Boo!

Happy Halloween 2010!



Papaya carving pumpkins with Petunia--our blog name for one of Papaya's BFFs.
(We heart Petunia.)




Jr. was a warrior/viking. (He also carved his pumpkin all on his own. Woo hoo!)

Papaya wanted her pumpkin to look like it was throwing up. No idea why, but it was pretty funny.

ZuZu and LuLu (pumpkin and a rabbit).

Take 2.

Take 3.
(Someone tell me why the peace signs come out when you ask for a silly face?)

It's not Halloween without a pumpkin-pizza from Papa Murphy's.


Papaya as a witch.

Cam-Cam as a bumble-bee.

We went through 200+ BlowPops. Seems like a good crowd? (For a rainy Sat. night.)

Gr. Lorraine came by to see the kids before the night began.

It started POURING rain just before the kids headed out. Burrrrr.


I think Papaya's pumpkin turned out so good. It's cracking me up.
(She put fake worms in it and everything.)
Harry Potter character (sorry, Petunia, I can't remember name) and Papaya the Good Witch.


Jr. and ZuZu.
Jay with Buzz Lightyear shirt (and a crazy wig).

The booty.

LuLu got white hair for the night, but with the rain, it turned kind of grey.

Jay scaring the older kids.
On our way to church Sunday morning. (ZuZu decided a mustache was in order.)

Papaya agreed.

Jr. agreed. (And doesn't that make him look 78?)

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
