Happy Halloween!!!!!

We had a very busy Halloween this year! We went to MeMaw and PaPaw's house (Craig's parents) to show off Clint in his costume, but we don't have any pictures from there - it was a quick trip, as we were on our way to Ella's 2nd Birthday Party!!! Happy Birthday, Ella!
Clint was a Super Monster for Halloween! That is the largest burrito at Freebirds. We conceptualized this idea before he was born (I think), and I made the costume last week. We got shirts from The Bird, and we were Freebirds Employees. He was DELICIOUS!!!!!
After the party, we went to my parents' house for a little while since it was close, and we gave Clint a chance to get some rest and kept us from being in the car all afternoon. My dad in his costume...He was A Work of Art!!!

We went to Freebirds to show off. Clint was BIGGER than a Super Monster!!!! He is worth WAY more than anything on the menu!!!!


Here we are with the Freebirds Van.

Somehow, we did not receive any free food. What's up with that???
Then we headed to the church building for Trunk or Treat! Here is Trey with the pumpkins. He was John. He wore a Westfield t-shirt, carried a whistle and John's coach's badge and he had a little bit of facial hair. SO CUTE!!! I wish I had a close up of him. My mom is on the right - Ragedy Andy.

The Welborn Family (not us - there is another family with our name - spelled the same, even!) won the award for best decorated car. Cool, huh? The Alarid Family won for best costumes. I don't have any pictures, but Ursela, King Triton, Ariel, and Flounder were all super cute!!!

Dr. John, Princess Jennifer, and Coach O (the miniature version)!

Get out of here, birds!!!!

Jenn, Clint, Steph, and Rachel

Clint became one with the art and got some rest. (The art was hungry.)
Clint was so content all day in his costume. It was sort of like being swaddled. He was slippery, though, and if he hadn't been so relaxed, he would have been hard to hold onto!!! But he seemed to have a really good day! And he was so, so cute!!!!!!
Here is our decorated trunk. We served our candy out of aluminum pans with a ladel, Freebirds style. Can you see our pumkin? That was Craig's idea. He is so creative!!!



Trent and Rachel came out for Trunk or Treat and then came over afterwards. Clint fell asleep in the car on the way home, so we just put his car seat in his bed and he slept there until about 2am or so. I think he woke up disoriented, and it took a little while to get him back to sleep, but eventually we did. So tired... We enjoyed seeing our friends, and we look forward to our "Camping Trip" in November. We always go camping with the Mayberrys the weekend before Thanksgiving, but this year, Rachel reserved some rooms for us at her Dad's house in San Antonio, so we'll spend the nights there and do whatever we want to do in the area during the days. We haven't had the best experiences with weather on our caming trips, and I think this will be less stressful for all of us. Thanks Rachel - Great idea!!!

Today we rested.
