Halloween 2009 turned out to be a fun one.
The week before Halloween a group of ladies decided to throw a party for our older kids. Taylor was excited! This was her first boy/girl party. We had a great time plan
ning it and a lot of work went into the party. It was at a friends house and they made their garage into a disco with strobe lights and fog. They really went all out. I didn't even know there were that many decorations for Halloween! Anyway, the kids had a blast over 90 6th, 7th and 8th grade kids came. As hosts we all decided to dress alike and the chosen theme was...white trash. Well, that came all too easy for Paul and I. Paul threw on a mullet and we were ready to go. We had a great time getting into character and the sad part was that most of it came from our very own closets! I think the adults had way more fun than the kids! By the way it is way more fun to dance with a big but!
The boys had a great time in costume this year. They decided to go as Napoleon Dynamite characters. It was HILARIOUS! The whole night we would just stop and laugh. Barret was Napoleon and one of his best friends, Caden, was Pedro (with brown make-up and everything). Ol' Wyatt pulled it together with being the squirrely brother, Kip. He chose this costume and there was no changing his mind! (He is obsessed with facial hair.) They took some great pictures! The funniest part was when they went trick or treating. The old people would ask what Caden was and he would answer, "Pedro" they had no idea who that was so they thought he was dressed as a Mexican kid. Their faces were so confused. I don't know how they will ever top this year's costumes. Taylor, being 11, still thought it was okay to trick or treat so she went as a punk star (in picture above with pink hair). We tease she chose this because it is really how she would like to dress. All in all, it was a great Halloween season with lots of fun memories.

I love those pictures. Hilarious I don't even recognize Caden. Hopefully this entry will not be a one hit wonder and you will continue! Not that I don't already know what is going on in our life, since it is usually going on in mine as well.
