I know Halloween is over, but this picture is so cute that I couldn't resist Are these just adorable? Owl cupcakes!

I'm really not the biggest fan of Halloween, but I wasn't gonna sit at home all night... This Halloween I wanted to be a Trauma victim... with the help of my Amazing roomies, Crystal and Amy ( mostly Crystal) it happened. We really aren't scary people. It was just for a night : ) Crystal and I were dead, Hannah was T-pain the look on crystal's face is pretty scary... despite the scariness of our costumes, we really are a happy bunch..most of the time Here are some other pics from a church Halloween party: roommate love me + t-pain hat= willy wonka I went as a catholic school teacher : ) Hope you had a great Halloween too! xoxo, v
