Its Hip to be a Square!

"Someone should take me on a date or kidnap me from work on Friday so i don't have to go to the SCREAM PARK with the teens! :( "-FB status

Its that time of the year, when scary movies are the only thing on TV, carving pumpkins is an art, playing dressing up is admired, and RIDICULOUS Haunted Houses are considered the cool thing to do! Ugh...Halloween. I admit it is a fun Holiday, but not when you have to go to Haunted Houses!! As many of you know, I am not one to be first in line for the next scary/slasher movie coming out and certainly won't be first to enter a haunted house! NO WAY! I prefer to not have nightmares!

Every year my work gets passes to the AZ Scream Park. I've gone the past 2 years. The first year I took my 11-13 yr old, they are all ten times braver than me! I had never been to a Haunted House before and I couldn't believe I actually agreed to going! Since one of the owners knew me he said he put in a good word with all the staff to make sure I had a "fun" time! I wasn't sure what he meant but haha I will never forget that year! As soon as I came into the park all the cast members would call me by name!!! In the picture above with Alice, he was the first to greet us. But to make it worse in the I went into 2 houses I went in the characters would call out my name as they popped out to us!! Horrible! haha. Luckily the next year I didn't have that happen, but I was dragged into a house where I was chased out by a guy with a chainsaw. In that year I remember hiding my face in the back of my co-worker and clinging onto them for dear life. I am such a scardy cat! I will admit it.

So tonight at work the announcement was made...this Friday, October 29th-AZ Scream Park. All eyes on me, I could feel the sickness coming! haha. I pleaded and begged, but no everyone wants to see me suffer. I don't mind so much being there, but I refuse to go into houses. No thanks! I think I deserve a excused absence for this fieldtrip. I guess we'll have to wait and see! haha.

Since Halloween is on Sunday, there won't be any trick or treating for the Yazzie family. Instead its Trunk or Treat Saturday for our Ward. I think its a fun time. I'm not sure what my sisters are doing this year to dress up, but my brother's idea is pretty crafty! I would like to post a picture of him but I guess I'll just wait till after Halloween to get one up. As for me, yet again I think I lack in Creativity for Halloween Costumes, or maybe I'm just obsessed with this Era. in 2008 I decided to go as a 80's chick. in 2009 I took that 80's chick and turned her into a "cute" Zombie, and this year I'm going Valley girl style. jean jacket and skirt the whole deal. The pictures below illustrate these words. haha. so Maybe next year I'll change era's or even do something completely different. I admit I could put a bit more effort into it but most of the time I just leave it last minute. haha. Anyways I guess I'll have more to say after this weekend!
