HAPPY HALLOWEEN

THE TRADITIONAL PUMPKIN CARVING NIGHT (below) we invited a bunch of friends out for Family Night to enjoy some hot cocoa and to make a mess with pumpkin guts. We really had a great time with friends and letting the kids cut loose at the playground. It was quite chilly that night, but we had a great time!

ME, MICHELLE,and JODI with a MASTERPIECE pumpkin (Strong work you guys)



I will soon upload some of our pictures from the HALLOWEEN festivities, but for now here are some from my friends' cameras-- THANKS GUYS)


So I usually like to dress up as a group, everyone in the family has a 'theme' or at least we all sort of look like we belong together. I had several ideas for our costumes: THE INCREDIBLES.. Ben of course wanted us to be a PIRATE FAMILY... etc. Well as I was shopping at THRIFT TOWN (it's amazing) we found this WINNER Of a DRESS and I just had to buy it (You can't beat a $3 dress) Well, seeing how this is an election year and probably the only time this sort of costume would work, We WENT POLITICAL!


A VOTE FOR US IS A VOTE FOR AMERICA!


So my "sash" says "PALIN 4 PRESIDENT". Everyone got a big kick out of it. I did have someone say "On the back of your sash it should say loser".... whatever! It's Halloween and it's all in good fun.
Me and a giant crayon, we are best friends. So Those boots were killin' me by the end of the night, I finally took them off and was walking barefoot. It was not bad, but not good either. NOTE TO SELF: Buy Dr. Scholl's comfort pads for boots.
The boys' costumes went along a PETER PAN THEME.... but we'll get that later :) WE HOPE everyone had an awesome HALLOWEEN, we know we did :)
