Halloween Party

Last weekend was our friends Mo and Ali’s Halloween Party! We’ve decided it is going to be an annual tradition! We had a blast, of course!
Me and the husband. The pilot and flight attendant or “air hostess” as Karri was calling me! The best part of the husband’s costume is his “Capt” pin that I found in his space camp stuff from when he was 12! Love it.

Our host and hostess, Mo and Ali. Can anyone guess what Ali was? If so, you get a gold star for the day….it took us a while to figure it out. As for Mo…..lets just say that his name tag said “Richard” and we watched a certain SNL video clip featuring Justin Timberlake. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about…don’t make me say it on this blog!

Here is Brett and Karri. Karri is from Australia, so she made sure to bring a little bit of culture to our party! Brett was Crocodile Dundee! Kari made his costume and it was fabulous! To keep with the Australian theme Karri was Vegemite, which is a popular food paste in Australia. We all thought it was gross….but Karri loves it!

Mo’s sister Andrea and her hubbie Mike, aka. Popeye and olive Oil. Don’t they look great?

The boys
The girls
Karri with her Vegemite on crackers for everyone to try.

Everyone eating the Vegemite…except me and Brett. We knew better. We all played drinking Jenga that had tasks written on each block. We quickly added “Eat Vegemite” to one!

Jenga made us do some weird things….like switch an item of clothing with another player.

And sit on another player’s lap. Man I look pale….but Brett’s tan is totally fake.

More switching clothing.

And more lap sitting.
And of course dancing. Sorry Ali, I just had to do it! Thanks Mo and Ali for a great time! We can’t wait for next year!

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
