Halloween

I guess I better get these Halloween photos up
before Thanksgiving gets here.

Our girls got some killer deals
at K-mart on their costumes.
Sometimes it pays to be late.
50% off plus another 20% off coupon.
Then I got another discount on Abigail's
because we had to sew a strap on.
I told the girls that we would only spend $5 on each of them.
They gladly subsidized with their own money
so they didn't have to make their own costumes.
I think we spent a total combined of $30.

I can't say that I was disappointed
since making our own costumes
would require my help.

I was going to dress Caroline up
as Shirley Temple
but she barely cooperated
for wings,
so what would have been the point?

Have I told you how much of a handful this kid is?

I wonder where she gets it from?
We dumped Caroline back at home with dad
after knocking on the condos
close to home.


Here are the girls out about in the neighborhood
with our two friends Natassja and India.
It seems we should live somewhere more exotic
than Utah
when we have friends with names like that.


I just loved this shot with the pumpkin.
Notice that we use pillowcases
for carrying Halloween candy.
It's what my mom used to make us do
when we were kids
and the tradition has stuck.

Best costume of the evening.
Obama and his Secret Service agents.
These boys are awesome.
My girls enjoyed following them around the neighborhood
on our perfect weathered evening.


I enjoyed taunting Obama at every door
that us Utahns only give our candy to Republicans
who work for their own stuff.
I'm silly like that.

Cute costumes.

I am weary of republican talk. This country is suffering... and it isn't because of President Obama.

Alice, you probably don't remember me, but your mother is my dearest friend on earth. Reading your blog reminds me so much of her and the really funny times we used to have together. You have an incredible Mom and it sounds like you are following in her footsteps. Keep up the good work!
