Halloween

A few weeks ago Ian took Evan to get a Halloween costume. It was no surprise that he picked Mario - he loves to play Super Smash Brothers. Fast forward to Saturday night - our church's Trunk or Treat. Evan refuses to wear the Mario costume - luckily we have an endless supply of costumes so he decides to be Godzilla instead. Weirdly, Joshua comes as Mario. Note: Evan refused to smile for the picture because Godzilla doesn't smile.

I had bought Max a Jango Fett costume but on Saturday he decided he wanted to be a Cardinals player like his friend Case. So...we searched many Wal Marts and finally found a kids Cardinals helmet. It was fun spending some one on one time with Max. And boy does he LOVE that helmet. Which is a whole other frightning post.

There was chili and lots of games, but of course my boys brought a football and spent the first hour playing in front of the church.

I saw a few of my favorite people...including this girl:

Xander - ready to get some candy!

Kim and Joe carved the coolest pumpkins! Brian and I handed out candy and Kim took the boys around trunk or treating.


Some angry birds and happy pigs :)

After Trunk or Treat Ian and I went to a costume party at Dr. V's house. I was Edward and Ian was Bella.


Dr. V and Rufus:Let me tell you Dr. V throws one heck of a party! We had so much fun and met some really cool people.
Today was Evan's preschool Halloween celebration. His class did a little parade and sang some songs. It was so cute and I'm so glad Evan sang!

Tonight we went Trick or Treating with Kim, Brian, Joe and The W family. We usually go in the W family's neighborhood and this year they invited us to join in. Yay! We had a hard time getting Evan in the group picture.











Megan was so good with Evan. She was totally fine being the only girl amongst a bunch of crazy boys!
Buzz got tired (Evan decided to be Buzz instead of Godzilla or Mario) so Brian carried him.

I went home and got Ian. He had fun trying to scare the boys with his scarecrow mask. There were so many freaky houses - the boys loved it! Their favorite was the one with a woman dressed up in a torn wedding dress. They called her Bloody Mary. Ben said she was scary but really nice once you talked to her :)

Evan with his stash -he quit early so he didn't get as much as the other boys.

It's been a fun couple of days. Let me just say that I am so glad to see October end. It was filled with stress, un-planned for expenses (probably the most expensive month EVER) and sickness. I can't believe it's already November but good ridance October!
