Jacqui: The ward Halloween activity is tonight. Wanna go? We don't have to dress up. (I had originally decided not to go.. until I found out I didnt have to wear a costume!)
Brent: Okay.
Jacqui: Hey! Let's go as basketball players! Go get your stuff, let's see what we've got. I know I have an old jersey here somewhere. (Apparently I change my mind quite quickly.)
We came back with jerseys, shorts, socks, sweaters/jackets, bags, balls ....and matching gold pants. YES.
Thank you to Craig who picked up the sweatbands.
...And we were the 3 of 5 people who actually dressed up! There were only 20 people there though.. kinda sad. But we had fun. The other costumes? I regret to say I didnt take a picture. There was...a shadow and swine flu (A pig with wings and fangs). Brilliant.
The pumpkin-carving contest.

And here's a look at our last-minute costumes.
You're supposed to throw on "three"
We even played some basketball while we were there....why not right?
K Maybe the funniest part was how I wore my sweatband like an actual headband. If I ever actually wore one in a game, it would look more like the boys'. But I wouldn't actually wear one so it doesn't really matter.
No way can I palm a men's ball.
Bring it.

Looked like a fun party. Those pumpkin cutouts were really something. I thought the one you made Jacqui was quite unique.. Your basketball costumes were a great idea. At least you were able to get in some basketball practice..while you were there.
Its hard to believe that Craig is at University now. You are all smart kids and so I imagine classes are going well. Wishing you all the best.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Thanks for the blog update.
The three of you are awesome!!!!
Way to go in showing them how to dress up and have a good time at a party. The headbands made the costume. And Ghost on Craig's shirt - where did that come from...very appropriate for a Halloween party.
Loved all the pumpin designs!
Thanks for sharing.
ohh.. i love this!
you guys look like you are having fun together.
good job on the costume idea. when you said gold pants i kept picturing mc hammer pants. but i'm glad to know it wasn't quite like that.
love you guys!!! and the pumpkins.. that one of you made me laugh
Your pumpkin was awesome! and good job on the last minute costumes! Growing up our costume box always had old b-ball, football and baseball uniforms, oh and a couple referee shirts. We fought over the baseball uniform, it was so cool with "knickers" and a wool shirt ( I think it was my dad's from his youth) What I would give to have those around now!
You three sure have fun together!
In regards to Craig's "GHOST" basketball uniform. This is his jersey from a summer games team. Their coach was "Casper" so they came up the "GHOST" name for the team.
The Halloween party looks like a fun time.
I'm glad Jacqui and Brent are getting Craig out for some activity time. I don't think Craig has studied so much before. (No farm work to do, not much else to do except be in his room and study like Jacqui and Brent).
I'm definitely PROUD of my children! It's nice to know they are getting along well together.
I like it that you three were the "party-ers" of the group!
I loved the pumpkins, especially your vomiting one...I knew it was an "Asian" pumpkin because of the eyes...
Great pictures!
great idea!!
I think your pumpkin was my favorite!!! GOOD JOB!!
I need to come up with a costume.. and quick!
hmmmm...
I love you LOTS!!!
