I Fold . . .

So every Wednesday night some of our friends come over to play poker. Last night it was Alex and mine's turn to have it at our house and we still had all that candy that we bought after Halloween. In the candy there is a TON of dubble bubble. So we decided to make it a little more interesting. The rules were that whenever you lost a hand you had to chew a piece of dubble bubble and you had to keep adding a piece each time you lost. You then had to chew it until you won a hand. So you could end up with a lot of gum in your mouth. It was pretty fun and people weren't as risky with their betting.When I was looking for a picture of the dubble bubble I found out that they have a lot more flavors then just the regular bubble gum. They also have watermelon, green apple, blue razz, pink lemonade, and sour cherry. Just a little tid bit for yall.

Part of History

This is the first year that I got to vote so it was pretty much really exciting. I told Alex that we both had to get the "I Voted" stickers so that we could take pictures with them. I went and voted in the morning and Alex voted after he dropped me off at school. Then when we got home we took some pictures.

Back when the Easter candy was on sell Alex and I went and got a TON of Easter candy. So we decided to do the same with the Halloween candy. As you can see we got a LOT. We got even more then we did at Easter!

When we got home with all of our after Halloween candy we settled in with our candy and watched how the election went.

Who Dun it???

So Alex and I went to a murder mystery dinner for Halloween. Alex's brother's wife (so my sister in law???) put it on. It was a casino themed one. Alex's and mine part were the senator and the senator's wife.

I had never been to one before and it was pretty fun. At first I was just a little out of my comfort zone, but once the murder happened and my husband left me for a call girl, I was determined to frame Alex for the murder.

At the end of the night when the murderer was revealed both Alex and I were wrong, I wasn't too good at framing at Alex. A lot of people had a lot of crazy costumes. There was everybody from Elvis to Donald "Ronald" Trump. It was a very fun night!
