Happy Halloween!

Technically it is the day before Halloween, but it is Saturday and we decided to go out tonight instead of Sunday for trick-or-treating. (As did most of the neighborhood.)  It was cold and rainy and the perfect night for football.  Greg took the kids out in the pouring rain and let me stay home and watch the U of U / Air Force football game.  Yes he is that wonderful!!!

Because it was so cold and rainy we convinced them to wear warm clothes, coats and the capes I had made a few years ago.  I will post pictures soon.

We carved pumpkins today and the boys had a good time.  They come up with their own ideas and Noah is not afraid to dive in and scoop some guts.

I decided to keep mine for a fall decoration, but I got to help Nicholas with his spider.

We made homemade pizza for dinner and then bundled everyone up to head out for trick-or-treating.

Yesterday for their school parties, Nicholas and Nathan went as lacrosse players that got beat up.  Nicholas had makeup that looked like a big black eye and a broken nose, with stitches.  Nathan had a broken nose and stitches and various bruises.  We were running late so I didn't get pictures of them.  They did look pretty good.  Unfortunately it wasn't that much of a stretch.  They come home with all kinds of bruises after every game and most practices.

I did however get a picture of Noah.  After an hour of changing his mind and trying on all the costumes we own (and there are a lot!).  He decided he wanted to be a Zombie.  So we made up his face and he was happy.  He did inform me that he just wasn't scary enough and needed more blood and a brain to eat.  I told him he would scare the other kindergartners - to which he replied, "Yah mom, that's the point!"  He is really only 6????

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
