Carving Pumpkins - Halloween 2010

At The Ballet

Tom and I had our date night at the ballet.  This was the last performance to ever be seen on the stage at the Capitol Theater in Davenport, we were honored to attend.  The ballet was based on a book which was written by Tom's boss at work, Mike Romke.

Steve and Tobi Prepare For Football Game - Toga!

This week's theme for the football game was "Toga," so Tobi wanted to participate.  We went to Walmart and bought a twin bed sheet and watched YouTube videos on how to make a sheet into a toga.  After many times practicing, we figured it out!  This is the boys just before they left for the game!  It was going to be cold at the game, so Tobi decided to wear warm clothes under the toga, it was still stylish!

Tobi went to the game with Kaitlyn, and they found me during to get a picture of them together!  

Football Game - Blackout

This week's theme for the football game is "Blackout," so the boys bought some black face paint in the Halloween section at Walmart and got creative.  Max came over to help get ready, and this picture was taken just before they left for the game!

Football Game - Whiteout

This week's theme is "Whiteout," which was a little more difficult to pull off than we had expected.  After a trip to the mall, Steve purchased some white skinny jeans.  Tobi bought some white shorts and used a white shirt he already had.  Luckily, the boys already had white rimmed sunglasses!  Here's Steve, Tobi, and Max just before they left for the game.

Tobi's First Taste of Whitey's Ice Cream

We went to Moline to visit my parents so Tobi can get to know them, and my Dad suggested taking the kids to Whitey's Ice Cream.  I thought this was a great idea since it's a Quad Cities staple, and sort of a tradition.  This picture was taking inside Whitey's with my Dad just after Tobi tasted the treat for the first time!

Football Game - Rock & Roll

Since this week's theme at the football game was Rock and Roll, I had to do some preparation for Tobi to have what he needed.  I went to Dollar General and found a Halloween wig and the bandana, then I went to Walmart and found this t-shirt for only a few dollars on clearance!  We used black face paint to make black lips and my eyeliner, which didn't want to wash off very well afterwards!
