Monster Mash

A well posed, gallery quality, family photo.
Seriously, this is about as good as kid pics go around here. I mean, at least they are all facing the same direction.
Greg, wearing the wizard costume I made him back B.C. (before children), in our newlywed, apartment dwelling days. I love it that he still wears it.
Aubrey loved her costume. I thought it turned out pretty cool.
Look how tough Nathan is! He wanted to be addressed as "Black Beard".
Dane, one second before ripping is mask off. He was cute without it on too.
Johanna, the Gonzaga cheerleader. Over the course of the weekend she was also a skeleton and a pumpkin. She had many outfit changes because she has the ability to poop out all diapers and outfits with astonishing regularity. (KayLynn, I promise I got the poop stain out of this one!)




Happy Halloween! We went to Aubrey's school party, Greg's big work party, and did a little of our own trick or treating on Halloween night. Greg's work party is by far the best. It is an annual event where all three floors of the company decorate and all the employees' kids get to go trick or treating there for a few hours. There is a big pot luck meal and everyone enjoys it, adults included. It is a manageable crowd, a manageable amount of candy, and you're not outside freezing your patookies off. (I made up that word, patookies. It means whatever you want it to mean. In our house it usually means toes.)

Enjoy the pictures, the kids had a blast dressing up this year. Dane was going to be a ghost, I made him a ghost costume, he practiced saying, "B-B-B-B-BOOOOOO!" for weeks on end, and within two minutes of wearing his costume he ripped it off and said, "It's driving me crazy!" Thankfully we had a reserved skeleton costume from last year just waiting to be worn. He refused to wear the mask though, or the gloves. Dane has opinions. A lot of opinions.

Happy November!

So cute I can't stand it. Johanna looks just like you in that picture. You look adorable in the family pic, and I love the word patookies.

LOVE those costumes! All the kids looked great Sara! Did you make those skeleton outfits? If so, very crafty. :)

I'm glad to hear that Drew isn't the only baby that poops and pees out of tons of outfits. We've even bumped him up a size in diapers thinking that was it. The kid is already in a size 4 diaper! Thank God for OxyClean. Johanna looks adorable by the way in her cheerleading outfit. Oh, and she looks just like you.

These are great pictures! Your kids are adorable and they look so happy! Good job on managing all the costumes (and changes). You're the prettiest hippie girl, too. Your smile looks radiant! :-)
