a pink flamingo in the loving arms of the scream ghost...hmmm. so much for the years when i could choose coordinating costumes. oh, and yes...years when my first child would actually dress up. i have lost all control, for this holiday anyway, and i am fine with that. the bleeding scream ghost is so far from coleman's personality, it is almost funny. hampton, however, completely engulfed the pink flamingo's very being. funny, again. austin, you ask? hmmm, he had fun (un-costumed) traveling between his friends' homes sampling candy...and scaring the innocent trick-or-treater along the way. my, how times change! another tradition, that remains true & quite enjoyable, was the visit of family and friends for chili & cocktails. evie was dressed as a beautiful monarch butterfly, accompanied by her parents (dressed to embrace the 50's). what a fun night, as always! a few days prior to halloween, coleman celebrated halloween with his class (of course, without the "scary" mask). fun times!
coleman's football season with the cyclones came to an end this week. unfortunately, they experienced their first loss of the entire season, and the first game any team was able to score on them. 6-0...final score. it was a fantastic game, and very difficult to see the upset. the tears flowed (and coleman's shoulders shook) as they were presented with the second place trophies and medals. coleman played a wonderful game...we thoroughly enjoyed cheering him and the entire cyclones team on. a fantastic group of boys and parents. what a super season! already looking forward to next year!
