Halloween 2015

Halloween...our almost favorite holiday of the year.  This year Ruby comes up to me weeks before Halloween and says, " Mom, I am going to be the Lorax for Halloween and I am NOT going to change my mind."  Okay then.  Let's do it.  This is what we came up with!  She didn't end up liking the glasses with the painted cotton ball eyebrows and mustache.  I don't blame her.  It was a good effort, but face paint is really so much simpler and comfortable.

My little Lorax. :)

And, Jay, from Ninjago...which is a lego show in case you are not familiar.  This was a decisive move on Owen's part also and made for a pretty simple and warm costume option which is pretty important for Halloween in the mountains.  

Here are the Kirby's and us on Main St.

Main Street in Park City was reported to be the biggest Halloween party in the country.  I don't know about that, but what I can tell you is that it is a lot of fun, a big crowd, and some great inspiration for costumes.

Kirby's dressed up as the four seasons.  Chip dressed up with Owen and was Sensei Wu.  His costume was the best in years.  Someone actually recognized him on Main St.  I dressed up with Ruby and was a Trufula Tree.  It was really just a great excuse to wear a really fun wig.

Best costume on Main this year.

Post Halloween bike ride.  Our last one of the year.  We rode about five miles (slightly down hill) on the Rail Trail.  

Ruby used her own money to purchase a Star Wars fleece blanket at Costco...cause she doesn't have enough blankets??? I know, the fact that she has a million blankets doesn't impact this choice.  My kids do LOVE blankets.  Its kinda their thing.

Our other recent thing is this...tape.  If you leave a roll of unattended tape in our house it will not be long before it is all used up for hanging, or tying up some character or animals.

A few out of order Halloween pics...

During this bike ride we were mid negotiations on a new house.  We had been scheming a renovation on our current house when we found this new address in our neighborhood, next door to one of our best friends and four doors down from another bestie.  It had all that we would have gotten in the renovation and more.  So, if I have no entries for November, its because we have been cleaning the new house like crazy to get it ready for mid December move in, as well as cleaning our old house to get it ready and keep it ready to be for sale.  Will have pictures of both eventually. :)
