Halloween Two Times

Halloween two times because I never printed or posted pictures from last year.  Rick's company goes all out for Halloween.  They pretty much shut down to decorate.  Last year it took two hours to get through all three buildings.  It's such a cool thing they do for their employee's families.  My kids look forward to it every year.

Tatum and Sage weren't sure if this was a prop or a person.

Sage was thrilled to meet "the real Tinkerbell."

One department had a swing the children used to cross over "the river."

Last year the actors from California were Smurfs. In previous years they've been the Seven Dwarfs, the little wrestlers from Nacho Libre, and the Oompa Loompa's.  They are always part of the executive team's theme.  

We watched a tribute to Michael Jackson and Thriller.  Great dancers!

Elle and Tatum

That night we went to Pogue's for chili and trick or treating on the trailer.    So fun.  Whitney always goes all out and throws the best parties!  We had a great time.

My "costume" was very last minute.  The thing I want to remember is that it was Rick's idea and he said in a serious voice, "do you want me to do your makeup?"  

Halloween 2010

Rick went to his parents house and dug out his old scout uniform for his Hell-o-ween night ride, and his cyclocross race. He wore his neckerchief, sash and all.  His original pants were a little too tight to race in, so he splurged on a new pair of green shorts.  Everything else 'fit so nicely I said he could keep it.'  We were cracking up, he always makes me laugh.  Thanks Babe, for letting me take your picture even though you hate it!

This year Sage wanted to be a purple crayon. 

Tatum was the cutest green M&M for school trick or treating.  Her costume had a little motor on it that blew air into it to make it puffy.  Her friends loved it.  I feel so bad I didn't get a picture of her in it!
 On Halloween night, the downpour of rain ruined that idea and she went with the Ladybug so she could stay warm.  My Mom actually made this costume for Jaynann when she was little.  So cute.

The purple crayon (Sage), ninja warrior (Seth), and Ladybug(Tatum) ready to start trick or treating.

Ahh... the candy sort.  I loved this part of Halloween.  I have great memories of trading candy with Kim, John, Jay, and Daniel in California.
