Since Madison and Zachary's trip to Oregon this summer, they have fallen in love with Skippyjon Jones. We now own 4 of the books and we read them at least 3 times a week! The books have some Spanish words in them and since we read them so often Madison now thinks she can speak Spanish. She adds "ito" to the end of everything, and thinks that magically turns every word into a Spanish word! What a nut! Anyway, in honor of her favorite book she went as Skipito Friskito the Great Sword Fighter!! It was a fairly easy costume to make and put together! I think I spend $7 total! Some people knew who she was and some she had to tell!
Zachary went back and forth quite a few times on his costume decision. First he wanted to be Bumblebee from Transformers, then an Army man, then law enforcement. So Travis convinced him that he should be an Army Police Man! I think what sealed the deal was the face paint! We already had the camo clothes and hat. So I made him a utility belt, so he could carry his handcuffs and walkie talkie!
He told me that Army Police Men are brave! So this is his way of being brave!
I asked them to pose and this is what I got!
The Loot!! This was after 2 days of trick or treating!
We also did a Trunk or Treat at Church on Saturday night (we forgot the camera!). We had a pretty good turn out and a ton of people were there! Since our beloved Ducks were playing at the same time, Travis agreed to come with the family. It was hard for him but he made it through! His sister Shannon recorded the game so he was able to watch it start to finish! And what a game that was!!!
Our friends Josh and Emily out in Oregon sent us this years spirit shirts for the Ducks! They say "Quack Out Loud!" We usually wear them on Saturday's or whenever there is a game! We have been "quacked" at in the stores before! It's pretty fun! Madison gets a kick out of quacking back!
So this picture is for Josh! I had gotten mine a size big! And good thing I did because this kid is growing fast! Thanks Josh!

Love the shirts! Robert almost called Travis during the game on Saturday night, I guess it's good he didn't!
The costumes were great, we will have to get those books and read them to the kids!
Our kids never got into those books, but they were big at Blake's school in Kindergarten. As for the Duck shirts...I'm sure ya get LOTS of comments from "Donkey fans" when ya wear them around town. :) Since Oregon's done so well around here we get TONS of comments when we wear ours as well...sometimes good, sometimes bad. (SEC fans aren't so happy we're doing so well.) Ashlyn got quite the attention at the County Parade last week when she wore hers - all kinds of people on the various floats commented as they rode by and threw her extra candy! Go DUCKS...this week's game was AWESOME!!!!
I LOVE that Madison dressed up as SkippyJon Jones! We love those books too. You guys are so creative! And the Army Policeman is cute too! Looks like you had a great Halloween!
