Halloween 2009

What a great day we had celebrating Halloween on a Saturday.  We started with Beau's first basketball game. Much improved over last year, but a little more work to do. He had fun, and did a great job listening to coach, and that is all we asked of him.  Pictures to come in later posts.

Then we anxiously awaited dark so we could start running around the neighborhood. Beau took off with the neighbors ahead of us.  Then Kyle, Kate, Luke, Brian, Brenley and I left shortly afterwards.  Kyle's family hit a few houses with us, and then it was time for them to go home and get Lucas some supper!

We caught up with Beau and the neighbors a few houses down.  It was so much fun.

We were the perfect little OSU family. Football player, Beau. Cheerleader, Brenley. Super Fan, Mom, and Coach Dad.  If only I had thought to decorate the wagon up like Bullet the horse.......NEXT YEAR!

The weather was awesome. There were a lot of people out, and everyone was having a great time. We saw some scary houses, and fun houses. Some refused to give Beau candy because of the school uniform he was wearing (we went back and egged their house later that night  - just kidding). But everyone gave Brenley candy, followed by...........oh, she is so cute.  She did so great. Walked right up to the door. She didn't say anything, and several times tried to put candy in their bowl from her bucket (and a few times she tried to just walk into their house), but each time she left with a sweet little "good-bye!"  There were a few times I was reminded of that FRIENDS episode where Rachel was pregnant and she ended up dumping the bowl of candy in a cute little girl's bag because she was so cute.  I thought that might happen a few times last night.

And I cannot forget to tell the story of running into one of Beau's classmates. I guess we were at her house and Beau went up got candy, and we noticed he was visiting with them, but there were tons of kids, and tons of parents around, and we didn't think anything about it. We started down the sidewalk, kids in tow, and this cute little girl came running up to him, and said, "My Mom told me to tell you that she thinks you are cute!"  And we were like, "Beau, who was that?!"  And he shrugged his shoulders and very flatly replied, "Oh, that was Hannah from my class at school."  End of story for him. He could have cared less. Brian and I thought it was a kill.

It was such a great night!  We got some great pictures out of the deal. Too bad the game couldn't have ended on a better note. Ah well. Not all was lost. We came home to chow down on some pizza and candy!  We know how to end the night on a good note!
