100% White Trash

Friday we had a Halloween White Trash Party. I have always wanted to throw a white trash party, just never did. So, finally Eric and I decided that we would throw one, and I am so glad we did. It was fun setting up for the party. Eric and I hung Christmas lights around the garage and on our patio. Sparkly 5ft. paper skeletons hung on each side of the garage. Spider webs were strung everywhere with cheap black plastic spider rings. Streamers were hung everywhere, and we had an old TV sitting on top of 2 cinder blocks. Pop cans were randomly thrown on the floor. As we were decorating I was telling Eric that the way we are decorating has probably confirmed that we really are white trash. I swear I only see my neighbors when I am in pajama pants, oversized t-shirt, no bra, and nappy hair.

Here's part of the group. I didn't even think about taking a group picture until a few of the couples left. Oops.


What better way to kick off a white trash party then having Joe Dirt playing? As friends arrived we showed Joe Dirt while we finished cooking our gourmet meal. We had a feast of corn dogs, pizza rolls, and burritos from the frozen section cut up with toothpicks sticking out of them. We also had Doritos, Twinkies, Ding Dongs, licorice, and IBC Root Beer.

Eric got out his fancy pellet gun and the boys started target shooting. My sweet husband took the box that had all of my greeting cards that were filed and organized, and used it to hold the targets and catch the pellets. I can no longer use that box. Thanks hun! Dallas brought candy cigs and was kind enough to share his smokes.

Is this not a typical white trash picture? 8 month pregnant lady with a gun and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.

This is my sister Kristianne. Our parents would be so proud.

We had old school music playing and did some break dancing. At first only a couple people had the courage to make fool of themselves and attempt break dancing. So to loosen everybody up we did the Macarena. There was a guy across from our garage reading on his patio and he witnessed everything. I could only imagine what he was thinking. I am sure Eric and I will now be known as the freaks of Bala Desertscapes Apts. After shaking it to the Macarena people loosened up and we made a circle and everyone took a turn bustin’ a move.

Dallas was the only one that could really break dance. He was our winner for the break dancing contest. He won a box of gummy Frankenstein brains.

Dallas showed us how to do a

break dance move, and some of

the guys tried it. This is Cameron

putting his moves to the test.

Jami knows how to get down!

Since we were all pumped up we went upstairs and sang karaoke. We rocked the house!

Jose playing the air guitar. Jose also won the best white trash costume award.

I was sooo surprised when Eric took the microphone and said he'd sing a song. The man doesn't even sing in church! I gotta hand it to him, he did pretty dang awesome!

I sang Lady in Red. It was very moving.

Bethany and I sang a duet to Air Supply’s Making Love out of Nothing at all. I thought I knew most of the words, luckily Bethany saved us not only by knowing the words but with her voice.

Towards half way through the songs I was the back up singer/interpreter dancer.

We had a spitting contest using gum, and ended the night with bashing in a piñata that I had made. It was a tough one to break. I made sure of it.
