Halloween 2011

Great weather for Halloween this year! Had a great time, loved raiding the kids buckets when they weren't looking. Having small children is wonderful (they have no idea how much of their candy you've eaten!)Malia was a princess, and you could tell she really felt she fit the roll. Riley was a ninja! His new favorite color is red.
By now Riley is a trick-or-treating pro but it took him a couple years to build up to expert. Malia was immediately an expert.
Malia giving her friend a hug.
Ben and I were able to go to a really fun Halloween party this year. I dressed up as him and he dressed up as me. Let's just say he got the short end of the stick. You'll see.
A minute to win it game. Our friends aren't afraid to look ridiculous :)
This minute to win it game involved picking up small paper bags of varied height with your mouth, and only your feet could touch the floor. Our friend Dave, the contortionist, is on the right. That is Ben in the background, and my leg on the left.
Haven't done a pyramid in about 11 years. Forgot how fun it is!
"We are the champions" was literally playing in the background. The guys are holding up their bags of popcorn.
The Mexican and the accident victim.
Mr. and Mrs. Pirate
Mr. Skeleton, Mrs. Skeleton, and baby boy skeleton.
Little Bo Peep and her big fluffy sheep.
Thing 1 and Thing 2.
Mr. and Mrs. Dracula?
I kid you not we won the most sexy costume category, thanks to Ben.

And here we have Ben, in all his glory. I will never forget the experience of putting my bra on him. The clasps in the back wouldn't reach by about 10 inches, so I had to get a ribbon and corset it together. One of the best experiences of my life!!!
