Halloween 2015

Halloween pictures were a bit erratic this year. Lily dressed up three separate times (twice as a mermaid and once as a cowgirl), but I never got a single picture of her. I'm sad about that, because she really looked good those days.

Here are the rest of us:

 Eve dressed as a BYU cheerleader for school but changed her mind for Halloween. She donned the dress Brad brought her from India.

 Hyrum had only one wish: to be the villain from the new Star Wars. Didn't know he swung on a swing, did you?

 Using the Force to squeeze me from a distance.

 And the cool new lightsaber, of course!

 Micah knew exactly who he wanted to be, and I had never heard of him. The Awkward Avoidance Viking from Studio C--view a clip here.

 When Eve dressed in her Indian clothes, I decided to get in on the fun, too.

After a neighborhood Halloween dinner, the boys headed out in their pod of friends to cover as much area in the quickest time possible. Lily and her friend took Eve to a few houses (she never likes to go as long as the boys), and I manned the front door with our neighbors Marc and Ashley (Doofenschmirtz and a pineapple, I mean). We laughed and handed out candy and had more fun than should be allowed on the front step on Halloween. When Eve got back, I took Lily and her friend to a party, and she changed back into a cheerleader while I was gone. Also while I was gone, Halloween threw up in the entry way. Trading and crying and fighting  . . .

. . . and then bed.

Halloween 2015 is now on the books.

Now it's November, and the weather has finally decided to feel like fall. I actually needed a sweatshirt this morning.
