fun makeup, bread bowl soup, & dancing! Thanks girls for a fun night! Five years & counting!

We tried out wigs again this year- half way through the night we took them off- it was getting too hard to rock out with the wigs on. We had a great time!
I recommend, all you ladies, to check it out next year!

P.S. Here was last years excursion. ALWAYS FUN!

Witches Night Out 2009

It was a small group this year, just Lay & I, but it was a BLAST!

There were the yummy bread bowl soups & lots of dancing...

And a mini photo shoot - a MUST at Witches Night Out...

All in all, we had a great time- not too cold, not too busy, & great company.
Thanks Lay, I had a blast!

P.S. More silly pics for your viewing pleasure...

Witches Night Out 2011

Yes, it's our 8th year of WitchesNightOut & counting and this year was a BLAST- the weather was perfect, the crowd was fabulous, and most importantly the music was bumpin'!

There aren't many opportunities to dance like crazy (it's not like I'm going to go hit up a club) but once a year I've got "Witch Night Out" to boogie down at. This year was mostly dancing- despite being pregnant, my clothes not fitting, and having a horrific cold- and I definitely relished it!

I say, anytime bonding with my favorite girls is a night worth enjoying!

P.S. Please enjoy our past years: 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, & 2006-2004

Sunday Family- October 28th

Yo, yo!

It was a busy fun week last week! Lots of getting ready for Halloween, running errands (I swear when I signed up for this whole "motherhood" gig I didn't realize that half my time would be spent in the car), helping friends out, & the week was capped with the annual fun of Witches Night Out (post to come)!

We also ran over to our local grocery store for a Halloween trick-or-treat party (here's the time they had a Pirate Party). We didn't have costumes ready yet so we dug through our "dress-ups" to throw something together. Syd dressed as a princess, Rob was an Indian (from this Thanksgiving play), and Linc doesn't own any dress ups so searched & came up with this- a ghost & man, oh man, I'm biased but that kid is CUTE!

The next few days are going to be complete madness! I'm trying not to freak out but I have a TON to do on costumes, a ton of activities, & the kids each have a field trip this week.
What fun plans do you guys have for Halloween week?
What are you or your kids dressing as? 
Favorite Halloween candy? (I'm seriously disappointed that Syd & Rob are getting old enough to notice if I steal their candy this year)

P.S. And the winner guys... the winner of the SHABBY APPLE giftcard (by random number generator because my children are in bed & therefore can't draw a name for you) giveaway is...

2007 Witches Night Out!

Good fun had by all! If there isn't anything like this in your town I highly recommend getting together with your girlfriends, dressing up like witches (getting ready is the best part), & go out to eat! Here are some pictures of the nights festivities!

Attention all Ladies....

Witches Night Out is THIS WEEKEND- Friday & Saturday at Gardener Village. It's going to be a blast & it seems like the weather will be nice!

There's the fun drive listening to music & yummy soup bowls when you get there..

...but the best part is the dancing! (I'm a HORRIFIC dancer, but for some reason when you're there it doesn't matter!)

This will be my 6th year & it's SUCH a fun time! You must experience it to know how great it is. Just let go & enjoy! We'll be attending TONIGHT & hope to see you there!

Our past years of FUN...
