halloween

we drove to richfield again this year for halloween.  it's definitely fun to see kate with all the colton cousins dressed up and begging for candy.  here are a smattering of photos weston took:

it was definitely the year for kate to be more aware of everyone in costume.  last year she jumped from trunk to trunk, said trick or treat and thank you, and was generally happy about the whole thing.  this year she was timid, a bit anxious, and unsure about all the questionable costumes.  she did, however, have no trouble spotting belle amongst the trick or treaters (how does she know belle when she's never seen beauty and the beast?)

scary uncle trent and the carrot 

(i really wish we had gotten a better photo of beth as carrot, but this is probably the best shot...  and because it was so cold out, she wore that sweet little hat (made by alpha) under her costume.)

 sophia the clown (weston wore this costume when he was a kid)

 beth the carrot : kate the bunny : sophie the clown : karli the kitty : ali the spider

i don't know where this kid was during the group photo, probably leaping some tall building somewhere : oliver the super baby

trick or treat!

see what i mean?  no smiles - just caution...

we had a good weekend with family and candy.  i woke up saturday morning sick and throwing up and kate rounded out the weekend sunday night by doing the same.  at least we can say it wasn't because of too much candy!
