Happy Halloween!

 Bartlett Costume Parade

Bella opted to wear her monkey costume 

from 2 years ago.

{Notice how the "feet" are mid-calf.}

I don't know this girl but 2 snaps for creative costume!!  

 Mr. Lee as a pirate...ARGH!

 It's actually pieces from George's costume.  More on that later.

Our car all dressed up for the Trunk or Treat.

Was especially proud of the eyes...

{George, Saniah, Bella}

George refused to wear his pirate costume and instead opted for his Halloween PJs which fittingly said 

"Official Candy Inspector" so kind-of a costume. 

My fabulous Spider Head.  I feel like the car was enough dress up for me.

How yoooooou dooooin?

 

{so hard to get a normal pic from this boy}

Actual Halloween, George still refusing to be a pirate, and Bella recognizing that the monkey was just too small.  

Logical back up plan: angel.

I'm Back Bi***es! {my trip to SC}

Went to Charleston, SC all by myself.  You might be saying, "Big deal!  I go places by myself all the time!"

Well I do not.

I get about 3.5 hours a week to myself.

Hence, BIG DEAL!

I now present to you a pictorial tour of my trip:

 Viv's Cute House

{Left side}
Actually that is a lie.  These are the cute houses across from Viv's cute house.  But really hers looks just like it.

 Everyone has screened in porches...glad I didn't experience the things these screens keep out...

 Historical outdoor market thingy...

 Me and Viv @ the historical market thingy.

 Fried Green Tomato Sandwich! 

{how southern is that??}

 Viv had Shrimp & Grits.  After tasting the grits I proceeded to have them at the next 5 meals.

Charleston has so much gorgeous architecture  

 See?

 This is at the Battery where the Civil War started.

 Love the water...

 Statue that proves the start of the Civil War.
{Not sure of the symbolic nature of the naked guy.}

 The house of the Dude that owns the Piggly Wiggly.

 He has stone pigs instead of bad-arse lions.

{sorry it's sideways}

 Super cool bridge.

 Best grits I seriously ever had in my LIFE!  At the
Home Team BBQ on Sullivan's Island.  

This is a super cool plantation that has no electricity or bathrooms.  It's called Dayton Hall I think.  And the tour guide was kind of possessive of it...

Honestly I fell in love with Charleston.  Can totally see why it is a hot-spot for destination weddings...
