“Maybe I can get somebody else to watch my sheep tonight ..remember I’m only a couple of “blocks” away – Bo Peep (toy story) [grinning and squinting emoji] [face throwing a kiss emoji] #woody #bopeep,” wrote Cortese. 

Buckner responded to his wife’s Instagram post by leaving two red heart emoji in the comments section. 


Mike Sorrentino Shared His Family’s Halloween Costumes on His Podcast

Deena Cortese is not the only “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” cast member who is dressing as a Pixar character for Halloween. During an October episode of Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s podcast, “Here’s the Sitch with Mike & Laurens,” co-hosted by his wife Lauren Sorrentino, he shared that they were excited to celebrate the upcoming holidays with their 5-month-old son Romeo. Lauren revealed that they plan to dress as the Parr family from the 2004 animated film “The Incredibles.”

“Little Romeo is being Jack Jack, which I think he will be an amazing Jack Jack,” said Mike. 

During the podcast episode, Lauren discussed celebrating Halloween when she was younger. 

 “Growing up Halloween was cold, like growing up I remember being in Halloween outfits and it being cold. Like you’d wanna put a sweatshirt over your outfit. It was always the struggle of do you put the sweatshirt under your costume, over your costume like as a kid it was like a hot mess because it was always rainy and cold,” shared the 36-year-old. 

Mike then shared that he is “not the biggest Halloween guy.” Lauren also noted that she is not overly fond of the spooky holiday, but she “like[s] the fall aesthetic.”
