Trunk-or-Treat and a little bit of football

Yay! We made it through! As wiped out as I am I'm surprised I'm even bothering with this tonight. But I know me, ' miss procrastinator', and it might be next month before I get to this if I don't get it out of the way now.

My little motley crew standing on the grandparents' porch. We had to stop by there so they could see the costumes. Todd is a Grim Reaper/Skeleton-something-or-other. Zack is a Jedi. Matt is Elmo 'going to the beach', which is why he's in shorts and flip flops. You can't see the flip flops, but you get the visual. Lauren is a 'I-don't-want-my-picture-taken' Witch. Thankfully I only had to pay for Lauren's hat, which was only $0.69, and maw maw made her pants because the dress was a little too short. Everything else was leftovers. :o)

Elmo with his stash.

The Witch eating her stash.

I'm not quite sure what this is, but I called him a Werewolf-Clown-Farmer. He had big monster hands on and glow sticks in his 'fro'. Sorry---can't see the glow sticks because I had to use my flash, but they were VERY cool.

Witches were popular tonight. This one was too cute. Her grandma made her entire costume. I'm jealous.

This Witch was excited to be there and wanted to make sure I knew here hair wasn't really pink.

When I asked this lovely princess if I could take a picture of her dress, she gave me the perfect princess pose. Look at the delicate placement of her hand. Very princessy!

ON TO FOOTBALL ----

For the record, I've never been more happy to see a football season come to an end. I don't do well with sports.

Since this was Todd's last game, I figured I better get some pictures. I kept forgetting to bring my camera to his other games when I didn't have the little brother or sister in tow. Can you guess which one is him? Hint: In the back. He's the tallest one on his team.

Yay, he's finally in the game! Look. He's about a head taller than the rest of the players. What am I gonna do with him in a couple of years when I have to look up to lecture him?

He was NOT happy with me taking his picture. I tried to get something more formal and football-y-like before the game, but he gave me the 'tude'. I dropped the subject and went to sit down. Don't you just love pre-teen hormones?

I love the costumes and I'm so there with you on the teenage attitude.
