I loved the way my ruby red slippers turned out! Those were definitely my favorite part of the Dorthy costume! I just used an old pair of black heels, modpodge and red glitter. It was a bit of a mess, but worth it!
Matt and Mickie came up on Friday night. Saturday morning I was going to take family pictures for them, but Ty threw up in the middle of the night so we postponed the pictures till Sunday.
Nate and Kelly came Saturday afternoon, and we all headed to Craigo's for lunch with Mickie's brothers & fam.
We were planning on carving pumpkins after lunch, but ended up chatting instead. And around 5 we headed to a kid's carnival on campus. It wasn't much, but the kids enjoyed themselves.
Calin's favorite was definitely the hulahoops!! He Loved them! They also had a trunk or treat set up outside when we left. Calin had so much fun going from candy bowl to candy bowl, and was so good about picking one, sometimes 3, pieces and putting it in his bag.
{We just used Calin's lion costume from last year, and Jordan was such a trooper with his costume! Since I never finished it, he agreed to put on some overalls and stuff raffia in the pockets :) And Tanner let him wear an extra hat he had in the car, hahahahaha}
After the carnival we all headed out trick-or-treating. It was so fun watching the kids trick-or-treat together!! They were all so cute! And Tanner was so patient waiting on his little cousins!
After trick-or-treating we all came back to our house for dinner while we watched the giants & Oregon games.
After the games, we put on New Moon, and Mickie and I made caramel apples, while the boys wrote grad school essays.
Here are some funny pictures of our caramel apple attempts. I will have to remember to buy some Fit next year to clean the apples with! The caramel kept melting right off! They were still tasty though!

It was a fun day. So glad you had your camera out so much since I didn't. I stole a couple pictures. The ones that are in collages I can't save individually. When I click on it, it takes me to another web page are they available there somewhere?
I was just thinking, it might be a good idea to create a family account where we can upload pictures for all to grab as they want? Kind of like we did with APX last summer. I can't remember which site we used. Do you?
What a fun weekend to spend with family. Sounds like you had a great time! I love the costumes! They look pretty good for last minute. Well done on the ruby red slippers. I hope Calin gets feeling better! Spencer had the same football bag for his candy! I think it's so cute! Thanks for our costume idea, everyone loved it and thought it was original and creative. I attribute that all to you! Thank you!
Darling costumes!! Cute theme idea!!! :) I loved your little lion!
Ohh I second Kelly's idea! Then we could just load pictures there all the time and everyone can have them. :)
Oh and why didn't you post the picture I took of YOU with your apple? You made the best ones anyways. Mine all fell apart. :) I munched on one today. Odds are the rest of them wont last the evening with Matt home from work now.
Thanks again for such a fun weekend! I agree, all the boys in their costumes were SO CUTE! I LOVE that top picture! We have some darling kids.
