Halloweentime....

I am sure going to miss October...I don't think there is any other month of the year when there are so many wonderful activities!  We wrapped up my favorite month of the year by celebrating Halloween with some great friends!  Here is the 2010 edition of our Halloween costumes....

Richard Simmons, one of his devoted workout fans, my little tiger, and baby skeleton!  We attended our yearly BOOFEST at the Bowcutts, it makes me sad there may only be one more :(

And then on to the Trick-or-Treating.  Tucker is definitely a lot funner this year and understands the concept, and can actually say "Trick-or-Treat", which was great!  The only part he didn't like was the big ape that was handing out candy...he may or may not have cried when we tried to get him to take candy from the ape!

There are a few things I have liked about Trick-or-Treating in Ohio... everyone handing out candy sits on their porch, so you don't have to knock on doors and wait for someone to come.  It makes it so much faster!  Our city also always does their Trick-or-Treat the Thursday before Halloween, so the kids aren't out on the street on the weekend when all the crazies are out.  Lastly, I love that they have a designated time to go out...from 6-8 and that's it.  You won't get knocks on your doors at 10 from annoying middle schoolers! 

Here's my little buddy in the act...

 The gang we went out with!  What a cute bunch of kiddos :)

We were so excited this year that one of my best friends (and Nate's) was able to come hang out with us for all the Halloween fun!  Kelsie's hubby had to come out to Columbus for a work conference , and she was able to come along for some fun! 

It is such a small world in the church.  It really is a rare occasion that I bump into someone at church that I haven't found SOME sort of connection with.  This is one of those.  Kels was also roomates/classmates with my visiting teacher Jami back in the good old Weber State days, so we were able to hang out with her, too!

 While Kels and Ben were here, we decided to show them the zoo, as we show everyone the zoo!  We were able to catch a few minutes of Boo at the Zoo before it got too frigid!

 I usually go to the zoo in the mornings, and never see these flying foxes do anything, but in the evening they were crawling around and opening their monstrous wings.  Holy smokes...I really hope I never run into one of these monsters in the real world (it's a good thing they originate in Indonesia!)

 And the Trunk-or-Treat....I love it that our ward does it inside where it isn't cold!  Here's Tuck begging Daddy for some candy...

 Here we are with Kels and Ben....such great friends :)

Goodbye October...I can't wait until you come around again next year :)
