Halloween 2011

So, we had a few themes #1) Longhorn Possee- dad:coach, mom:fan, kelton/chase: fball players, tae:cheerleader, evan:football and 2) Star Wars- Dad: captian rex, mom: leia, kelton/chase: rvp and "yellow" storm troopers, tae: padme' and evan: "master" yoda.

Taelin did dress up as a princess for her preschool party, and she got to wear make up (the highlight of her halloween experience each year). We attended a trick or treat street in our community on Friday and after standing in line for 30 minutes awaiting its start time (so worth the wait) Jacob and I started throwing a very sleepy/grumpy Evan around like the football he was! One off throw landed mommy with a VERY bloody lip and after holding Evan about 10 minutes later (did i mention he was grumpy) he threw his head back and gave me a bloody lip on the OTHER side of my mouth, making a HUGE whopping mangled top lip from my darn braces. :( Daddy lovingly ran to get wet wipes each time, cause he told me if I wasn't going to suck the bloood off my hands, it was gross to see it all over the place. Ok, mister. So, we got candy, Evan kept trying to grab what he had been given, which meant we had to keep opening his bag, and then he'd scream until someone put in more, he'd try to find it and eat it before we got to the next stop. :) silly kid.

Monday we did a trunk or treat across the road. We were honored to have Corey and Katey with us this night (can't forget Merlin)! It was fun to listen and watch the kids be so excited about getting candy, running around with their friends and altho Chase went around 8 times to get candy (majority of it we have to swap with our second bought bundle of non-mik, non-peanut, non-egg candy). Taelin always loves getting their leftovers! :) We had only a few trick or treaters this year...but one kid at 9:35! yikes! The kids have eaten 5 pieces a day since (except Chase who doesn't do well with rules and sneaks some in the bathroom every once in a while, then feels guilty and confesses).

Overall, a great night. Just enough celebrating, but no one got grumpy...except the teething 1 yr old.

I will post pics when blogger isn't being dumb! :)
