Shhhhh

Shhhhh! We are all taking a family nap. That's right, a family nap - the entire crew lays down and the house is as close to quiet as it gets during the day...all bodies are asleep. After last night's party, you too would be sleeping if you were a member of my crew. Whew! We had a great time!

First, we had a big ole' Halloween shin dig in our cul-de-sac and the entire neighborhood joined in. We had chili and Corey grilled out tons of hot dogs in addition to loads of other yummy food items. (I know, this is probably making your mouth water!) Our good friends Amanda, Cody, and Luke also came to join in the fun. After eating way too much we headed out to get our share of the candy in the hood. The group did pretty well. The younger boys were a little slower in the execution so there were two distinct trick or treating groups, but everyone was pleased with their earnings...especially Mom and Dad! For those people who think all of that candy goes to kids, you must be crazy! I have been on a sugar high for about a week now - thank you Costco and trick or treating efforts. Below is a picture of the boys before trick or treating - Luke is Curious George on the right:

You will note the precious costumes that were sported by my boys. Logan wanted to be a Transformer. He decided he wanted to be the "blue one" then later figured out that the blue one's name was "Optimus Prime." Brody was lucky enough to wear a costume that Corey also wore when he was two or three. That cutie little cowboy costume has been worn by two of my boys - about 29 years apart. Thank goodness Corey's mom kept that leather get-up for us to wear just a few years later :)
