Ah, october. Love, love, LOVE it.
Atticus really got into decorating the house this year... Inside and out.
We also greatly appreciated a Halloween CD Debbie Carter made for the boys.
A week before Halloween we crashed Leesburg/Eustis's Trunk or Treat.
We had a great time seeing old friends and making a few new ones.
My Betty Suarez costume from Ugly Betty went over swimmingly. :)
Well, at least Hannah Teets recognized me. Bless that girl.
Aren't Cayd and Ryan too cute together? We're considering having George draft paperwork for an arranged marriage. Could work.
Our other outings were less costumey. We stole this dual purpose tie dye shirt idea from Rhea.1. We were obnoxiously matchy matchy which I, of course, adore.
2. It kept us from losing any of the kids, like we almost did last year. Terrifying!
We hit 2 Fall festivals this October, including one in Oxford and one on Halloween night at the Sumter County Fairgrounds.
Atticus decided to be a dice at the last minute. We happended to have a few boxes hanging around. :)
Wyatt's obsession with hats was not thwarted, though we forgot his frieman hat. Allusions were made to Parenthood with Steve Martin.
The fairground had bouncehouses in every shape and size. Plus cotton candy, soda, hot dogs, games, costume contests, etc. It was super fun!
Only, there were SO many redneck costumes! How embarassing to have the same costume as half the county. I'd rather be Betty any day, thank-you-very-much. What's that? Those weren't costumes? My mistake. 
All in all October 2008 can be ruled a great success - Five thumbs up!

Can I get a picture of that adorable Rag Doll?
cool picture of wyatt and the giant pumpkin!
and hey...can you teach me how to do that cool collage thing?
That is one family that loves Halloween! Love the pics.
Oh, it is so wonderful to know that you appreciate this holiday! I am so sick right now of grouch moms that complain about Halloween. Lighten up! Halloween is all about gorging on candy and pretending to be somebody you are not. Two of the best strategies for getting through life.
I LOVE IT!!! You guys all look so great! I love the skeleton made from the milk cartons and the trash bag spider- Layna and I saw those videos on the Family fun website and I am so impressed at how well they turned out! You should send pics to the website! That is so cool! What a fun Halloween!
Way to make the most of October and get your money's worth out of your costumes.
I was going to comment on the awesome-ness of the spider and skeleton, and then insist that you show me how you did it, but I see from previous comments that you got the idea from the Family fun website. I hope they're still there. If not, you owe me some information. Next time, you need to direct me to this cool stash of homemade Halloween decoration information BEFORE Halloween is over. Selfish girl!
Ditto on the Skeleton. LOVED IT! And for sure want to try it for next year. I am also with the other girl about loving Halloween and all the candy binging involved. I let me kids eat candy til they got sick and I didn't even make them brush their teeth that night. BAD mom.....happy kids. It was great!
You guys are so cute and festive. You are such great parents!!! Have you guys moved yet? I bet you are so stoked to be moving home!!!!! I'm jealous!
