Happy Halloween!

Halloween began the Friday prior for us this year with a break from the traditional TRUNK or TREAT.  Our ward threw an indoor dinner with fun festivities this year.  Primary did a cupcake walk, there was cosmic bowling, cool decor, and lots of candy for the kids to trick or treat from room to room. I could not convince the boys to do a family theme this year :( :( :(, so last minute Ruby, Ben & I pulled a little something together: Football Player Mama, Ruby the Cheerleader & Coach Ditka Daddy. Grandma made K's Donkey Kong suit while we were in Oregon, and I finished off the look with bicep muscles, tie, and face paint.  He loved the face paint!  D insisted on being Spider man... again. Ruby wanted nothing to do with her poofy, girly, beautiful fairy costume, so we went with plan B. At least it was a little girly, which was my only requirement this year. I have a feeling I will have no say next year at all.

 This is typical Ruby...always trying to do whatever the boys are doing.

Ben + Mustache = Halloween Happiness...he can't resist!

 Check out that candy filled smile!

Halloween we had friends over for chili and cornbread, then hung out in the driveway to pass out candy.  Ben & Brody took the kids trick or treating, while us girls & Tito chatted & handed out the goods. Ben reported that Ruby said thank you every single time without being reminded, better than the boys!  It was a fun-filled, food-filled night with fun friends, to say the least.  It's two days later when I'm posting & we're still recovering!
