Kevin and I dressed up as Todd and Sarah Palin. People kept asking me, "You're Sarah Palin, right?" I think they couldn't tell if I was in a costume or if I was just coming from work. When I was away from Kevin, people had no idea who he was until he told them, "I'm the husband of a hockey mom." We never dress up, and I had so much fun wearing costumes this year. Now I want to try to find a costume to wear every year.I didn't get any pictures from Rebecca's dance class, although I wish I did. (I actually forgot my camera for all four of our Halloween activities. I'm pregnant - what can I say. All of the pictures for this post came from Rachel S. and my sister Jodi.) At dance, there was a Snow White, an Aerial, a Sleeping Beauty, and a Cinderella. It was so fun to see all of the different princesses, and it was cute that each princess chose a different princess costume. I also wish I got a picture of Ms. Stephanie who had on a long nightgown, big slippers, a shower cap with rollers hanging out, and some huge pink glasses. Her costume was a hoot.
On Friday, my brother had a Halloween party at his house.
Every year Travis and Wendy get a trailer and put lights and bales of hay on it for the kids to ride around the neighborhood. Here are all the cousins waiting to go get some candy.
My brother-in-law Randy took these cute pictures of my kids with his nice camera. As you can see, William did not miss out on getting some candy of his own.My favorite costume that night had to be my nephew Ryder's costume.
I can't believe he let his parents put all of this make-up on his face. People at every house handing out candy loved his costume. His brother Gage was going to be Batman, but his costume didn't fit, so he was Harry Potter instead.
We had a really fun Halloween week this year, and this pregnant lady is loving all of the candy she gets to eat out of her kids' buckets after they go to bed.

Was it me, or did Halloween last forever this year? Rebecca and William looked so cute in their costumes. That hay ride looks like so much fun!
I love all the little kids in their costumes, so cute. I love Halloween time. I love your costume. Ben and I didn't dress up this year, I was sad.
I love the costumesw, your kids look adorable. Halloween does start the week before doesn't it, but at least you get some use out of the costumes.
Cute costumes! I love William as a little monkey - that is cute!
You guys are sooo cute! I love the Sarah Palin costume. You pulled it off well. She's a babe and you're a babe. And how fun that Travis does hayrides every year. That is such a cool tradition.
Cute costumes and looks like you had a great halloween!
You make a great Sarah Palin. Maybe you'll be able to recycle the look in four years when she runs again.
Cute!
