Happy Hallowiener


That's what we do at our house now. Don't think we weren't in the running for coolest house on the block, because we just may have been. Brian has been serving hot dogs at work on Halloween for the past few years. This year, we parked the grill on our driveway and offered candy OR a hot dog. And if you were really cute, you could have both. We passed out 60 hot dogs and I'm already worried to see how many I'll end up buying next year.

Brian said next year the sign needs to be MUCH bigger. Here's the farmer family in all our glory.



Gavin was the cutest duck on the planet. He got sick of his costume after about eight minutes, so we had to put it on three different times during the day. I took him to see dad at work and he was a hit at my work lunch party. It's hard not to be when you're that cute...


My bosom buddy Karen and her teddy bear, Elsa


This double chin falling out of the hat kills me.


And this is pretty much what he thought about the day - but we had a great time. I've never been a Halloween person, but dressing up a baby made it much more enjoyable for me. It turns out it's a lot less chaotic than the 5th grade kind.

I have been waiting and it was worth the wait. Natalie he is so cute and those chubby cheeks make the costume. If word gets out that you can have a hot dog instead of candy at your house you better watch out. By next year you may be serving the whole town of Pleasant Grove.
