Halloween Giraffe.

Being that it was our last chance, Bryan decided he would grace BYU with his presence at the Halloween party. I guess he's not ashamed of us this year. :) Caden surprised us with no funny business when he modeled his costume for everyone. He was strictly business walking across the stage. Then we went trick-or-treating through the carrels. Caden only lasted for a bit because his costume was making him sweat bullets. Ella was my favorite, she was on a mission walking straight from one carrel to the next. Her bag was so full by the end that her arm was bright red. Hilarious. As always, thank you Lesley, for documenting our lives.

I took Caden into our backyard jungle to do a photoshoot. I thought it would be cute since it's so African Safari-like. Caden thought I had lost my mind. When I climbed into the weeds, he looked at me like, 'there is zero chance I'm following you crazy woman.' He started screaming, and then ignored me completely. Result: Caden wouldn't speak to me for an hour afterward, and no worthy pictures. Luckily for me, Lesley saved the day, at our Halloween celebration with lots of fun shots. I'm probably going to die when we all go our separate ways.Caden's cute buddies: Carter and Ella.

So he decided he was done sitting on the box and went to roll off. I swear I've never seen my husband run that fast. He was at least five feet away, and was able to save Caden. I love the look on his face!The kids thought it was fun to be "behind bars." The giraffe looked like he was all caged in. I'll be honest...some days I wish I had one. :)

We ended our Halloween evening with the girls at Jessica's safely watching Twlight, and the boys at Kyle's watching a horror movie. This was the best situation for all of us: No nightmares or sleeping with the lights on. I'm not sure when I became such a wimp...I remember in high school we did some scary stuff for Halloween. Those days are loooong gone.
