We're proud to say that we dressed up this year (parents included.) Although we did not dress up Emery. She's just so darn cute as she is. The whole family went to the trunk or treat at the Church dressed up as pirates! Halloween was a blast. We had a ton of fun. After the trunk or treat we headed over to Grandparent Denney's house. We had some fun spooky treats and laughs. Unfortunately now, Joseph is aware of what Halloween is, and it'll be another holiday he'll ask us about once a week for the next year. That, and we have enough candy to last us a really really long time!
Everyone say Arr
Head to toe pirate action, complete with homemade eye patches for the ultimate pirate look!
Halloweeny dip!
Dry ice in the punch bowl. So cool!
Candy corn pudding!
Awesome little treat bags made by Julie. Aaron dropped one in the parking lot about 3 times and nothing fell out! Quality craftsmanship! (Not really, but they didn't fall apart!)
A short while before Halloween we had an FHE of making spooky Haunted Houses. For more info on them, check out Julie's cooking blog. (It's in the right-hand menu of My Blog List. Click on Mediocre Eats.)
Made Aaron get Julie in a picture.
Julie made one for us and Joseph made one to give away to a friend.
Cute kiddos!
Joseph made a jack-o-lantern with Aaron. Joseph even got to draw the face and Aaron translated it into this. So Spooky!
Out for a walk. (Eventually Joseph ended up with Emery in his lap. It worked better.)
She enjoyed the wagon.
The was the climax of our walk. They were working and moving around too. It was pretty exciting.
So, the real news (as many of you already know) is that Aaron passed his COMPS and will be receiving his masters degree! He already applied for graduation and will be officially graduting in December, though we won't be doing any of the formalities. We are extremely excited that his student days are done. Now his teacher days have officially begun. Now if only Montana paid better for a masters degree! We're excited either way. Anyhow, that's all our news and photos! Thanks for enduring the long post!

What exciting news and fun pictures. I think Tx pays well for teachers. MOVE HERE!!
Riley is the same way now. He always asks if Halloween is going to be tomorrow. That, and he knows his birthday is coming up, so he will also ask if his birthday is tomorrow. Great job on the festive food as well as your halloween bags! Looks like you had a fun Halloween. We're very happy that Aaron passed his COMPS!

Looks like you had a great Halloween. I love the houses and you are now my favorite pirates. I know Johnny Depp is jealous. Some day, I'm going to make scarry halloween dip and candy corn pudding...after I retire. You can come to California, we pay more for Masters degrees.
Love, Mom
Cute pictures. It looks like you had an awesome Halloween. Congratulations to Aaron!
