ROUND ONE
DING DING DING DING! THANKS FOR SCORING ALL THAT SWEET CANDY FOR ME KIDDOS! :) ELLA AND LINK GOT HOOKED UP AT GRANDMA'S TRUNK-OR-TREAT. THIS IS ROUND ONE OF FOUR FOR LINCOLN AND ONE OF FIVE FOR ELLA. PHEW! I KNOW HER MAKEUP IS A LITTLE DRAMATIC...I AM SURE IT'LL GET TONED DOWN THE MORE TIMES I DO IT. BY ROUND FOUR SHE'LL PROBABLY HAVE NOTHING ON. ELLA IS A FLAMENCO DANCER (COMPLIMENTS OF MY SISTER RACHEL WHO JUST GOT BACK FROM SPAIN) AND LINCOLN IS A PIRATE....AGAIN. THE COSTUME FITS STILL, HE LOVES IT AND AS THE AGE OLD SAYING GOES, "IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT". I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS DYNAMIC DUO AS THE PIRATE WITH HIS LATIN LOVER. OK, THAT'S WEIRD, BUT DON'T THEY KIND OF GO TOGETHER?



ROUND TWO

The city of Hampton, where the dental office is located always hosts trick-or-treating up an down the street. Of course, we had to go. When a man asked Link the stereotypical question, "Who are you?" Lincoln replied as he ripped off his hat, "It's just me- Lincoln!". So cute.

ROUND THREE

This was at our ward's Halloween get together on Halloween. ANYWAY, BY THE TIME HALLOWEEN ACTUALLY ROLLED AROUND THIS WAS THE 5TH TIME ELLA HAD DRESSED UP. SHE DRESSED UP FOR SCHOOL AS WELL (ROUND FIVE FOR HER). SO WHEN SHE TOLD ME SHE WANTED TO BE A BALLERINA...I WAS THRILLED. THIS INVOLVED NO MAKE-UP! AND LINK SIMPLY WANTED TO PUT ON HIS FIREMAN COAT. THEY GOT NO ARGUMENTS FROM ME. THE PRESSURE TO LOOK CUTE ON HALLOWEEN WAS NON EXISTENT. YEAH! As the Young Men's president Jason was asked that they sponsor a game. He chose the donut game and the kids were thrilled. Ella has some serious donut-eating skills of which she got from me.
ROUND FOUR

YES, I HAVE A DOUBLE CHIN. I AM CHINNING FOR TWO! THAT WAS LAME. SORRY. WE ARE COMPARING STOMACHS HERE. THE KIDS THOUGH IT WAS FUNNY THAT HE HAD A BIG TUMMY, LIKE MOMMY. AND I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY HILARIOUS HOW UNCOMFORTABLE JASON THOUGHT THIS WEIGHTLESS STOMACH WAS. HE KEPT COMPLAINING THAT IT INHIBITED HIS MOVEMENT. PLEASE.

PS- ON A SLIGHTLY BITTER SIDE NOTE... I WAS CERTAIN THIS BABY WOULD BE HERE BY HALLOWEEN. AFTER ALL, I HAD LINK TWO WEEKS EARLY. HERE I AM THOUGH WITH LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO. UGH. I HAD EVEN BOUGHT HIM A COSTUME. TIME TO RETURN IT! THE FULL MOON ISN'T DOING IT'S JOB EITHER.
