Happy Halloween!

How was your Halloween? Ours felt like it lasted forever (4 days in a row of dressing up), but we had great fun!  Yeah for the fall holidays!

This year I let Mike convince me to for-go a theme and opt for easy. Although is was AWESOMELY stress free, I was a bit sad we weren't all in costume!  I told Mike next time we have a baby at Halloween we are going as BYU football people--the baby will be a football, Katelyn can be cosmo, Mike can be the coach, I'll be a fan, the boys can be the players. So cute! :)

However, this year we raided my cousin's Halloween stash and had a great time.  Ben did participate, but we didn't get any pictures of him...perhaps this week I'll dress him up and snap a few! :)  Poor 4th child...so neglected~!

Katelyn was a cat--specifically Marie from Aristocats.  Everybody thought she was a lamb...I can see the confusion.  Oh well!

Josh was Batman, and probably the most excited about his costume. What a great batman he was!

And Luke was a red power ranger. The kids are really into power rangers these days, and they are just as poorly done as they were when I was a kid! Only now there are more of them!!

Ben was a football. I used a different kind of vinyl for his costume, and I didn't really love it--going back to my tried and true supplies!

We visited with Aunt Ev (Mike's Aunt, who spoils the kids rotten), we attended our ward Halloween party (always awesomely attended and one of the funnest of the year!), we sent the kids to my parents ward party (while Mike and I went to a parenting class we have been taking) and then we enjoyed Halloween with our good friends and trick or treated in their neighborhood. 

All in all, it was a great holiday! 

And, for kicks and giggles, my mom dug up some old pictures of ME on Halloween!  What a hoot!

Bring on Thanksgiving! :)
