2. Halloween was stretched out this year at our house...Trunk-Or-Treat on the 22nd...7/8th grade dance on the 28th...school parties on the 29th...and trick-or-treating on the 31st! Jeff & Alec won "Best Costume" at the ward Trunk-Or-Treat. They were both Elvis and Jeff had karaoke set-up in the back of our suburban. Nothing is ever given a "half-effort" from him!
(Riley didn't dress-up, but kept Jeff & Scott company through the neighborhood.)3. "Bumblebee" the Transformer!
4. Another bumblebee. She won "Best Group Costume" at the ward party with 2 of her peeps that were also dressed as bees.
5. There are only a few people in this world that can pull-off an Elvis costume. Two of those people live under my roof.
6. Leslie & I made Alyssa's "Pebbles" costume. We couldn't stop laughing because it was basically a tube that we had to keep making bigger to fit over her belly & diaper-bum!
7. We carved pumpkins after church on Sunday. Each year, the kids design theirs on a piece of paper and then Jeff gets to work. This was the first year that Ian wanted a scary, instead of happy jack-o-lantern.
8. Breakfast the day before Halloween...thank you "Williams-Sonoma"!
9. We had our family pictures taken yesterday by our good friend & photographer Danielle Blazic. The kids had school off for election day, so we met at Mill Race Historical Park in Northville at 8:30 am!! We were fuh-reezing (30 degrees and no coats) but it was totally worth it. I can't wait to see the pics. I kept thinking of Mel & her family baking in their sweaters and 100 degree weather for their photo shoot in AZ. What a difference a few thousand miles makes!
10. With the day off, Hannah & Alec wanted to go to the roller skating rink for "Open Skate". I had major flashbacks of my mom dropping me off at "The World of Wheels" in Ann Arbor with my friends. They had so much fun...and I got a few hours to myself! Hannah told me that Alec won the "Screaming Contest" and got a free pop...what happened to "Crack the Whip" and "Couple's Skate?
11. I can't forget to share that Riley had a solo in her choir concert last week. She sang a verse of "Somebody to Love" by Queen. She has more guts than me, for sure!
