Halloween Wrap Up…

The week started off with some of the white stuff and once again, I find that I need to invest in some “boy-appropriate” hand-wear…

Such diversity in one family—the sweet witch, the nerd, the ballerina, Luigi, Paul’s mom,  Brian Wilson of the Giants , and yes, you should fear the beard…

Inside was most certainly less rainy than outside was…

Luigi and Mario in all of their trick-or-treating glory with their super-sport dads--no amount of rain could keep these fellas away from the serious candy-collecting…

The Goff girls and company “after-hours”—if one nerd is good, then a whole gaggle of them are way better…

And no Halloween retrospective could be complete without my most favorite costume of all time!!  I wanted to be Casper the Friendly Ghost so bad, and then when my dream came true—let’s just say it is still magical.  I loved being Casper, and you can certainly see why—that costume was the bomb!  My trusty little bro, Aaron, made an ideal Bugs Bunny—he likes carrots and all things nutritious.  Good times…

Things I Love…

 

There are many, many things in this world that I absolutely adore.  These little goofy boys are definitely among those things. This giant “honey bun pouf”  (from a fantastic new Amy Butler pattern) is most certainly another…

Pumpkinville + a little Football…

 

My funny boys checking out the sights, sounds, and smells of the petting zoo—everything is so much better with a Mario hat…

Cael is so ready to do a Gap ad…

Kylie is queen of the pumpkin patch—and hooray, we actually had some pumpkins grow this year…

The red ninja and super Mario are also pleased with the pumpkin bounty (now if I can just keep the croquet mallets out of their hands as they are “appreciating” the pumpkins) …

My firstborn, #70 there, in between plays and hooray again, the mighty Grizzlies were mighty victorious…

Morgan, Cael, and Kendell—all big supporters of #70 and also fans of sweatshirts (it is October after all, and the crisp and lovely fall weather has finally arrived), with the exception of Cael.  A sweatshirt becomes completely unwearable if any droplet of water from a drinking fountain comes in contact with said sweatshirt, that is part of the Cael creed. It is the Cael way.  Now a Mario hat-- that is something that can be worn in any condition…
