Halloween 2009

Chad and the boys had their last regular season basketball game on Saturday.  They ended the season 4-4--which I think is pretty good.  Throughout the season, the team had many kids miss practices and games due to the flu--including ours!!  Next weekend is the Playoffs!!  Good luck, Jazz!

After the game, we went home and got ready for Halloween.  It seems that The Straughan Halloween Party is becoming a tradition no matter what state we are in!!

This year the kids chose their own individual outfits--the boys were pretty creative.  Mace was a Mad Scientist, Jake was "Scary" Potter, and Callie was a hula girl.  Of course the weather didn't cooperate and poor Callie had to wear a sweater and tights with her costume. 

I was "Flo" from the Progressive Commercials.

Chad and Brandon were the Blues Brothers.  While trick-or-treating with the kids, some of the neighbors thought they were "Drunken Mormons"!!

Since the boys ditched us again this year--it was just Daddy and his girl trick-or-treating.  The boys even ditched EACH OTHER this year--they went off with separate groups of friends.

Some of the party-goers. . .once again it was a great Halloween Party!!
