Halloween

Halloween lasted weeks and weeks around here instead of one day.  The girls had an amazing Halloween party they went to with 50+ youth from church. Then we had a ward, or church congregation's party which included a trunk or treat with lots of candy. T's work put on a fun shin-dig with different games, a haunted house, and lots of candy and treats.  AND then the actual day of Halloween with lots of candy. I was actually SICK of candy!  Me, the gal who hasn't met a piece of candy she didn't like.  I didn't even exact my Mom Tax on Halloween and require chocolate from all. It was plain weird!  We still have a huge bowl of candy.

Master jack-o-lantern designers. 

L wanted 'King Pig" from Angry Birds. A and B did both sides with a cat and a cute Franken-pumpkin. Xman did the "mustached bad piggy" from Angry Birds (he and L slightly like Angry Birds).

Here's the gang ready for candy. 

Xman was Lord Garmadon from Lego Ninjago. He had a bone helmet and four arms (to get more candy). L was the Green Ninja, Lloyd ZX, from Lego Ninjago. B. was Miss Smarty Pants and A. was the Greek goddess Artemis (I think, the one with a bow).  

On another note, L has been playing flag football this year. It has been o.k.  His tournament is Saturday and then he's done.  

Poor little L has a cough that won't go away. He missed school all last week. He's home again today, because he was up all night coughing (I'm NOT exaggerating either).  He's exhausted. I took him to the doctor Saturday, but she just said it was viral and would clear up eventually. The school calls to see where he is, and I feel guilty, like I'm a bad mom because I'm keeping my SICK child out of school! Anyway, I'm getting a humidifier today.
