2nd Annual Johnson Halloween Party!!!

Ian and I had our 2nd annual Halloween party and it was a blast! Thanks to all who came out to party with us, we had so much fun. I thought it would be boring for me since I'm not able to drink right now but watching everyone else having such a great time made this party awesome.

We had a variety of costumes and some pretty original costumes too, such as our friends Joel and Angie who were clever enough to come as HINI. What a great idea! Ian went as the Joker this year and Brian went as his alter eager the nurse Joker. Ian did an amazing job of getting into character and an even better job of keeping his buddies in his pants this year. Erin and Ashley came as Fred and Wilma. Wilma even remembered to make sure her carpet matched the drapes, entertaining many of our guests. Fred and Wilma went on to win our best couples costume contest. Scarlett came as Laura Croft tomb raider, winning the best individual costume. How is it all the Riggs won best costume, I think this costume contest was rigged. There were a lot a great and creative costumes.

The night started off with guests trying out the wheel of death... translation, a wheel of mysterious shots which set the tone for the rest of the night. We were able to convince several party goers to participate in sumo wrestling, paring up Ian (aka Joker) against Brian (aka Nurse Joker), Angie (aka HI) against her sister who came as a character from Beetlejuice, then Ian was able to talk Sue and her husband (aka the Romans) to battle in the sumo ring. Thanks to everyone who was brave enough to enter the ring, it was sooo funny watching the body slams. I hope nobody was too sore the next day. For those who passed on sumo wrestling there was the striper pole which is always entertaining, as well as beer pong and the beer bong.


We hope everyone had as much fun as we did. Thanks to everyone who came and we look forward to next year and hope it will be even bigger and better. Ian is already brain storming ideas for the 3rd annual Halloween Party. Hope to see you all next year!

Sleep... I miss you!

I have to admit that I have been blessed with my pregnancy, having experienced what I can only describe as the joys of pregnancy. I didn't end up with any nausea, no vomiting and the heartburn that I do experience has been very manageable. I keep hearing about the horrible leg cramps some of my fellow pregnant friends have experienced but so far so good, I haven't had to deal with that yet either.

So really I have nothing to complain about, but when you're used to being able to sleep through majority of the night (with exception to bathroom breaks) and then one night not being able to sleep at all it's a little annoying. It is so frustrating just tossing and turning and not being able to rest. Now it seems my nightly routine consists of position changes every two hours if not more and at least two bathroom breaks a night.

Exhausting!

I know all those mothers out there reading this are either laughing at me or think I'm being a whiner. Both acceptable responses. After reading some of those helpful pregnancy books I've learned that it's my body preparing me for the many sleepless night yet to come. But really I should be able to enjoy my last few months of freedom before my whole life alters forever. But like I said I've had an amazing pregnancy so if this my biggest complaint then thank goodness.
