Batman, Spiderman & a Red Hot Chili Pepper

All with their Spider Witch Mama...

We had a great Halloween.

After helping at Colton's school for the "Halloween Party" - which wasn't really a party - WITHOUT COSTUMES...

{Quick vent: Our elementary school voted to NOT allow

costumes on Halloween or allow any festivities.

How ridulous is that?

To me anyway.

I loved the Halloween parade as a child,

even though my costumes were usually

pretty embarrasingly home made

-Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Box -

The school thinks it disrupts education and does not contribute to learning.

Luckily, Colton's teacher disagrees. She feels it teaches culture and tradition.

I agree.

End of vent.}

After school, we went to Webb Nursery in Ketchum

for their Halloween party...

Webb provides a scavenger hunt, face painting, pumpkin decorating,

apple bobbing (no my kids have never done that), a bouncy house

and a costume contest...

of which Amanda's kids took 1st and 2nd place.

Then trick or treating in downtown Hailey to all the businesses.

Great thing Hailey does.

I could only get Bryce to wear Bridger's batman cape,

his batman hat (which I think is Brady's, Kara?),

and a bat on his face...stay tuned for the entire look...

No, I did not take these great pictures.

Thanks, Amanda.

Ben knew at first sight that I didn't take them.

Guess I should learn how to be a photographer.

I didn't think I was that bad until I look at

Amanda's and Carrie's

We then ended the eventful day

with a well attended Trunk-0r-Treat

at the church.

This holiday is way more fun with kids of your own!

Can't wait until next year.
