Halloween 2010

Here are few pictures taken before and during our church Halloween party. We are lucky to celebrate this holiday with cousins. There were a few unable to make it this year but the kids who were able to make it had a great time.
Last year at our church Halloween party I won a costume award dressed as "Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas with Dean (age 2 then) dressed as my sidekick Jack Skellington." This year I won another award dressed in a Peacock costume I made. The prize I won was titled "Most Beautiful Costume". I won a creepy finger candle.
Our "Ice Princess" decided to be painted a puppy dog during the Halloween party.

Who let this guy out? Funny story about this costume. There was a police officer parked near our car yesterday while we were waiting for our pizza to be ready. Wells, the Halloween enthusiast, was wearing his "convict" costume a few days early. I told Maren and Wells to check if the pizza was ready. They were stepping out of the car and Maren turns and says "Mom, I'm so worried the police officer is going to think Wells is a bad guy and take him away!"

Sid In The Whales Jaw

I had the opportunity to chaperone Sidney's Outdoor Education fieldtrip. It was 4 days and 3 nights. I couldn't have done it without the amazing support group I have in my friends and family. Outdoor ed was great!

Crazy Day

Two days ago . . . Jon missed his airplane flight . . . got a speeding ticket in a construction zone . . . Dean cracked his chin open . . . Maren, Dean and I spent time in urgent care . . . Wells caused our bathroom toilet to overflow . . . neighbor was recruited to help turn off water . . . almost every towel in our house was needed to soak up the mess. It was a crazy day.
