And BOO to YOU TOO

As previously mentioned, All Hallows Eve is not my favorite holiday.  But with grandkidlets who dress up and a son-in-law (J, the original Ute) who LOVES it, I have had to make some adjustments.  So, I always find a costume and put on my smiley face.  This year I found the military garb for $1 at an Overstock.com warehouse sale!
The creatures in the yard, a gangster, Batman, a rock star and a scary, but beautiful witch had "killed" the general.  So sad...
 
  Our newest "Little Pumpkin," Baby M sleeping peacefully after a hard afternoon of family pictures with his mom and dad.


 I teased Daddy J that he would never open his mouth and show his teeth.  The reverse psychology worked!  Here is J, the woodcutter, doing his impression of Big Daddy Pumpkin!  I love it!


Little S was the CUTEST ballerina!


I LOVE Baby Z's spider costume!  He looks like he's had a delicious dinner of mosquitos and flies!

Big brother J, was a blue dinosaur.  The combination of late night, candy and warm costume in hot house were showing their effects on his face!
 

Notice how the spider might be a bit worried that the dinosaur is still hungry!
 

First son J, the cougar, dressed up like Captain Jack Sparrow, an easy feat since he had just returned from a tradeshow and side trip to Disneyland.


 Note eldest daughter A's front yard, tediously decorated in graveyard chick.  Tombstones, skulls, a graveyard fence, spotlights and ghoulish creatures are everywhere.  However, the kids looked anything but ghoulish.
 
Whew, glad that's over.  So are the other moms...
