Halloween

We started celebrating Halloween last weekend by just being ourselves. For a last minute costume, I think we did ok. But Pearce may need therapy after seeing his Dad dressed as a woman. Let's just say he was very unsettled.

Eric stood about 6'5 in those platform beauties. We both agreed Eric looked like an uglier version of Kelsey (his 19 year old sister). A really, really uglier version. Here are a few of the other young married's who participated. Good ideas for next year.

Mr. and Mrs. Palin. Accent and all. Move over SNL Tina Fay.

Hippie Chic and the bride of Frankinstin.

Frankenstien. And my favorite Juno and her cross country running boy toy. Where's your backpack dude?

The gang of young married's. Pearce happened to walk into the shot. Where's his sitter? And where is Wendi aka Eric? All in all it was a good time. Thank you to those who sweat and toiled to make our young married lives so festive.

We also went to the Tri-Ward Family Carnival Halloween party at the Tab. Eric ran a booth with a pumpkin ring toss. Meanwhile Pearce was having a two year old melt down about putting on his costume. I tried everything to get Pearce to wear it. But he was determined. I only managed to get one leg in. So Pearce went to the party costumeless. And of course this happend after I had given him a black eye....with make up. We went to the party anyway. And if anyone asked what Pearce was for halloween we explained, that he had been a Championship Boxer at one time, but now he was just an abused child. Fortunatly, Pearce was okay with wearing his costume for actual Haloween.

Boxing World Champion Pearce Phillips fights for his share of the candy.
Check out the six pack on that two year old!

Pearce had the lingo "Trick or Treat" down once he realized he would recieve candy in return. We tried to teach him to yell out " Adreane". But he was too focused on getting more candy.

Pearce was victorious and happy with his winnings! Another Halloween has come and gone. Surprisingly, not the candy. Yet.
