Happy Halloween!

From: 
The Corpse Bride

Mario

Sleeping Beauty/Aurora/Briar Rose/Princess Peach (Depending on the moment you ask her)

And the generic pink princess

The pictures above were taken before our church activity/trunk-or-treat. Tyler really wanted to dress up as an Occupy Wall Street person, but I begged him to not get political this year. He obeyed and instead wore the bipartisan leprechaun costume.
I think he was a little bummed that I squelched his creative OWS idea; he thought the leprechaun costume was lame, but I thought he looked adorable.

I told Tyler that for once I was going as "just a mom", but Tyler told me I was a party pooper if I didn't dress up. Don't you love how we tell each other what to do around here? So I grabbed some of his scrubs and a hat and called it good. 
Yay for Trunk-or-Treating!!

At the party, they asked people to submit home videos so we could all get to know each other better. This is what we submitted:
We have to give credit to our creative friend (and Whitney's old sunday school teacher) Camille who is so incredibly talented that we had to copy her. Whitney watched her family video at least 2 million times, and she wanted to make her own video SOOO bad. Thanks Camille for inspiring us, and thanks church party for giving us a reason to make a music video. :)

Happy Halloween!!

Direct quote from Joe after watching the video: "We've got to step it up, Minds. Our house is too boring."

Wish Socal wasn't so far away. :(

My kids HAVE watched that video about 2 million times. Oh my goodness, it put the biggest smile on my face. I wish I knew your kids better. I feel like it's been so long! Maybe some day we'll see each other again and our kids will have a blast! You guys are AWESOME! Tyler, you must be home a lot more now, yes? Happy you're on to bigger and better things... Like making music videos!=)

Wow! Let there be more! We have watched this at least once every time we turn on the internet. Those kids really jump,jive,an wail (although I was a little suprised you let Whitney have a tatoo at such a young age, and I am sure Cole's booty dance is going to come back and haunt him someday.) Keep 'em coming!
