Halloween 2011

Clark Kent, Obi Wan Kenobi and a Storm Trooper

Those are the costumes the boys sported around our house this Halloween. Well, except Austin. I had to bride him to wear this Clark Kent get-up. It's sad, this young generation doesn't even know who Clark Kent is! I asked Austin to humor me this year and wear this costume to the nursing home we Trick -or-Treat. Sure enough, those guys got it. As promised, he came home and changed into his "scary ghost" costume for the rest of the evening.

This year my parents came down to enjoy the holiday with the kids. They were here for 5 days, the longest period I think we have ever had them stay. The visit was really fun! My Mom and I watched old movies like we used to, while the guys watched football. We of course had Grandpa's famous tacos, because it wouldn't be a proper visit if we didn't. Grandma & Grandpa were able to see both of the boys play in their soccer games and attend Cameron's end of the season party. On Halloween, we attended the Trunk-or-Treat in the church parking lot and then Spencer and I were able to take the kids around the neighborhood while my parents manned our door. We were, yet again, extremely fortunate to get dry weather. Super cold, but dry!! I am very thankful for the effort my parents took to come down and enjoy this holiday with us. We sure had fun!
