Halloween



Jillian the Ballerina (many thanks to Chira!)...



Rhino as Obi Wan Kenobi (surprise, surprise--I think that kid lives and breathes Star Wars)...



And Alex, as Peter from the Chronicles of Narnia (his school requires the kids to dress as literary characters)...




Well, here are the obligatory Halloween photos. We had a really nice time with good weather, good food, and good friends. The corner by the Atkins, Christiansens and Householders was blocked off and the kids were able to play. Everybody brought yummy food for our potluck and Josh and I made doughnuts again. Believe it or not, I was actually able to offer a cop a doughnut and not get arrested. A couple of Pinal county sheriff's deputies stopped by to make sure we weren't making a lot of trouble. I walked up with a plate of fresh doughnuts and asked, "Is it really wrong to offer a cop a doughnut?" No takers. As soon as they saw the casseroles and that there was no beer, they let us be.
I thought Ryan's white vampire pumkin was pretty good, but I think it is eclipsed by my brother Greg's pumpkin "Ralph." Kudos to Greg for the best Jack since Doug's Bill Cllinton pumpkin a few years ago.
Happy Halloween!

Your kids looked so cute in their costumes! I was at my parent's house last night and Camie was watching the video of when she was a baby and I saw you and Mike on there. You were so nice to visit my Mom and you gave Camie the cutest dress. Memories....you're right about the costume. The last time I dressed like that was at Monster Mash-at least I think that was the dance.

Love the photos. Isn't it funny how once you start down the "pink" road you just can't stop? I have an entire load of pink laundry every week.
