Come and gone.....

Another fun year of Halloween has come and gone. The kids had figured out their Halloween costumes early on in October so we were all set for the night to begin. Emma was a good witch, Logan was Diego/Crocodile hunter/jungle explorer, Kirby was the Happy Winning Football Coach and I was the disgruntled football coaches wife who has another week or two or three left of the season.  (I am VERY happy that they won...just ready to have my husband back home on Friday nights)

Here's a few pictures......

The Kindergartners do a parade with their costumes for the rest of the school... Here's Emma walking down Daddy's hallway.


A quick photo with Daddy in his classroom.


Pumpkin time at our house!


Logan digging in.


Emma showing some seeds....

The finished products.  (sorry Tyler, I just didn't have enough energy to clean our your monster pumpkin)

Logan the Explorer!

Emma the good witch.




This picture below has a good story behind it.  The person inside this gorilla suit teaches 7th grade math at Rush City and is the nicest lady you will ever meet.  Every year she puts on this suit and sits on her front step and scares the bejesus out of the kids. 
Logan and Emma walked up to the front steps and were a little confused as to why the candy was just sitting out and didn't know if they should ring the doorbell or just take a treat....  Logan was walking around trying to figure out what to do and Paula, moved ever so slightly towards Logan and said, "boo" in the quietest whisper...........You should have seen Logan make a bee line for his Mama!  He let out a cry that I have never heard before and I think he jumped the 4 feet up straight into my arms.  
He was halfway between crying when Daddy went up to the gorilla and gave 'her' a hug as I told him that he was okay and that it was just Paula inside the costumer.  His reply was, "naughty Paula."
But, he laughed and took his treat but wanted nothing more to do with the gorilla. 
Emma was okay with getting her picture taken.
Even today Logan was still talking about 'naughty' Paula and how the monkey scared him.



It was another great year of trick or treating. We have candy coming out of our ears of course.  Kirby and I finished our Halloween with a video of MJs Thriller video (what a classic-I can remember exactly where I was when I first watched that video and how it scared the bejesus out of me!)

Hope you had a great Halloween!
