Happy Halloween

We started the Halloween festivities last week with a purchase of skeleton pajamas…these were a hit in our house.  A good old fashion game of "MONSTER" with glow in the dark pj's equals lots of LOUD SCREAMING AND LAUGHING!!!!  Also, these skeleton pajamas make any dance party way more fun!  As you can see in the video…All Skeleton Riley wants to do is dance but Skeleton Tater will do everything in his power to prevent this.

Last night was trick or treat here in Indianola.  It was Tate's first year going out and we were excited to see how he would react to it all.  Both boys did really good, Riley led the way and knew exactly what to do…but sometimes got his "lines" mixed up…"Thank you…I mean Trick or Treat"  and one time he said "Trick or Treat...I'm not supposed to say smell my feet"  we carried Tate from house to house and let him loose to walk up the sidewalk to the door…the whole way up to the houses he would say "treeeeet treeeet…." and grab as much candy as he could with his hands and say "Taaaaaannk  KU!" At a couple houses…Tate invited himself in or ignored the candy and attacked their dogs.  Ryan and I thought it would be fun to dress up while taking the kids trick or treating.  I had a witches hat from last year…so logically I was a witch (with the most tamed witch costume I could find)  and we let Riley pick Ryan's costume…it basically came down to a scary skeleton man and a giant hot dog.  So we went with the traumatizing-ly scary skeleton man.  We got a couple weird looks from other {boring} parents taking theirs kids out…but as you have learned in the past, we don't mind being the "Addams family" of the block.

 (incase you are wondering…Ryan is not having a stroke…he is doing the Thriller dance)
