Trick or Treat!

Our Halloween started out with a costume party---so much fun! Steve and I were (if you can't tell from the pic) Juno and Bleeker. We had so much fun getting our costumes together...we were pretty excited how they turned out!

And now...for the moment you've been waiting for--- how I ended up pulling off the

Holy Ghost costume.

Ta Da!! I think it's hilarious...hopefully not too sacrilege!

Ollie was pleased as punch with it, which was a huge relief for me because he has such strong opinions (wanting to be the Holy Ghost in the first place, for instance).

Buzz? Buzz Lightyear? Is that you??

I said that to him when he put on his "costoon" and he said

"Don't say that! I Hudson Rex S_____!"

Hands down---the best Buzz we've ever seen. His wings were electronic complete with Buzz phrases at the push of a button.We even drew Buzz' swirly "beard" on his chin and he thought that was the coolest. To infinity and beyond!!

These pics are a little out of order (Blogger is so frustrating sometimes!!) but I wanted to show my two fave costumes from our costume party. They were "Octo-Mom" and Fat Man. Look closely at his power belt...it's hilarious! So creative.

We also had a spooky treat contest so Steve and I made these yummy eyeball sugar cookies. They were lots of fun to do!

Huddie had a little Halloween parade and program at his school. They sang some Halloween songs and then acted out the book "Where The Wild Things Are." It was so cute!

He's singing "The Ghost of John". I didn't know what to expect since he never will tell me what he does at school but I was pleasantly surprised! He knew all the actions and words to the songs!

And now I thought I'd let you all in on a few tidbits about the Holy Ghost that you might not know.

First of all, he's reverent (but you already knew that).

But beware...he can be scary sometimes!

And when he's with his best friend Buzz, he can get down right crazy!

He's also very angelic

and has a great sense of humor!

And did you know he can fly?

It helps that his best friend Buzz knows how to fly too. That way they can fight evil together at the speed of light!

Halloween night was spent having a yummy chili dinner at Grammy's friend's house and then trick or treating in her neighborhood. After that we went to our neighborhood to go to a haunted house that our neighbor put on. It was sooo creepy! Then we went to some clients and good friends of mine in my parent's neighborhood to trick or treat and finally ended up at Mimi and Pop-C's house for the annual scones and homemade root beer. It was tons of fun and the kids had so much energy from all the sugar! (They insisted on eating almost every piece of candy as soon as they got it. They were so slow trick-or-treating because they spent all their time trying to unwrap and devour their candy in between every house!)

Happy Halloween to the two cutest boys I know!
