Happy Halloween!

(It's less than 3 weeks until Christmas. I think it's about time I post about Halloween.)

Halloween was a lot of fun, as usual. The kids were nice to me with their costume selection. Tyler wanted to stick with his candy-themed costume, but this year he recruited his sister to help out. The two of them came up with their idea and designed the costumes themselves. Can you figure out what they are?

Clue #1- If you can't tell from the picture- Ty is wearing grey sweats with an on/off switch. The afro is supposed to help him look like the device that he is.

Clue #2- &

Clue #3- Emily's costume is a picture of a hurricane as seen from space, with "September 13, 2008" written across the top.

Put the words from those 3 clues together and you'll figure out what they were. (Don't worry if you can't. Most people at the ward party needed a LOT of hints. But they got some laughs when all was revealed.)

Randy did not want to be Megamatic for the the 4th year in a row. (Don't worry if you don't know who Megamatic is. He's a character from Randy's imagination.) He wanted to be some obscure Pokemon, but I had no time to make a costume this year. Luckily, he happily agreed to be a ninja and was in character all night.

Lucy used a costume from last year- another bonus for me. She didn't really care what she wanted to be, as long as she could wear make-up!

Time's up! Did you figure out their costume?

They were Mike & Ike! (Tyler was dressed as a microphone- a mic- and Emily's shirt had a picture of Hurricane Ike.) Their idea was to give out little boxes of Mike & Ike to people who could figure it out. Since no one really could, they gave them out to the people who liked their idea and didn't roll their eyes.

Tyler and Emily are so clever! I didn't figure it out, but once you told me I think that was cool and very original. Great minds to come up with those costumes!!

Tell them that they stumped their grandparents too. They really have creative ideas and I love them. Loved the pictures, and of Randy's Birthday also. Love to all, Grandpa and Grandma.
