HallowsEve

This cowboy is ready to blaze the trick or treat trail

Every year I get to dress up my little boys (and myself) and go to Ryan's work for trick or treating. This year we decided to go as Cowboys & Cowgirl as Max is really into horses and as a cowboy hat is about the extent to which I can get Ryan to participate in Halloween.

After Ryan saw my costume for Halloween he hinted that we would rather I forgo the Rodeo Queen get-up for his work party and opt for Cute Cowgirl Calli, instead, which I obliged.

Max really was very particular about the candy he picked (seriously he spent about 1 minute at each bowl..and there were many, many bowls). He ended up with about 1/2 a pumpkin full of Starburst, which we had no idea he had such an affinity for.

Max was very afraid of all the "spookies and scaries" this year as he called them, but Xango did a spook ally this year and we figured it couldn't be that scary So we took Max through. He held onto Ryan for dear life for the whole 2 minutes it took to walk through and was very happy to leave the "scaries" behind.

Chaps, six-shooters, boots, vest, hat, horse...ready to go!

After 2 hours of all this with 2 little boys who hadn't napped we forewent the Ward trunk-or-treat and called it a day. After all...Halloween was less than 24 hours away!

The chubbiest little cowboy...he loved his hat!

Every Hallows Eve, we sit for Jolea & Ryan so they can go out and enjoy their anniversary. So we rested up for a few hours and then went and grabbed a Halloween pizza to enjoy with the Beatty kids. We had lots of fun...and we think their parents enjoyed celebrating 11 years together without the kids for a night.
