Halloween

Halloween was really great this year. I planned and hosted three parties in one day (Preschool, Emma's 2nd grade class, and our 3rd Annual street party). I almost divorced Brent in the morning because when I went to get my energy drink (an extra large Rock Star) out of the fridge for my breakfast I found that Brent had stolen it! I was furious! I had bought it and saved it all week for this day. {Okay judgey judgers... Yes I drink caffeine. But only on days when I have to be super mom. }Brent wasn't allowed back in the house without a replacement drink, which by the way is still sitting in the fridge un-opened. I made it through the day without a drop of caffeine!
So here are some awesome pictures of Halloween 2008! It was a prefect day for the kids. But I have to admit, I'm sure I love this Holiday more than them.
Here I am! The hostess with the mostess!PEACE!!!

Isabelle was adorable Lucy Jane and her trusty pal Walter Little Miss Emma The best part of this costume was that Brent was totally unrecognizable. Our Bishop confessed to Brent on Sunday that after talking to him, while they were out trick-or-treating, he had to ask someone who the creep in our neighborhood was. He had no idea it was Brent.
These two dorks are our wards Elders Quorum President and First councilor. Cami and I are so proud. They took a spin around the neighborhood until their sweet ride broke down and they had to push it home. It was the highlight of my night. I couldn't stop laughing.This is the 3rd year we have had a street Halloween party. How lucky are we that we love our neighbors and that we all love Halloween? We had pot luck in the garage and set up a hot chocolate stand on the sidewalk for all the trick or treaters. Isabelle and KaylenLucy GooseyPete and LisaSommer and MillyEmma and TrinityMelissaI'm sad it's all over. But now I get to plan Christmas...

Great post, Mandy! You guys DID look amazing. I love the beard Brent grows every year. My faves are our hubbies on the bike!! ha! So funny! Thanks for hosting again this year. I think it should be my turn next year so you don't have to do all the work every time. You guys are awesome to always be so willing to head it all up and get it organized. Great pictures.

Mandy I am right there with ya on the caffiene bit. I love Diet Coke! I have one for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (I pour it over my cereal in the morning) j/k. Andy says I have an addiction, but if there is only one coke left in the house you better lay off! I plan my day on where I am going to fill up. Brent's costume is amazing. I bought those sleeves for Andy last year and he got so many comments. We so need to get together. I miss ya!
