*farewell to spooky days*

Well, Halloween is over. (sniff) I love Halloween. It's my favorite Holiday. You know why? Because my fairytale started on October 31, 1999. I was at the BYU Halloween Carnival and spotted my friend Jason talking to a most attractive west coast rapper. If I recall correctly, he was wearing some Adidas warm-ups, 5 watches, a couple chains around his neck, and a poofy blonde afro. (I am always attracted to people with hair larger than mine.) It was love at first sight. So I went up to Jason to say hi (with alterior motives of course) and he introduced me to old companion, Jared. I was a blue fairy, all glittery with false eyelashes, but Jared commented later that what really caught his attention was my supersternal notch and my genuine smile. Every year I relive our meeting and smile. I think Jared has worn a variation of the afro costume every year since then.

Here a picture of Sam at his Kindergarten Halloween parade as a pterodactyl:

And a picture of the offspring sporting their outfits... (don't fairies and rappers make cute little kids?)

A picture of the kids trick or treating. I love the North East because people go ALL OUT on decorating their houses... check out the house in the background of this picture-- they put their shutters all crooked to make the house look super spooky! Love it!

Happy Halloween!!

Oh, and I know you are all dying to know what Jared and I were for Halloween this year. I was an old lady (complete with bathrobe, granny doo and crochet hook) and Jared was... a 70's afro king. Sorry, we didn't get a pic! We were so busy snapping photos of the little ones we forgot how stupid we looked ourselves.
