HaLLoWeeN 2009

It was a perfect day for football! The T-birds played UC Davis and it was a big game for us...
luckily SUU dominated and went into half-time up 42-21.
I tried getting Dallas into his costume for the game, but he wouldn't have it, so we went with his trusty old t-bird shirt instead :)
Dal LOVES getting a hot dog at the game. Usually he goes with ketchup, but being Halloween he decided to try a little something more...sour blue powder. SICK.
However, he seemed to like it because he ate almost the entire thing

He brought a bucket of candy to share with his friends, and didn't mind indulging in a few Nerd Rope's himself. And suckers, and shockers and Reece's and who knows what else.
Whatever, it was Halloween.

Kenna Pupunu was such a cute little cupcake!

Dallas thought Thor was an awesome 'scary guy'

A little MJ tribute for halftime

Dal was fascinated with the 'spooky cheerleaders'

YAY!!! Final score SUU 56 - UC Davis 35!

Dallas and Daddy on the field after the big win

Dallas and Emily Brahman had a blast chasing each other after the game

we have to remind him that girls don't like being tackled so much...

all the kiddos running around wild after the game

Then onto Halloween night...
We had great plans to go trick-or-treating with the Pupunu's, but when it came time to get his costume on Dallas was FREAKING OUT! He had been talking all about being Elmo, so when he didn't want that we tried a few others...lion, batman, incredible, but he didn't want any of them.
He just kept saying he wanted to stay home and play. We didn't want to traumatize him for all his future Halloween's, so we ended up just staying home, eating chili and cornbread, eating candy, watching football and playing cars and football.

Here he is "trick-or-treating"...
just putting all the candy from our big bucket into his little elmo bucket

I couldn't even get him to humor me and put on his costume for a picture,
so this is all we got!

I'm thinking by next year he will be ready for some serious trick-or-treating :)

Ashley, thank you for letting me know about your blog! It is SO FUN to see how happy you guys are and to see how darling Dallas is! you are such a wonderful mom. Hmmm, I think I want to come to your house for breakfast! I must be a much "better" mom though because Emily gets nachos and even cookies for breakfast sometimes. it's amazing what a mom will do to get their child to eat! :) Tell Teag hi for us and we look forward to seeing lot's more!
