this is halloween!

Diz's Mom had a halloween party on Sunday night.
We had quite the feast, and thanks to proper planning & execution
(*cough, cough* Diz & I *cough, cough*)
we got to eat 30 mins after everyone arrived.

we had pizza, bbq chicken, baked potatoes, steamed carrots,
a huge veggie tray, and a green salad.

I was pretty good during dinner, but finally succumbed to temptation when the dessert came out.
I had a couple pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and a sugar cookie.
SOOO delicious. and worth it.

My mom and I did a 10.6 mile run that morning... it all evens out...

now for the pictures!!
I'm an Angel (duh!) & Diz is a devil. gotta love the fuzzy devil horns.

Diz was taking pictures, so I of course bust out the ugly, awkward face.

I'm trying to be a photographer... ha.
I love LOVE love taking pictures of Jack.
he moves SO fast, so I was happy when I got a couple decent pics.

had so much fun playing with the purple halloween lights.
and NOT using my flash.

sock monkey.
do you see that face? he's ADORABLE.
and had 2 costumes.
he was also Mickey Mouse.

Chase was a Ute fan. :)
he picked the right team!

Tessa was a mermaid! and was sparkly like me!
between the 2 of us we had glitter EVERYWHERE!

I normally don't get too excited about dressing up at work, but this year,
my costume was pretty low maintenance.


I can imagine our patients confusion when they walked in and saw my Mom and I.
Angel & Devil at the front desk. :)

my angelic face and my mom's 'devil' face. lol.
we're so weird... honestly.

After work I headed to Viking CrossFit
for the "HELL"-o-ween WOD.

100 burpees
&
100 Pull-ups (or Ring Rows for me)

OMG.
first time EVER doing a burpee... and I go on the day when we're doing 100?!
go big or go home, right?

I felt like a bad-ass when we were done. :)
an extremely sweaty, hot-mess, bad-ass.

I hurried home, changed out of my sweaty clothes and Diz and I went to Josh's house for chicken noodle soup and caramel apple cheesecake bars.
We watched "Hide & Seek" and passed out candy to trick-or-treaters.
Those caramel apple cheesecake bars were DIVINE.
best dessert ever.
I was accountable and looked up the recipe today and figured out the WW points for the serving I had.
Let's just say I should have had a smaller serving.
HOLY shiz.
I had 1/12th of the pan (9x13)
which in hindsight... was TOO much.
but it was REALLY good.

wanna know how many points my serving was?
ugh...
starts with a "7" and ends in a "teen"
yup. 17 points.
for reference- I get 29 points in a day.

oh well. I tracked it. and in all honesty, I'd eat it again.
(just in a smaller serving)


How was your Halloween?
Any fun parties? Any great food/recipes I need to know about?!
