Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year. It seems like we celebrated it all weekend...wait, that's because we did. The festivities started off on Thursday, the 28th. The boys didn't have school on Friday so the Halloween parade at their school was Thursday. They got to wear their costumes and walk through the whole school. We were in the gym and took pictures as they walked by. Harrison wore a skeleton costume and Madi was a beautiful witch.

Cameron wanted to be Elvis this year. He actually wanted to be Elvis last year but we couldn't find the type of costume he wanted. Luckily, Grandma Tisa found a white baptismal suit at DI in March and she was able to sew in panels to turn it into bell-bottoms and she added a red scarf. We got an awesome Rock n' Roll guitar iron-on (that somehow I didn't get a picture of) that we put on the back and added a few jewels to the collar. Add these sweet sunglasses, black hair gel, and painted on sideburns, and ta-da...Elvis! Thank you, thank you very much.

His good friend, Madison, dressed up as a 50's girl so they looked so cute together.

Gavin decided to be a mummy. I thought that would be an easy costume but I WAS WRONG! He started out looking pretty mummified but by the time he tried to walk in the parade, all the wrappings were falling off. He is such a good sport and told me he loved his costume anyway and that everyone thought it was great. His good friend, Jaxon, was Mario.



Owen was a vampire. He dressed up as often as possible. He honestly wore his vampire teeth for so many days in a row that they broke and we had to replace them twice!


Spencer took Friday off from work and we took the whole family to Idaho! This was the babies first road trip and they were phenomenal in the car. That evening my mom and I took the 3 big boys to the Snake River Carnival. They got to play some fun games and were rewarded with pieces of candy. After we got back from the carnival, Spencer, the twins, and I went to a Halloween party at our friends, Dan & Krissy's house. It was so nice to visit with them and the other couples who came. We stayed out until midnight while the boys stayed at Granny's. Saturday afternoon Spencer, my dad, and the 3 boys went to an ISU football game. My cousin, Dustin, is a senior on the team this year. He plays Safety and is great! They had a lot of fun watching him play. After the game, they met us at the Moreland Church where the kids hurried to get in their costumes and participate in Trunk or Treat. It was COLD but the kids got a lot of candy and were glad to be there. We went to church on Sunday, enjoyed a lovely meal with the family, and then headed back to Utah. (Somewhere in all of that, I got laryngitis and had NO voice for 2-3 days.) We were glad to have taken our first trip with the babies but it sure is a lot of work!
