Halloween 2010

Griffin and Owen's Tennis Season is finally over! I use that "finally" in the best way... I thoroughly enjoyed going out to their games and watching them. They really improved each game and are enjoying their weekly game with Dad and Grandpa. Thanks so much to the Nana, Grammy and Grandpa for your amazing support during the games!



I just couldn't resist this cute shirt! When the kids were little, I never put t-shirts on them that had negative messages... I guess my parenting style is getting too relaxed :) The boys thought the message was cute, so with their stamp of approval:



McKay thought the T-shirt was ugly, and so she came up with her own Halloween outfit, too cute!



Last year I found some beautiful costume dresses and purchased them for the girls. They had other ideas:



Corpse Brides (they truly are Steve's children!)



and... this was the first year the boys decided they were too old to dress up. We did however find a simple idea that they agreed to, they were "Quarter-backs". The irony of this can be seen below:
The irony is that while being "quarter-backs" and playing football in the dark, Griffin ran into a pole and chipped two of his teeth and blackened his cheekbone. It was rather scary to have someone (thanks Jana) come and get you and tell you your child is hurt! Luckily there were several adults who saw it and were rendering aid before I came on the scene. Needless to say, I don't think there will be any night-time football games going on for awhile.
This year we carved Pumpkins as teams: boys vs. girls. The boys did a great Spider Pumpkin:


and the girls did a Sick Pumpkin (they said it ate too much candy) Gross!

Your blog sent me on quite a trip: From cool (tennis), to cute (the girls pics) to disturbing, in a good way (the girls costumes) to clever (the boys costumes)to scary (Griffin's teeth incident) to gross (the girls vomitting pumpkin)! That's quite a ride for a blog entry!! Thanks!

There is alot of variety in this blog entry!
Might as well say a flying unicorn dressed up like Robin Hood came from outer space singing three days grace songs backwards while delivering free pizza to your door.
Yeah, your blog entry has more variety than that entire sentence!

WAIT!!!
Didn't Griffin chip his tooth sometime during the summer too?
Please take caution to everything you do.
