More Halloween fun

On Halloween, Owen, Zoey, and I went to Nathan's work to show off costumes while Jo was in school. Nathan took Zoey out on the floor since she was already all suited up for it. He said that the ladies out on the floor ate her up. I think they were both cute. Nathan took some pictures at his office. It was a good thing because I forgot to take pictures later. The "I'm a cowboy, I'm too cool to smile" pose.

Zoey was so excited to look like everyone else at Nathan's work. She kept saying she was Daddy for Halloween instead of a lab tech. It was pretty cute.

I told the kids that they had to wear a costume from years past because we were so busy this year and I didn't want to make any new costumes. But then, last weekend when we were in Utah, Jo came up with a great idea that would only work for her this year. In the last year, she has lost 6 teeth and before that she had already lost 2 that had come back in. Her teeth were in various stages of coming back in. Her idea was to be a jack-o-lantern. She told me how to do it. So, the day before Halloween I was running to Wal-Mart (not a quick feat where we live) trying to find everything to make Jo a jack-o-lantern. I think it turned out pretty cute. (I did re-do Jo's paint when we got home so I could take pictures).

And a close-up of her face.

She was such a trooper. I couldn't find orange face paint, so I ended up using acrylic paint. By the end of the night, her face was itching like crazy, but she was still smiling. She decided that she had to smile all night to show people why she chose to be a jack-o-lantern.

Halloween night, we went to our ward's trunk-or-treat, then went to go visit Grandpa Jack, then Gabby and Yani. It was a long night, but the kids were excited to be out late and see everyone. Thanks for letting us come see you.
