Annual Pre-Halloween Photo Op.

Let us continue our tradition of taking photos of the kids in their costumes before they are covered in milk dud drool.

This year the boys decided to go as the forces of good and evil.

NINJA STYLE!

I was happy that I didn't have to buy more ninja swords. Mathew still had his from his stint as a ninja last year...complete with classic 2010 black sharpie artwork. Those are hard to come by.

Megan chose to be an angel.

Then she chose to be a black cat.

Then she chose to be a monarch butterfly.

Then she chose to be a cowgirl.

We hadn't quite made it to the cowgirl when our Pre-Halloween Photo Op arrived.

Laney fell in love with our doggy costume this year. It hasn't been worn since 2004 and has been declared "too itchy" by all of her older siblings every year. She couldn't resist those "BIG BICKIES!"

Here's my attempt at showing those voluptuous puppy hips....Mark pointed out that it looks like she is taking a dump in the front yard. 

You're welcome.

And then there is our youngest pup.

Where's Anna?

Yes. I know she kinda looks like a boy. Kinda looks like a boy named Waldo.  But we didn't make her go out like that alone.

We were supportive.

Very supportive.

Being supportive can only get you so far when you show up to the ward party in coordinating costumes and realize that the rest of the adults decided not to dress up.

It can do things to you.

Namely tears and drunkenness.

Happy Halloween All!
