Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! This year everyone got into the spirit. Last night we carved pumpkins while watching Hocus Pocus. As always Mark's looks awesome (smiling face)...mine looks like a 2nd grader's art work (drilled flowers). :-)


Saturday was Trunk or Treating at church. Gizmo dressed up for this event. I am yet to decide if he will dress up for Trick or Treating tonight.

After the church party we went to a party/costume contest thrown by another Walmart employee.
The Aquardians (left to right: Dan & Tara Flemming, Mark & Jill Smallwood, Spencer & Mardee Clive) showed up to the party in a 6x4.5ft swimming pool (it got torn down before we remembered to take pictures) with some spontaneous synchronized swimming to make sure nobody could misunderstand our matching costumes, floral swim caps, goggles, and towels. When the contest started the pool was rearranged into one long 17ft cover so we could be "underwater" during the appropriate parts of our minute long routine which was complete with music, spins, lifts, and kicks! Guests even called for an encore. Aren't you impressed? The judges were. We won first place in the group costume category! The biggest bummer of the night was that the video of our routine didn't turn out b/c it was too dark in the house! So sad...but Mardee is already plotting an encore performance. Maybe one day it will show up on youtube. Until then you can enjoy the rest of the pictures.






Mark may have thrown out the idea as a joke, but the Lady Aquardians made it happen!

Fun in the photo booth that was set up at the party!
