One lone Halloween Party

This year, we only had one lone Halloween party to celebrate. I think the biggest reason is that our ward isn't having one because of Stake Conference. Stake Conference is today and tomorrow. (Lame-O!) But that isn't this story. That's another story.

Anyways, we got a flier on our door on Mondayish, and it announced a Halloween Party on the 28th. Free Pizza and Candy. Oh, and a costume contest. I looked at the flier--"Free Pizza?" I smiled, that means no cooking that night! We are so totally in! On the 28th, we realize there is no other party so we throw together costumes really quick. The Bug Hero pulls out his net and some old pokemon balls and goes as a Pokeman Catcher. I pull out my "costume" aka, Uniform. My low slung calculator holster, Super Pi Shirt and Red Cape. We look at the baby hero. He doesn't have a costume. I hand him an abacus (yes, I have one) and say, "Here, be my sidekick."

Not really costumes, Mine, I wear just for fun. I love wearing a cape, and it's great to have my low slung calculator holster out again. We appear for free pizza. I eat the pizza, the Baby Hero has plenty of people to look at, and the Bug Hero--he found a few ten year olds in Star Wars costumes. He goes back and gets his lightsaber and they duel it out in the lawn while I put the Baby Hero to bed.

All in all, worth it if not a little sad for the lameness of our Halloween celebrations this year. I'd forgotten about it, until this Morning. In the midst of our applesauce canning, (I really like doing that. Don't judge me.) I receive a phone call. It's the office informing me that I won third place in the costume contest. My "costume" that is not a costume, with side kick won us $25! We were totally stoked! Makes our Halloween a little less lame.

And gives me a great story to blog about. The Baby Hero is still really cute, but I can't really blog about him talking to me. "Baby Hero Talks. It's Cute" would be the post. Fun for me, not for you.

Happy Halloween!
