The Young and the Restless

Halloween '09

The Parties....

Who didn't love the annual Halloween parties at school where you get to parade around in your costume and eat nothing but junk and play games all day?? I was so sad when Kylie's school district did away with anything related to Halloween and so I was extra excited when Jayden's school went all out with the old school Halloween party that I loved. Jayden thought it was great and Maddox wanted in on the action too.

Our neighbors had a little Halloween part-ay and Jon and Kate decided to make a temporary reconcilliation for the sake of the kids. Jon is rockin' the tight Ed Hardy and diamond earring stud, too bad for him that the kids lost one of the earrings and too bad for him that when somebody bought the shirt for him she didn't realize it was a womens shirt. No wonder it was so tight. The annual ward trunk or treat...the kids ran off with their friends the minute we got there, so I didn't get any pictures of them. We did run into Maddox's buddy, Preston. He is the one who was born on the same day and the same hospital and Kristen and I are determined that they are destined to be best friends. Doing everything the same didn't stop when it came to Halloween either, we were both so surprised to see that we unknowingly dressed them in the exact same costume!

The big night....

Given Jayden's current obsession with Star Wars, the kids were so excited to dress the part. Jayden as Darth Vader, Kylie as Padamei (I couldn't even spell her name, let alone find a costume, so this is my attempt at sewing my first and last Halloween costume). Maddox had to be none other than Yoda, and after spending hours searching for the costume (on the day before Halloween, of course), I was so sad when he got sick and didn't get a chance to wear it to go trick or treating. We met at the Martinez's for chili and then I took Maddox home while Jason took the kids around. After Maddox was sound asleep and the kids had more candy than they could ever eat, they went back to the Martinez's to watch a movie on their drive way while Jason and I went next door and had a great time hanging out with neighbors. What a fun Halloween, hopefully next year everyone will be healthy!
