Good times . . . .


Don't you hate those braggy blog posts?
The "We have amazing lives!" and "Don't you wish you had as much fun as we did?" posts.
Puh-lease!!

This post is about

HOW INCREDIBLY AWESOME OUR HALLOWEEN WAS!!!!!!!

Ya, you heard me. We are awesome.
Okay, maybe not.
But, our Halloween was seriously really fun.

Davin and I love the Amazing Race tv show.


Have you seen it? It's, well . . . amazing!
Teams racing around the world, completing tasks to win a million dollars.
It's intense stuff.

Our neighbors hold an annual Halloween party - Amazing Race style.
Picture 90 people in teams of 3 couples, racing around Blackfoot ID.
SOOOO much fun.
The neighbor is the head of the Chamber of Commerce so he has a lot of ins with the businesses around here.
There was a lot of digging, running, speeding (luckily no tickets), yelling, and laughing.
Such a blast.
As you can probably tell from this picture,


by the end of the night we were exhausted.


Christopher had a Halloween party at his preschool.
He was so excited to take treats to all his little friends.



We carved pumpkins with some very fun people.



We had a Halloween party at our church.
I didn't take any pictures because I was busy reminding myself why I don't like taking a child with severe sensory issues to an event with candy-hyped children, carnival games that he insists on doing perfectly, and balloon popping games (ugh, his worst nightmare!!)
Was that sentence long enough? :)
We always end those nights with us running out of the building with a screaming child.
I really could write a whole post on how sad this makes me, but I really am trying to stay positive about our situation.
We will try again next year.


We had a blast trick or treating.
Andy was so excited this year.
Christopher's job was to ring the doorbell and Andy's job was to pound on the door until they opened it.


Lovely.
I'm sure the neighbors loved that.
We loved walking in the cool night air with our boys and waving to all the friends and neighbors on our way.


We had fun.
Did you have fun???

You guys really do have awesome lives! We should have just followed you around for all your halloween festivities and pretended like we knew all the people you knew, and that we belonged there. Yours and Davin's costumes are awesome!
We went to an 80s Murder Mystery Party and pretended to be someone else who was outgoing and talkative-which we are not. It was pretty fun! My costume was not 80s enough but I just have to remember that I was only 7 in the 80s and stretch pants was about as cool as it got for me :)!
