What kind of mother would I be if I didn't post these?

School parties, parades, ward parties, family game night...who would have known that Halloween was on Sunday this year? Multiply treats times 5 kids and there is still plenty of junk -- even without "official" trick-or-treating.

Where is Addysen, you might ask? No parties for middle school -- but she did attend a party Friday night - dressed as a referee. (Not the elementary school party though...because, afterall, she is in 6th grade now!) Saturday night she was a pirate -- but blogger wouldn't upload the picture.

Only Cannon had his costume figured out in advance...and that is thanks to our friends who found out he is a Steeler's fan. Which Steeler was he? Troy Palamalu. Ask how he knows the names of the players as we rarely have football on around here...and I will tell you, with some embarrassment, that he learned their names from playing X-Box...or Wii...or some sort of video game. (We pretty much have to pry the jersey off of him in order to wash it. Rolls of toilet paper worked perfectly as shoulder pads. )

As for the girls, it's wonderful to say, "go pick something out of the bin in the basement."
