HALLOWEEN

Yep you read that right...A post about HALLOWEEN right after New Year's Day. Cool, huh?

Nathan actually dressed up bright and early. The football coaches sprayed their hair green for the football game. Silly but the kids liked it. I made a huge banner for the team the night before and the kids were so pumped. They thought they were hot stuff running through it.Thanks for holding my hours of labor all crooked there, guys! Awesome.I didn't think we were going to do trick or treating so we scrounged up some costumes at the last minute. Cole was the professional dirt bike rider, Travis Pastrana, again this year.Brooke was Hannah Montana and was beyond excited about wearing lots of make up. We ended up going along with several friends around their neighborhood in their hay-filled trailer. Yep, that's how they do here in the country parts.
Who did your make up, girl? Ooooh la la!
I feel sorry for the boys that she suckers with those eyes in the future. Yea so...We're riding along on the trailer and Cole suddenly says he needs to throw up. Whaaaa??? Luckily, we were stopped and I told him to jump off and throw up in the grass. I thought he was kidding but I quickly found out that he wasn't. Poor guy laid all curled up in the hay during the rest of the trick or treating.
Drew and Sean are obsessed with spirits from the beyond and begged Nathan to take them to cemeteries. They went 2 weeks before Halloween to several cemeteries for hours and had all kinds of nerdy cameras and sound recording devices to "capture" any spirits. Dorks.

They couldn't find one specific place so Drew's mom took all of us on Halloween night. It's called the Dollhouse Cemetery because a man literally built a dollhouse at his infant daughter's grave site many years ago. If you're brave enough, you go inside of it in the darkness. Evidently, it's the big thing to do around here. Did I mention that we're basically in the country???
All in all Halloween did turn out to be lots of fun, minus Cole's brief barfing experience, even though Halloween really isn't our thing. Stay tuned for more holiday updates that I'm months behind on. :)
