Boo!

Spoooooooooky!

Friday was a big day for little ghosts and goblins (and dentists) everywhere.

I don't guess I even have to tell you how exited Ben was.

For those of you that don't know, Ben was a bunch of grapes.  There was a lot of relief with that decision b/c Wade and I have been scratching our heads for months trying to figure out how we were going to make a wearable lightbulb!  

Ben has always been VERY creative in his Halloween costume ideas......

When he originally told us that he wanted to be a lightbulb, we were not at all surprised.  I don't know what changed his mind...don't care either!  All I know is a trip or two to Hobby Lobby for safety pins, purple balloons and some fake vines and leaves and we had all the ingredients to craft our own couture fruit.  No "off the rack" costumes for this family!!  One or two fainting spells later, the balloons were all blown up and he and his daddy were ready to pound the pavement!!  

I stayed home to catch my breath and hand out the candy (and when I say "hand out" I mean eat as many Twix from the candy bowl as I possibly could before falling into a sugar coma).

Where is baby Oliver during all of this?  

I got Ollie some glow-in-the-dark skeleton jammies that I thought were so cute!

BTW, very freaky to walk in your baby's room at night and find a glowing skeleton in the crib.  Very Freaky.  

ANYWAY, I thought, "Perfect, PJ's AND a costume!  Way to be economical!"  It was going to be a nice night, not too chilly, so we thought we might bundle Mr. Bones up and let him haunt the neighborhood w/ B. Bro.  

Unfortunately, 7:30 is just too late for this little guy.  He just couldn't make it.

Wade and Ben made the rounds, collected their treats w/o any serious tricks and came home.  Nothing left to do but load up on sugar and go to bed.

Ben had a GREAT time!

I'll let him tell all about his adventures this weekend on his blog.  Those things are so much better from a kid's point of view!!  

 

But wait, there's so much more to talk about!!!!

I would like to direct your eyes to line 7 below!!!

Hit 'em Wreck 'em Texas Tech!!!!  I think it was THE BEST game that I have ever seen.  

AND, Check this out!!!!  

There's not much to hear, but you can pause the music player on the bottom if you want.

Finally, since Oliver is so big and crawling now, we thought it was about time that we discuss his future.  He has decided he would like to be a plumber.  

Have a good week!
