We are 4 women bound by blood, 3 sisters and their mother. Our goal is to help each other become the best we can be. Helping each other we can improve our intelligence, image, health, wealth, talents and abilities. We are each magical and powerful when we stand alone, but we are amazingly powerful when we stand together, and the results are out of this world. We talk about our natural hair, our weight, fashion, food, parties and living well. We make the ultimate Mother Daughter Team.
Halloween for some is sexy. Others go for a good scare and/or gore. While others go for cute and/or fantasy. In our family we want is all. We love fantasy and scary mixed in with cute and sexy. Our decorations are a mix of Disney meets Walking Dead. Our costumes play with innocence and sex appeal. Halloween is the night to have it all. Beauty and horror make a great couple.
Last year we skipped Halloween all together. We were in mourning losing both my husband and my uncle within eight months of each other. This year we are getting back in the saddle we are putting up the old decorations with the new. We decided to give our Halloween party which we call our "Witches Brew" a Masquerade New Orleans Rio theme. With all our planning we have been overwhelmed by work so we are running a little behind. I know to many people we have all our decorations up but they have no clue how much more we have to do!
I have planned 3 costume changes for the (My Royal Family 4) but I have only ordered 2 dresses and a mask for each woman so far. In other words I know what we are wearing when we open and I know what we are wearing when we close but the middle I have know idea. Mom and Faith have kind of picked their second costume change but I am really in trouble I have no idea what to do for myself and Joy. I did have an idea for my own costume but that was before I added the 2 group costume changes. They are sort of similar to my original idea so... I am hesitant to stick with my individual costume idea.
Mom and Faith planned the entertainment. Jazz band in the front and DJ in the back. I added karaoke as one of the contest. It will replace the random talent contest we once had. So we are doing costume, dance and karaoke contest this Saturday. Since our Halloween party is called "The Witches Brew" we will be having stews and chili and I guess I am making maggot pie. It seems like we have it all together but we don't. The next 5 days are going to be a production for sure. We may even need a new photographer and that is going to be hard with only 5 days until Halloween. This is only a taste of what we have coming. I will be adding pics all week and I will post a blog about the finished product in November. Check out my first Halloween post (this is the 11th annual Witches Brew but I did not blog about my life back then) here Happy Halloween: You Are What You Eat. You can also check out last months party here Birthday Birthday And Again Birthday Part Deux Or Our September. Below I am showing only 10% of what we have going on.
Last year we spent the September Birthdays in North Carolina. It was beautiful and sad because not only was it their (Glenda. Joy and Faith's) first birthdays without my husband but our Uncle Pookie passed away just a month before in August. It was a beautiful and fun birthday but it was not a party. It was simply the 4 of My Royal Family 4 healing. The title of this blog is a play off of a 2013 posting (Bryan was still with us) Birthday Birthday And Again Birthday and if you read both postings you will see how far we have come. This years party celebrations are closer to the real us but not really. We are trying our best to live the dream and we do this as a family by celebrating each other.
This year we had a dinner party for Mom (Virgo). We went to Churchill Downs night racing on Faith's (Libra) actual birthday and had a party to end all parties for Faith and our cousin Shawn two days later. We had a brunch and a dinner for Joy's (Libra) birthday while we worked and partied with the Idea Festival! My diet went to hell on the 26th of September! I almost want to name this posting Our September because it was busy, fun and full of great food. This September was the September of the 90's Party, food trucks, parties, great ideas, BILLIONAIRES (although I will not point out who they are), night racing at Churchill Downs, Cincinnati Bengals Pro Football players and just plain living!
Faith's 90's Birthday Party
Sit back and relax. I am posting pretty pictures and fun videos and maybe just maybe you will get an idea or two. This is more than just about parties, birthdays and celebrations. It is about food, love and life. It is about doing what feels right, like having a food truck! YES, we had a food truck at Faith's 90's birthday party and it was amazing! It cut down on clean up and the food was so good!
