Halloween 2013

 A little decor on our new little house
 We had such a beautiful warm fall! These ivy leaves looked almost flourescent.

 Cole talked about wanting to be Slenderman for months! He was pretty proud of this costume.
Jack was a "Navy Dude" and Trace was a ninja. He had to leave all his weapons home, so it's hard to tell! 
Our school Halloween parade around the neighborhood! It's so fun! 
Two of Jack's buddies Zach and Avery. 
Like father like son. 
Cole, you are so scary! 
 Tal with his two "Besties" Nico and Ronin. They had a very dramatic night. Talmage got in a fight with a kid who kept stealing his candy and Tal ended up with a scratch on his face. Ronin hid behind a bush and hollered out obscenities. The episode was famous at school the next day and four of deacons from Talmage's quorum came to our house to show their concern and make sure Tal was o.k. He was fine. With these three, things are never dull. This marked our first Halloween of our older boys going off with their friends on their own. I'm proud that they survived (barely), but it was a bit sad to see their days of dependance on Mom and Dad fading.
 One of these was "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. Very sophisticated neighbors.
The street scene was so magical with hundreds of kids walking in and out of these historic homes. 
Cole and his crew Cole, Carter, Noah and Keegan. Most of the boys called it quits early. But Cole and Carter kept on going for another hour and a half. Clint weighed Cole's bag and it was over 6 pounds of candy! Cole was extremely proud of his hard earned haul.

I'm jealous of your school parade. Bon Lin didn't even have the kids wear their costumes to school and no parade or anything. what gives with that? Luke was so proud of his scary costume and none of his class mates ever even saw it. Cole was looking pretty scary. Cute Halloween house too! I love the bright orange vines crawling around the corner of your house. very cool.

Wow Cole! What a cool costume!! Seriously! And I loved reading about Tal's buddy swearing from behind the bush. I hope he swore at the kid who stole Tal's candy. Nice of the quorum to check on Tal. :) Love the parade! How awesome that they go around the neighborhood. Looks like such a cool place to live.

What great costumes all around. You live in a really fun area and I am so glad you keep us posted with your faithful blogging. I remember the fun parade at Valley in and out of pods and hallways. Now it is just through the short gym... bummer! Love you guys!

I'm just catching up! Loved Halloween with your imaginative, lively boys in my old neighborhood.
Great pictures, Sarah, and great text.
