Halloween

This year for Halloween we had Captain America, a park ranger and an elephant. At some point, Trigg got the idea that park rangers are very serious and he refused to smile for any pictures when he was wearing the uniform...

 Very serious...until I got him giggling...

 ...which lead to more giggles...

 ...and full on laughter!

 Our crew ready to roll.

 Hyperion did a trick or treat event the weekend before Halloween, so we got the chance to test out our costumes and our jokes!

 Then it was pumpkin carving time! Well, carving and painting.

 Blythe and Garrett went for the painting route...it's less messy

 Garrett working hard on his pumpkin!

 Trigg cut the top off his and dug right in!

 Ooeey and gooey pumpkin guts!

 Blythe went for the elephant theme

 Garrett painted Captain America's shield on his pumpkin

 All set and ready for candy!

 Blythe was pretty excited to be an elephant for Halloween...until she went to music class and saw 2 other little girls dressed up as a princess. She slowly removed her elephant hat and said softly..."I want to be a princess" I told my co-workers this story and Laci, having 2 daughters of her own said, "I think we have an old Sleeping Beauty dress at home that my girls can't fit in anymore" So Laci brought it to work on the day families can trick or treat at the office. Once Blythe found that crown, she wore it home! Having 2 boys, princess dresses were not on our radar...but they are now on Blythe's Christmas list!

Happy Halloween from a future park ranger, Captain America and a princess (formally an elephant)! And Laci has become Blythe's favorite at dad's office!
