Trick or Treat!!



Just wanted to share a few photos from the Halloween
night festivities. Here are the trick-or-treaters getting
ready to prowl around the town.






Braxton was defending the galaxy as Commander Fox from Star Wars.
(no, I'd never heard of him either)

Braeden's choice of costume was a tad more complicated.
He, of course, wanted to be from Star Wars, because Braxton
was being from Star Wars, and whatever Braxton does is, of course,
the absolute coolest thing on the planet. I, however,
wanted him to be four years old, so I tried to
talk him into Pablo from the Backyardigans.
After all, he ADORES the Backyardigans. Seemed logical.
What I neglected to consider was that a Pablo costume would be easy to come by, so, of course, that would NEVER do.
Instead, he wanted to be Super Why (PBS show. He has the
"Power to READ!"), because costumes for Super Why
are as scarce as positive media coverage
of McCain and Palin (like that?). I found some on Ebay
for a mere $100. No problem! S0, being the
bright girl that I am, I decided that
I would make one. HA!
Soooooo, at least $100 later, I dressed my darling
in a one-of-a-kind (thankfully) Super Why costume.
I'll be keeping my day job.




And, I will be eliminating one topic of discussion with his shrink one day. You know..."My mom always made my brother's costumes, but never mine...."
Seems like a win-win to me!

We went to dinner with friends, then to
Centenary Avenue (Treat Street), as is our yearly tradition,
and finally to the Cleveland/Walker Valley game.
We won't even discuss the outcome of THAT game.
Ok, maybe we will...
Suffice to say, Cleveland went from #1 in the Region
to #4 in one motion. Lost by one point in overtime
going for 2 after a touchdown.
Oh, well...










This is Braeden's friend Chace from church. He was Obi Wan.

Sensing a theme??? Overall, it was a very fun evening,

and now we get out the Thanksgiving decorations!!

I LOVE fall!!!
